Everything Tastes Good When Your Hungry

So today's mix tasted great.  I am not sure if it was because it was good or because the last 2 days' were so bad.  It had: kale, chard, pear, apple, asparagus, watermelon, tomato, cucumber, scallion, blueberry, lemon and broccoli.

The Save

So yesterday's juice was bad. What to do with the left overs?
I squeezed in some grapefruit juice and it made it much more palatable. Tomorrow, a fresh batch with lesson learned.

Roots

I got this big idea to put a bunch of roots together today. I used dikon radish, beet, celery root and turnip. I only used parts of each. I won't bother to tell you what else I used because it tasted like starchy soap. I think the turnip was to blame. On the plus side, it has calcium, vitamin C and B6.

Fig Infused and Balsamic Vinegar

Inspired by a fellow blogger, I attempted a new chicken dish.  Please check Eat GFCF for the recipe.
So I tried it, with alterations.  Instead of raspberry jam, I used the pulp and some juice from sweet dark cherries (I'm such a juice head).  I used some balsamic vinegar but also substituted fig infused vinegar for some of it.  It is a little sweeter and thought it might help make up the difference for the jam.  (and I was looking for an excuse to use it).  I didn't have fresh rosemary so I used general poultry seasoning.  It still resulted in a nice new way to give chicken a kick.  I think it needed a starch and a glass of wine.  I had neither but a bed of fresh spinach worked out.

Holy Juice Batman

Today I used more veggies and fruit with a little less leafy product. I was prepared for a little extra juice but when my back up was full before I started the cucumber....wow.
Tip: finish with the cucumber, the basket is easier to clean.

the list:  kale, green leaf lettuce, cucumber, lemon, 2 pears, one apple, 2 tomatoes, and asparagus.

The Lighter Side of Green

Today I used only one kale leaf and no chard. It made for a lighter feel to the drink.
The mix: romaine, spinach, kale, cucumber, tomato, orange, 2 pears, and yellow carrots.
