Juice - April 18th breakfast

Still feeling sketchy when I woke up I knew that making juice was the order of the day. I found a host of vegetables from my week's juicing that needed eaten, or drunk, soon. This juice is all about using up all the vegetables loosing their freshness in my fridge.

I wasn't overly concerned with the taste of the juice I was to make. Rather I wanted to make juice full of a variety of vegetable goodness and have a lot of juice to drink.

Ingredients:
1/8 cabbage
1/4 lettuce
1 cucumber
6 stalks spinach
1 lemon

Making juice with the above ingredients produced about a pint of juice. Some of this was the water that I had rinsed the lettuce and cabbage with for sure.

The taste was okay. Quite watery with a bit, but not too much, lemon tang.

Drinking juice to cure a hangover does, in my experience, work!

Juice - April 14th breakfast

For breakfast this morning I wanted to get through some of the green vegetables that I bought over the weekend. Making juice from fresh vegetables is optimum and I think I slightly over bought on Saturday.

Ingredients:

6 stalks spinach
1/8 cabbage
1/4 lettuce
1 cucumber
1 stalk parsley
twist of lemon

This drink was similar to water in consistency and had a dark green colour. Taste-wise it wasn't bad but at the same time not great. As green juices go though it was easy to drink.

Juice - April 11th evening

I had a roll with rasins and cranberries and a vegetable juice drink for my dinner. Is it really enough calories? Not too sure. The juice I made was surprisingly nice considering the ingredients. It's the first time I've ever juiced cabbage!

Ingredients:

1/4 cabbage
1 cucumber
1/2 apple
1 stalk parsley

These ingredients produced a surprising amount of liquid. This may have been the result of water being retained by the cabbage when I rinsed it. The juice was sweet (apple) and had a bit of a tang (cabbage). I enjoyed drinking this juice and think it will be interesting to see what other juices I can make that include cabbage.

EDIT: It wasn't enough for dinner! I ended up having some chicken and eggs...
