Juicing

The mister and I have decided to start doing some juicing. We shared one juiced beverage, where he threw in one of every kind of fruit that we had (I don't recommend this method). He did one the other day by himself. And we each did our own thing for breakfast this morning. He made something with carrots and ginger and who knows what else (when I got up the kitchen was orange and the cat smelt of ginger). I, this morning, made something quite delicious. I got my recipe by combining 2 others that I found in The Big Book of Juices and Smoothies (a great book loaned to us by the same friend that loaned us the juicer).


4 apples
2 cups of blackberries ("fresh," but frozen for who knows how many years)
~1/2 tsp cinnamon

And then I heated it for about 30 seconds. Amazing.

I'm excited about all the potential combinations (and all the fruits and veggies)! And I hear bran muffins (and perhaps other things?) can be made using the pulp left over from juicing. Fruits, veggies, and fresh muffins... :)
