Juices, Including Morning Green from Nourish Kitchen Table NYC

by Nov 28, 2017

This morning, I poured a glass of juice. The colors were vibrant and beautiful and practically begged for a photo. The green one is sweet with spinach and pineapple, slightly tart and spicy thanks to grapefruit and jalapeño. The ruby one is beet, carrot, apple and ginger, a pretty standard combo. Both are cool, lively and delicious.

 

I use a Breville juicer but you can make juice without a juicer by using a blender then squeezing the pulp through a fine mesh strainer or a few layers of cheesecloth—check out Dana’s post at Minimalist Baker.

 

A few juicing guidelines:

  • fresh fruits and veggies are best
  • best enjoyed the day it is made but it will keep a couple days in glass, in refrigerator
  • lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges: no peels (cut away and discard prior to juicing)
  • ginger: a quick peel with the side of a spoon makes things easier on your juicer
  • more about ginger: I like to make a pure ginger juice and keep a jar in the refrigerator for adding a tablespoon or two to juice, tea, or water (ginger juice is longer lived that others, I store it for up to a week)
  • parsley is excellent in juices, add some to any green juice and see if you like it
  • ratios of the fruits and veggies determine the flavor outcome, but you can wing it and experiment—lots of recipes out on the web, and some coming up next…
  • Carrot Cucumber Apple Pear: carrots (6), cucumber (3), apple (3), pear (3), lemon (1)
  • Chard Carrot Apple/Pear: 1 bunch of chard or kale, carrots (2), celery (2), cucumber (2), apple or pear (2), lemon (1), 2″ ginger, + a few mint leaves if you have them
  • “Via’s Spicy Juice”: carrots (3), celery (2), apple (2), beet (1) or 3 leaves kale or chard, lemon (1), cucumber (½ ), 2″ ginger
