Some more juice

Green Lime Aid
bunch of kale
bunch of collard greens
two apples
one lime
cucumber
2 stalks of celery
*this was pretty good. Very full flavored and you could taste the lime more than anything.

Grape Fruit
2 cups of grapes
1 grapefruit
*pretty good. The grapes really do a good job of cutting the tartness from the grapefruit - great for people who want to drink grapefruit juice but don't like the sour in it.

Carrot Allium
3 carrots
3 leaves of collard greens
1 clove garlic
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper
*this tastes like salsa. I put in a bulb (oops) of garlic when I made it last time instead of a clove so it was too spicy. I'll have to try to make this again, only with the proper amounts of stuff.

  1. Update on the Carrot Allium. . . it was just too garlicky to tolerate, so we used the rest of the juice as stock for a sort of tortilla soup:

    rest of the juice
    1/2 box Trader Joe's free range chicken broth
    can of Trader Joe's lowfat beef chili
    can of black beans
    1/2 cup leftover brown rice
    salt to taste

    Basically boiled everything and then let simmer on low for 10 minutes. The result was quite tasty. I'll have to work on some other juicing concoctions that can be made into soup.
