MORDOR!

A fantastic new discovery! DARK AS THE CLOUDS OF MORDOR! This is the sort of drink a dark wizard would love!

INGREDIENTS:

1 PLASTIC THING OF BLACKBERRIES
1 HANDFUL OF SEEDLESS GRAPES





This was a complete impulse, since I passed by a store that had blackberries for sale for a mere dollar! I couldn't resist! I decided to try some grapes with it, since I've never juiced them before either, and I thought it would be funny to juice two bunches of many little things. I put them all together down the chute, and LO! THE BLACKBERRIES SWARMED OVER THE CLEAR GRAPE COLOR LIKE THE ARMIES OF MORDOR, LEAVING A BLACK LIQUID WHERE CRYSTAL PURITY REMAINED! The snappy blackberry flavor is complemented by the smooth grape taste, you get both flavors clashing for victory in your mouth!

STORMS OF SATURN

After a fierce battle with the juicer, I bring forth a new drink! The STORMS OF SATURN!

INGREDIENTS:
1 PITTED MANGO
1 PLASTIC THING OF BLUEBERRIES
1 WHOLE APPLE








So mangos are crazy, and love jumping around in the juicer, which was a surprise for me! Ive setup my juicer to pour into my glass at an angle because the glass is too tall to fit underneath, and if the juicer is bouncing around the glass inevitably moves! In a flurry of action, I emptied the plastic thing of blueberries! Which was also exciting, because the blueberries didnt all go in the shoot and made a mess on the floor. And still did not settle the storm! I quickly sliced an apple in two and threw it in, and apples have a ton of juice Ive learned. I have had an irrational fear of juicing apples because I read once on a conspiracy internet website that appleseeds have arsnic in them! So I expected this drink to kill me. But it was delicious!

After contemplating what to name it, I looked on my saturn poster, and it dawned on me how the storms of saturn are such ferocious beasts with the power of 400 earth storms but appear as wispy clouds on my cool poster, and how my delicious juice has wispy clouds between flavors which hide the mess I made in the kitchen. JUICE FRENZY!

SNAPPY SLIME II

Here is an extra post this week, since it isn't a new recipe, just a variation on an older one! This is still the snappy slime, but instead of using a lemon, I used a lime!

INGREDIENTS:

1 WHOLE CUCUMBER
1 LIME SLICED IN TWO HALVES
1 SQUARE INCH OF GINGER


Besides keeping with the green theme, this is a much better choice! Lime is a little brother to lemon, and provides just enough kick to spice up the cucumber without stealing the show. This is my new way to roll with SNAPPY SLIME!

REFRESHING!

This drink tastes great! This is my favorite breakfast drink right now, and breakfast is my favorite meal!

INGREDIENTS:

1 WHOLE PEAR
2 CARROTS
1 INCH CUBE OF GINGER






Two carrots that look like standard carrots will be just right to compliment the flavor of the delicious pear! Baby carrots don't have any juice, and a single huge carrot overpowers the pear and just tastes like carrot. Despite drinking boxed carrot juice everyday for a year and liking it, I realize now they totally add other juices to it, just carrot juice doesn't actually taste good. This pear/carrot combo is a real slammer, and the ginger gives it just a little zing! DELICIOUS!

SNAPPY SLIME

This is the first juice recipe Ive made that didn't taste like garbage juice! Someday I will post a garbage juice recipe! But for now let's talk about this beast:

1 CUCUMBER
1 LEMON
1 SQUARE INCH OF GINGER





Cucumbers have a ton of juice, which is awesome, but its kind of bland just drinking a cucumber. I added a whole lemon to it to give it some kick, but the kick was pretty strong. The cube of ginger mellows out the lemon kick while upping the detox power. Not bad! Although I can juice whole lemons, I've been cutting the lemons in half first so the juicer doesn't have to have a shaking battle with the rind. Ive been putting each half a lemon before the cucumber and half after to distribute the juice without shaking it up at the end.

JACK LALANNE POWER JUICER

This is the POWER JUICER that my parents gave me this year. My 2010 resolution is to juice everyday! This gift is quickly moving up my list of most awesome things my parents have given me outside of actual living life.

This journal is a record of my juicing recipes, a new recipe each week. Feel free to comment so that I can come up with new exciting ideas!


In case you want to try these recipes at home and they taste horrible, maybe its because you aren't using a Jack LaLanne POWER JUICER! Or maybe they just stink, and you should tell me how to make them better!

LET THE JUICING BEGIN!
