My New Fall Juice

I was at the store today and saw my favorite thing to cook with .... cranberries! So of course I had to grab a bag and head home to the juicer! I took out my favorite produce and whipped up a new Fall juice and wanted to share it with you all. Fresh, Fall and very easy to make. YES it's from Sandi, so it does have a a few produce items in it but it is so worth every one of them.

2 Large Beets Peeled and cubed

4 oranges(peeled)

2 lemons (peeled)

3 limes (peeled)

4 Granny Smith Apples 

1 cup Cherries (pitted)

2 cups fresh Cranberries

2 pounds Carrots

Serve over ICE

Hint: Fill your shoot with your cherries and cranberries and put your plunger in. Then turn on your juicer. Your berries will now juice and will not shoot out all over the place. Once they juice you can turn off the juicer and till the shoot again until you have juiced all your small items. Follow all your small items with any produce that is soft like pears, peaches or apples. Then follow with carrots so that the carrots will wash out all the residue left behind. Make sure to check your pulp container though out  your juicing time. 

Another Hint: I place a plastic bag from the grocery store in my pulp container before I juice so that I have less to clean up. I check it mid way through and press down on the pulp so that I have more room for pulp. Continue on juicing. 

I like to save this pulp to use in muffins but that is for another recipe. LOL

Til tomorrow

Have a Juicy Day

Chips And Salsa Juice Recipe

My niece and her husband recently started on their own juice journey and I must say it sounds like it has been a wonderful one for them as well. She text-ed me a recipe that her hubby came up with that sound just wonderful. I added my spin (which I will note) and I must say this is the only way to celebrate the FOURTH OF JULY if you are Juicing! I mean come on everyone will be cooking out and munching out on chips and salsa... WELL, they makes it possible for us juicers to do so as well.

Chips and Salsa Juice
(Makes  40 oz of Juice)


6 Ears of Corn (cut the kernels off)
3 Bell Peppers
6 Tomatoes (Charlie uses Roma... I used Beef Steak)
3 jalapeno peppers
4 green onion stalks (I add the bulbs as well)
1 clove of garlic
3 limes (peeled)
Now what Salsa is without Cilantro? So my twist is
1 handful of cilantro.

Now I know you are thinking HOW in the world are you going to juice kernels of corn? Well, my niece gave me a hint that made it so simple and easy.
Turn off your juicer.
Place your corn kernels into the food shoot.

Place the plunger on top and THEN turn the juicer on.
You will need to do this each time you empty our the food shoot but it works...I promise you! You will get the most amazing Corn Milk!

After you "juice' your corn then follow with the rest of your produce. As my niece warned me, I will warn you... Don't take a single sip of the corn milk or there will be none left for your salsa!

Have a great Holiday!

Til Tomorrow
