1 handful spinach leaves
1 handful fresh parsley
1/2 cup swiss chard
1 celery stalk
1 apple
*I substituted 2 leaves of Kale/Collard Greens for the spinach. The juice came out a really rich green color (deeper green than the normal green mix that we make) so I'm guessing that it had more phytochemicals in it, which is good. I thought that it tasted mostly like celery, but not bad.
C-Blend
2 oranges
1 grapefruit
1 lime
1/2 cup whole cranberries
*Recipe said you can also add honey to sweeten this up, but I drank it plain. It was delicious and tart and the cranberries gave it a little more zing while making the sour not just from the grapefruit. I loved it, and I think this is my new favorite. Although, the guys tried it and said that it was too sour for them.
Vidalia Vigor
1/4 cabbage
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 vidalia onion
1/3 fresh fennel bulb
*We didn't have onions, so we made it without onions, and the fennel smelled really yummy - like licorice. The juice tasted pretty bland, which to me was a good thing - I was expecting something gross. The strongest flavor in this was the bell pepper. Pretty good, and since it's one of the only reddish juices I think I can handle, might be a good one for me.
Slippery Beet
2 beets
1 clove garlic
1 apple
*Of all the beet recipes that I've tried, I find the beet taste to be the most disguised in this one. I actually can trick myself into drinking this one. :-) You mostly taste garlic. I actually did put in the right amount of garlic this time!
Spiced Carrot
3 carrots
1 spear broccoli
1/2 inch gingerroot
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
*I think I've made this before, but without the broccoli. This time, I thin the gingerroot was fresher (from Reading Terminal Market) so it was more spicy. I'm not sure that I could taste the difference between the broccoli vs the kale/collard greens that I used last time.
Apple Fresh
3 apples
1 cup grapes
1/2 lemon
*SO YUMMY!!!! Reminds me of a summer day. This would probably be a great post-workout juice.
