Jumpstart Juice

Why buy overly sugared juices from the grocery store, when you can make your own healthier juices at home. My husband and I just started juicing last year and we are in love with our juicer. Juicing has been a fun tool to have in the kitchen….we actually fight over who gets to make the juice for the next day. Since we have juicing we both have noticed a major energy boost to our day. We enjoy all vegetables and fruits which makes it easy to play with different recipes.

Here is one of our favorite easy juicing recipes…Enjoy!

Jumpstart Juice

2 small oranges or 1 large orange

1 large grapefruit

half an apple

1 small/medium nugget of a peeled ginger root

1 cup of kale/spinach

2 small/medium carrots

1 dash of turmeric

1 splash of apple cider vinegar 

Tips: I place an orange first and the ginger in the middle and another orange on top when sending it down the juicer-If you place the ginger first down, the juicer will try to discard the ginger quickly instead of grinding it up. Make sure you core the apple and remove the seeds before sending it down the juicer. I add the dash of turmeric and  splash apple cider vinegar in the juice pitcher and stir it around so that it is an equal mix of all items.

Re-purpose Tips: There are so many wonderful recipes and ideas for the discarded veggies and fruits. I like to use them as compost for my tiny garden and to cook with. Try using the discarded items in a soup or for a bread recipe.
