MP3 Fresh Juice

1 whole mango, peeled and pitted
2-3 peaches, pitted
1 pear
1" round of pineapple (you don't have to peel if you are juicing but if you decide to blend you will have to peel!)

Process all the fruit through your juicer or if you want, you can put in in the blender for a bit of a thicker drink. 

AFTERNOON DELITE Fresh Juice

As I was making this juice this morning and thinking about when this afternoon I would drink it, the song Afternoon Delight popped into my head so I said to myself, "Self, what a great idea for a name!"

2 kiwis peeled
1 orange zested
1 inch round of pineapple
1 mango peeled

Process all the fruit through the juicer.  If you want a thicker drink, this also makes a great smoothie!  I would not recommend adding milk.  If you need to thin it out, use a little water.  And yes!  That is a canning jar glass that you see.  I use canning jars to transport my juice. 

BEETRICE POTTER'S RABBIT Fresh Juice

1 beet, including the greens

1 orange zested

2 large carrots

Process through the juicer.

FRED & GINGER Fresh Juice

2 large, whole carrots
1 large apple quartered
1 roma tomato or 12 cherry/grape tomatoes
1" knob of ginger (2" if you like it strong)

Put everything in the juicer.  Put the tomatoes in between the apple quartered.

MACKENZIE'S MAGIC POTION Fresh Juice

My daughter decided she wanted to throw a bunch of citrus fruit in the juicer to see what happens.  She, supprisingly, added fruits that she won't normally eat.  This recipe makes a lot. 

2 blood oranges, zested
2 navel oranges, zested
2 lemons
2 limes
2 granny smith apples
2 red delicious apples

Juice all the fruit.  Serve as is.

For a lemonade-type drink, add 2-3 cups of water (depends on your taste) and about 2 tablespoons of agave syrup.  Stir well and refrigerate for 2 hours.

PANGAPPLE Fresh Juice

I tried to come up with a name to encompass the 3 fruits I used to make this delish juice.

1 pear
1 mango
1/4 of a pineapple

Put fruits through the juicer.  You don't have to peel the skins off the pineapple or mango if you don't want but make sure you cut the mango away from the pit.

GREEN MEENIE Fresh Juice

Talk about a burst of green goodness!  I should have named this GREEN GODDESS!  This juice packs one hell of a chlorophyll punch!  The apple, pear, and lemon combo helps cleanse as well as cut away the bitterness of the greens.  The addition of wild dandelion greens is a great treat or your body during those few weeks in the spring when they start appearing in your front yard.  I don't spray my yard so I know that mine are safe to consume.  Check your local public markets for them too.  Try to avoid the "tame" ones in the supermarkets.  They lose a lot of their natural flavor and nutrients when they are grown deliberately.

1 granny smith apple
1 green pear
1/2 of a lemon, including rind
1 whole unpeeled cucumber
3 stalks of celery
2 stalks of fennel
2 big handfuls of spinach
5 kale leaves
1 small handful of parsely
1 small handful of cilantro
5 green swiss chard leaves
5 romaine lettuce leaves
3-5 good sized fresh, wild dandelion plants, roots too (when in season)
2 frozen wheat grass cubes

Juice the leafy veg first and then everything else except the wheatgrass cubes.  This usually makes enought to fill up 2 pint-sized canning jars or 1 quart jar.  Put one wheatgrass cube in each pint jar or if you are using a quart jar, put them both in there.  Pour the juice over the ice cubes.  Drink immediately or save for later.  If you save it for later, make sure to cap the jar and refrigrate and don't wait too long to drink it!!

SALAD BOWL Fresh Juice

This recipe makes enough for 2 pints of juice. 

1 apple
1/2 head of romaine
1 large cucumber
2 stalks of celery
1-2 carrots
3 radishes (optional)
2 wheatgrass cubes (if you split the juice, put one wheatgrass cube in each glass)

Juice everything one item at a time.  You can drink it all at once or split it half.  Make sure to keep it in the fridge.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE Fresh Juice

2 apples
1 pear
1 whole beet, greens included

Process through your juicer. For best juicing of the beet greens, send them through in between the apples.

BLOOD LUST Fresh Juice

1 blood orange
1 pear
1 apple
1 red plum
1 lime
1/4 to 1/2 cup of blackberries

Use a carrot peeler to get the zest off of the blood orange. Keep the white pith on. You don't have to peel the apple or pear. If you have a juicer that has a chute big enough for the whole fruit, just juice everything one by one except the berries. Process the berries in the blender with the juice.
