So I bought this new juicer from amazon and it arrived yesterday. I’ve been interested in juicing for a while as it can be very beneficial for ones health.
I tried the recipe on Joe Cross’s website called the Mean Green Juice
So I gathered up my ingredients and washed them up, cored the apples and peeled the cucumber. Added kale, celery, and an inch of ginger.
Shoved them into the juicer.
took out the pulp and rejuiced it. Look how much leftover was in there!
To be honest, I was scared to try it.. I preferred washing the juicer first.. Let it mentally sink in lol. But then, no more hiding or running away.
Man, I was in for a treat.. Or was I?
I WISH I peeled the ginger, or maybe I put too much, but whatever it was, I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to taste like that. “That” is unlike anything I have tasted in my life. It was bearable, and I loved the smell of ginger in it. But it was kinda spicy. Let me see how I can put this in words. It tasted a lot like pure coconut water, with a hint of celery and a lot of ginger. I didn’t taste any of the greens.
I couldn’t swallow it, my throat was kinda burning from the spiciness lol.
So I peeled a mango and blended it with the green juice in the blender. Ah, so much more bearable. I found the trick to it is to sip it as quickly as possible through a straw. Maybe some ice will help.
I wish you could see the faces of my kids watching me drink it, while they shoved their faces with leftover pizza.
Yeah, Next time I’m peeling the ginger.
