Kitchen Sink Morning Juice

If getting more fruits and veggies into your diet is a goal of yours, consider dusting off that fancy juicer in your pantry, and try this non-recipe recipe. It just might become your go-to.


INGREDIENTS:


Depending on how much your juicer holds or what you have on-hand, you can vary the amounts of each of these ingredients. My typical juice includes: 2 large beets, about 4 carrots, 1 cucumber, 1 pear, 1 orange, about 2 inches of ginger root, 1 apple, and a handful of kale or spinach (or whatever greens you'd like). If I have other produce such as rutabaga or sometimes even a jalapeño, I toss that in, too. Really, it's about what you can keep in your fridge consistently!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add all ingredients (one at a time) to your juicer. Pour over ice and enjoy. Store the rest in the fridge for tomorrow.

DETAILS:
About 10 minutes of prep. Yields about 4 servings.
