I’ve been away from my precious, precious juicer since before my Christmas vacation, but today had the opportunity to whip up something delicious thanks to my SPUD delivery. I ordered their “Organic Detox Juicing Box” delivered to my home and opened up a bin full of veggie goodness. OH! I’d forgotten how yummy these juices are! At the first taste, my body instantly made a happy face. AND, it’s the perfect addition to “Total Health Month.” What an excellent way to get a blast of vitamins first thing in the AM.
Today’s juice was kamikaze style: basically I pulled out a bunch of thing from the box and threw them into my juicer. I made a bigger whack of juice than I usually do, as life is busy these days and I wanted to have two days worth. Now, ideally you should drink your juices ASAP after juicing them, but sometimes we gotta make some compromises.
Kamikaze Juice
- 1 lemon
- 4 carrots
- 4 stalks celery
- 1/2 cucumber
- handful of parsley
- slice ginger
The lemon, carrot and ginger keep it sweet and zippy, while the cucumber and celery add a” clarity” taste that I really like.
