Nice Cool Juice RECIPES 4 Summer Fun

I wanted to share with you 2 Cool New Summer Time Juice Recipes. Make these up and keep them nice and cold. Take then in the cooler to the pool with you or freeze then into Popsicle or Slush for that perfect dessert.

 The Accelator 

1 Athana Cantaloupe or (2 Regular Cantaloupes)

2 cups Black Grapes

3 Large thick Carrots

1 Large Cucumber

½ Lime

Juice all together and serve Cold.

My husband named this juice based on what it he said it did for his workout after he had an 8 oz glass. This juice is loaded with yours vegetables if you make sure to get large cucumbers and carrots. Yet the cantaloupe and black grapes are the star of the show! So smooth and oh so delicious!

Today on my 71st day of my Juice Cleanse I have fresh peaches in the house and wanted to create something that showcased the peaches yet was not overly *peachy*. Here is my Peach Supreme.

Peach Supreme by Sandi

5 Peaches

2 Cups Red Grapes

1 Cup Strawberries

1 Large thick Carrot

1 Large very big Cucumber

Juice all the above together and  drink over ice.

I wanted to create a fun and exciting dessert for us to have and of course I am only *eating* juice so after putting on on my thinking cap I am up with something like an Italian Ice without the extra sugar. 

Just pure and wonderful juice...and of course ice!

Really simple to make. Take 2 cups of your Peach Supreme Juice and add it to 1 cup of ice in a blender. Blend on the *grate* making sure to hold on tight to the lid so that you don't have a mess.  Add a more ice to your  blender as needed until you get the consistency of Italian Ice (shown above). 

Spoon into serving bowls and place in the freezer if you will be serving within an hour or so or you can leave it in the blender jug and place it into your fridge for up to 4 hours.  You will not want to garnish with anything if it is for juicers. Right before you serve it squeeze a small amount of fresh lime juice...a mean small, less than  1/4 teaspoon for a serving dish. If it is for anyone not juicing garnish with a sprig of mint leaf or grate a little bit of fresh lime zest.

Hope you enjoyed today's Cold Summer Recipes.

Tomorrow we'll be talking about What You Can Do With Some of Your Pulp for the Non Juicer's in Your Family. It's a really Yummo Salsa!

Stay Juicy

What Makes A Nice Balanced Glass OF Juice?

When  I started juicing the first thing I asked in groups was HOW Do I know WHAT TO JUICE? 

I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross and joined his online Community, Join The Reboot.

There are a whole mess of good recipes to follow and weekly meal plans too. BUT I am one of those adventurous gals who is always in the kitchen or in front of my sewing machine making up my own thing, so I knew it would only be a matter of time before I would have to make up my own Juices.

So I had to know WHAT MAKES A Nice Balanced Glass of Juice?

I picked up a couple Juicing Books, got online and read  from some pretty knowledge folks and of course asked lots of questions in the Join the Reboot community as well as the Rebooter Buddies on Facebook.

One of the best books I can recommend is "The Juicing Bible" by Pat Crocker. My hubby gave it to me for my birthday along with Eat to Live and those to books already look like I have owned them for 5 years. (Been less than a month.)

 So the run of thumb for creating good healthy juices is to make your ratio at least 80% vegetable juice to 20% fruit juice. You can always create an all vegetable juice that would be wonderful and if you create all fruit juices now and again that is fine too...Just try not to make a habit of it. The reason being you don't want to have your blood sugar going through the roof and your weight going UP not down. The whole purpose of Juicing is to get HEALTHY so Juice responsibly. 

Did you notice the nice fresh glass of juice at the top of the page?
