Sunshine In A Glass

Yes, I’m still crazy about my juicer, much to my husband’s surprise. Part of it’s due to the exquisite difference between freshly made orange juice and that bitter stuff which comes from the store. It’s just such a pleasant way to start the day… until you run out of oranges, as I did this morning.

My juicer, incidentally, is why I may be the only person alive who is actually hoping to get a “Fruit of the Month” Christmas gift this year. (My husband’s sticking with his request for Super Bowl tickets. I’m thinking we’re both out of luck.)

Anyway, this morning I whipped up a new juice recipe, and I think it’s a winner. This one even passed my son’s taste tests, which is not an easy thing to do. Since it’s bright orange, my little guy dubbed it “Sunshine in a Glass”. Works for me!

Sunshine in a Glass

    Thank you for the recipe–I’m definitely going to try it.
    Have you figured out an easier way to clean your juicer? It’s a pain in the neck!! :)

    I stick one of those plastic bags from the grocery store into the pulp catching bin. All it takes to clean that part is lifting and throwing out the bag.

    I bought a plastic scrubbing brush to get the pulp out of the steel mill, too. Now, as soon as I’m done, I rinse the screen thingie, give it a good brushing, then toss it in a bowl of warm water to soak while we have our juice. After a quick swish it’s usually pulp-free and ready for the next round.

    But, yes, it really IS a pain having to remember to do that right away… just when I want to be having my juice!
