Day 1- breakfast


Our first juice! We started to follow a recipe we found, except when we tried it both of us looked at each other in shock with puckered faces as two lemons somehow overpowered half a costco bag of greens, carrots, celery, and cucumbers. So we ended up modifying it quite a bit. We made a 32 oz batch, enough for two meals for each of us. We want to juice every other day so the plan is to stock mason jars in the fridge. Each jar is 32oz (two servings) and we are filling them to the very top to avoid as much oxidation as possible. I took a close up of our pulp. My mom used to have a centrifugal juicer and this time she wanted to try a masticating one, and she said she noticed a big difference in how dry the pulp was. Anyway, I have the juicer out in the 18 degree weather right now cooling between batches cause that mofo got hot after making 8 servings.


RECIPE (4 16oz servings)
4 celery stalks
8 carrots
1 english cucumber
6 apples (red & green)
2 lemons
buncha hands of greens (kale, chard, spinach)...1/3-1/2 of a costco        mixed bag
