Juice and Leftovers

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a juicer! Something I have wanted since I became a fruitarian have been pregnant. I crave juice all the time, so it is wonderful to be able to make it myself.

This morning’s mix was one pear, one apple, and a couple of handfuls of carrots and broccoli florets. It was delicious – I can’t wait to experiment with it! Anyone have any good juice combos?? I really want to try some things with leafy green goodness.

We spent the day shopping/making gift exchanges, and when Meeker had to go back to work, I came home and had some Christmas leftovers for dinner.

Mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, and gravy

And now I need to run to the grocery store to restock our fruit supply…really I just want another 5 lb bag of grapefruit.

  1. That’s cool that you got a juicer…what do you do with the pulpy stuff?
    Throw it away? Just curious.
    I have never had a juicer, but I am sure that there are thousands of
    delicious combinations of fruits and veggies that you can come up with. Yum!

  2. Haha I just posted about how I never use my juicer because it’s a pain to clean. I do like the juice though. My fave combo is apple, carrot, cucumber, spinach.

    • Thank you!! It’s super exciting and exhausting all at the same time! I’m a little more than halfway though (5.5 months) – and loving every second of it! How are you??

  3. I’ll take another ten pound bag of apples please at that!;)
    The christmas food looks lovely!
    I want to try a juicer! I’m not the hugest juice fan though! I like smoothies and milkshakes and realll food if ya know what i mean!

  4. I’m not a big fan of juice so I don’t know many combos, although I heard green apple, kale, and lemon was good.
    PS – I guess I missed that last post so CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting! :-)

  5. Love your blog!
    I got a juicer for my wedding last year, and I adore it. If you are loving grapefruits right now, stick some whole fruits in the fridge and juice them. It makes the best citrus juice. But I love the combo of celery, green apple and spinach. I start with this and throw in a wild card fruit. The new issue of Body and Soul has a couple of recipes so does their website. Its fun to experiment with different combos!
