Yes, it's that time of year. Time to dust off the juicer and drink to spring. Leafy greens and other veggies are good for the liver which, according to my acupuncturist, is really the organ to concentrate on this time of year.
Do I have a favorite juicer? Of course I do! The Jack LaLanne Power Juicer™ was a purchase I made about two years ago and have loved ever since. What other appliance can you throw a whole tomato into? That's why it's awesome!
The funny thing about juicing is that I'm still surprised at the veggie-to-juice ratio. A big ole apple might only make a quarter cup of juice which always seems like less than whatever I imagined.
Here's a quick recipe that I've perfected over the years that's not too exotic. You can play with the exact amounts to taste but here's my favorite spring and summer veggie juice combo:
1 large tomato (3 small tomatoes will suffice)
1 medium apple
2 - 3 celery stalks
2 - 3 carrots
It's important in juicing to add a sweet fruit or veggie (apple, beet, carrot) to keep your juice from tasting like dirt.
Have fun juicing and knowing that you're doing something really good for your body. Enjoy!
