Veggie juices

Please try and let me know if these are edible :slight_smile:

5-Color Vegetable Juice

Serves 2 / This combo knocks out all five food-color categories in one shot: green (celery) for phytochemicals such as lutein; red (beets) for phytochemicals such as lycopene; orange (carrots) for antioxidants, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids; white (eggplant) for phytochemicals such as allicin; and blue or purple (eggplant skin) for antioxidants such as anthocyanins and phenolics. Substitute two-thirds of a head of purple cabbage for the eggplant if you want a less spicy juice.

4 small whole carrots, washed
5 small beets, scrubbed
1 largish eggplant, washed
1 1-inch piece ginger
2 smallish stalks celery, washed

  1. Trim and peel as you wishโ€”or leave all vegetables as they are. Add to juicer and process. Use high setting if available.

Re: Veggie juices

I drink the second one....its very much so edible....but go easy on the carrots....since they shoot up the insulin level

Re: Veggie juices

I also used to make the 2nd one.
But now I just throw everything in the blender
with orange juice.

Re: Veggie juices

is the ginger bearable??

Re: Veggie juices

I love orange, carrot, and ginger combo. It is best!!!!

Re: Veggie juices

Actually I didn't always use ginger.
How do you like it?

Re: Veggie juices

sajal i've never really made my own veggie juice ever. I've tried boathouse farms green juice and its really sweet. but i was wondering how ginger would taste in a juice.
im gonna try the apple/orange/carrot/ginger one....

Re: Veggie juices

^oh and how about lime/lemon?
And don't throw it in the juicer,
instead
squeeze a few drops in your glass after you have juiced
rest of the ingredients.

Re: Veggie juices

Re: Veggie juices
