COMPLIMENTARY COLORS

INGREDIENTS:

1 PLASTIC THING OF BLUEBERRIES
2 ORANGES

WHOA! Ok, so I've had orange juice before, and I think most people have, and I have always considered it bad flavored and riddled with chemicals. Pasteurization totally kills anything healthy in juice, and then chemicals are added into juice to replace the nutrients that once were there, making it taste like garbage. If you drink as much juice as I do, its easy to taste. Thats why even the health drinks try to do as little pastuerization as possible, such as flash pasteurization, in hopes to keep juice tasting like juice while still satisfiying the corporate government. BUT LO! I have learned that oranges are an awesome fruit by juicing them myself! I will never hold archaic government actions against a fruit again!

What better way to celebrate this color fruit than with its complimentary? Oranges and blues! These colors and flavors are natural buddies! They already hang out all the time and are awesome friends, this is the logical next step! Its so wonderful, its almost impossible to be aware enough of the situation to even name it. Complimentary colors together as one!

SUPER POSITIVE

I have been searching for the right combo to go with peaches, and I FINALLY found something that works!

INGREDIENTS:

2 PEACHES (PITTED)
1 WHOLE PLASTIC THING OF BLUEBERRIES






Peaches are so sensitive and quiet! Every time I tried to mix them into a party they would just sulk in the corner and go unnoticed. And I know they arent losers! When its just me and peaches, we have the best time hanging out in the sun. They just need a quieter party, and I finally found a match: blueberries! I love hanging out with blueberries, they are filled with super positive B vitamins that always make me feel good. (I am biased towards vitamins that share letters in my name and also turn your pee neon yellow!) When placed together, the super positive blueberries bring out the party in the peaches!

Thanks to Susan for the suggestion!

NUCLEAR COOLANT!

OK THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND!

INGREDIENTS:
1 CUCUMBER
1/2 PINEAPPLE (SKINNED)










THIS IS SUPER COOL! I had half a pineapple left over and decided to add a different ingredient to it than yesterday. A thought passed through my brain, why not chill out the spikey pineapple flavor with its opposite, a cool cucumber? This seems so obvious in retrospect, but they are totally different! Who would expect a thin, slick and green vegetable to hang out with a big, spikey, yellow fruit! Its like a tiny dog and a big cat being best friends! ABSURD! But yet, when placed together, who could ever imagine otherwise?! The perfect pair! Just as opposites make a great cartoon, so also a fantastic juice!

PINEAPPLE RAG!

I was listening to one of my favorite musical compositions, "Pineapple Rag" by Scott Joplin, and realized how disgusting it would be to name a drink "Pineapple Rag"!

INGREDIENTS:

2 KIWIS (SKINNED)
1/2 PINEAPPLE (SKINNED)





Now, rather than just post a recipe for pineapple juice, which any turkey could figure out, I decided to add some kiwi to my tropical paradise to make it a proper recipe! The punky kiwis are the perfect band mates for the spiky pineapple, they all play the same style. I have been trying to properly juice kiwis for a while, and the secret I just learned is that you have to skin kiwis before juicing them! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

BLOOD!

To celebrate a heart holiday, I decided to try a food Ive never ventured into before : BEETS! I was terrified of them, they look like rocks that bleed when you cut them! But FEAR IS THE MINDKILLER!

INGREDIENTS:
3 SMALL BEETS
1 BLOOD ORANGE
1 APPLE



Since I was so scared of beets, I decided to add a BLOOD ORANGE! This is also a scary food, because oranges should have orange juice, but the blood oranges drink other fruits blood so they have red juice! I juiced this at a party last week and it still tastes like an orange even though its a vampire! It makes sense to throw a vampire blood orange with the beets who are full of blood. Now its like a horror movie! The beets were less scary because they were being slain by the vampire orange. I added an apple because I wasnt sure how much juice I would need. Maybe the apple is the hero of the juice story who slays the vampire orange! After repeating FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER I gave it a taste, and it was good! Beets aren't scary at all!

Big thanks to Jennifer who gave me the blood orange since I don't know where to buy them yet!

DAZZLER!

SNAP! Celery is my new ingredient of the week! I've heard it told that celery has no nutritional value, or that it takes more energy to digest it than its worth. Well that sounds like a bunch of rumors coming from jealous fruits and vegetables to me! I bet celery doesnt care what other fruits and vegetables think, it just does its thing!

INGREDIENTS:

2 PEARS
2 STALKS OF CELERY
1 INCH CUBE OF GINGER

I ran out of carrots early this week munching on them while watching DARKON! and needed something to go with my pear juice! Celery was up to the challege! The pear has such a classy taste, but classy can be uptight, and I like to party! The celery adds a little snap! Its amazing how celery juice still tastes like your snapping into it! So now if the pear is all classed up to go to the ball, the celery is the fancy outfit that dazzles everyone inside!
