The Juicing Journey Resumes

All photos by me.

I'm juicing again! I couldn't be more excited to add some fresh-squeezed fruits and veggies to my diet for the new year. I'm on the path to eating well; after all, health is the new wealth (hadn't you heard?).

This week I tried two simple and tasty recipes.

The first was a citrus-y energy boost: 1 apple, 2 oranges, and a lemon. Zing! This juice was a little sour, it's very palatable and is a nice combo of flavors.

Next up, I tried a new green juice. I thought this one was much better than the first green juice I made, a little less crazy tasting (no ginger, and less celery). I loved it! The perfect afternoon snack.


I threw in 3 oranges, 1 apple, 3 celery sticks, 1/2 cucumber, and a bunch of spinach. Mmmm green machine!



The result was a beautiful, bright colored juice that tasted lovely -- light, refreshing, a little sweet and not too overpowering. I think I'm going to stick with spinach over kale for a while, since my tastebuds seem to enjoy it more.



I'm proud to say I've got fresh juice back in the fridge! Stay tuned for more juice recipes soon, plus new dishes for the wholesome eating series as well.
