Green Lemonade, Ginger Carrots Juice and Energy Soup!

Today I went to Dr. Jean, my dentist (Hi Jean!) for a cleaning and when I got home I hit the kitchen!

Tomorrow I pick up my monthly veggie co-op order, so I needed to make room in the fridge.

This is what I came up with..

Green Lemonade

6-7 cucumbers

4 bunches of celery

1 pound of Spinach from my CSA farmer

3 big pieces of ginger

1 c. lemon juice

3 granny smith apples

liquid stevia to taste

I used two juicers....my leafy greens went in my Green Power Juice and most of the chunky stuff went into my Jack LaLanne.

As you can see this made 1 gallon of green juice.

I immediately drank a  quart...mmmmmmmmm..

If you are unfamiliar with the Benefits of drinking green juices..check out this site.  "Why drink green juice."

 I am recommending this site for information about Greens only.  I am unfamiliar with the products they sale.

As always, I recommend that you do your own research.

After I finished making the green juice, I figured I should use up some of my carrots

 since the juicers were warmed up.

Ginger Carrot Juice

approximately 5-6 pounds of carrots

4-5 granny smith apples

big piece of ginger

This was just a little shy of one gallon.

When I finished juicing it was time for a mid-afternoon meal...hence my

Energy Soup

3 roma tomatoes

5 stalks of celery

big handful of gourmet lettuce mix

handful of baby carrots

sliced jalapeno's

2 heaping T. of tahini

1/4 c. lemon juice

1-2 T. Bragg's Liquid Amino's

little water to make it blend easily

I set my Vita-Mix on 3-4 and let it chop it to a soupy consistency.

I topped it with Dulse granules and had some of my Nacho Chipotle Chips on the side.
