Only the best juice ever!!!
A few weeks ago I discovered a juice bar close to work. In an attempt to eat better (the SurveyMonkey 15 is no joke!), I’ve been doing juice for breakfast… in lieu of the absolutely mouth watering food from La Boulange. And you know what? The juice has been great. It’s tasty… depending on what I get pretty filling too. But it’s also pricey. Yes, prepare to drop your jaw when I tell you that a 14.5oz bottle is $9.50. Yeah. It’s good. Just questionable if it’s $9.50 good. So I reversed engineered the recipe of my favorite one, and got a cold press juicer (thank you referral bonus money!). Here is the juice recipe. Makes about 4.5 servings (4 days worth of juice for me), which is perfect, since that’s about as good as the juice will last for.
Needed:
– 5 apples (I prefer green, but your favorite will do)
– 1 whole pineapple
– 4-5 sprigs of fresh mint leaves
– 2-3 sprigs of fresh spinach
– a willing juicer. I happen to have one in the 5 yr old boy variety. He labors for fruit and resulting juice, so he’s a pretty cheap date.
A bunch of mint and a bunch of spinach last me through 2-3 juicings.
Juice the above. I prefer starting with the veggies, and ending with the fruit. The above should produce about 5 1/3 cups of un-dilutted juice. Add 2-3 cups of water (filtered if your tap is yucky). I say 2-3 because it depends on how diluted you want your juice. Keep in the fridge, and shake before drinking (since it will separate over time).
You’re welcome 🙂
