Green juice is the stuff of life! I love the way that each and every sip makes me feel alive and gives me that extra oompf for the day. Just think about how much awesome nutrition you're giving your body with fresh organic green juice - vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and good ol' magic love. Hhmmmm... that's the stuff of life!
I love making a big batch of green juice for the day - which can be done with the
Hurom, in my opinion, because it's a slow juicer. This means that it oxidizes at a slower rate than it would with a juicer like the
Breville (don't get me wrong though, I like my Breville... but that's for juice you make and drink within 15 minutes of making it for the most nutrition). With the Hurom, I can make 2 quarts of juice (or more) so I can drink some and store some for the day. My juice here had loads of fresh-n-simple organic ingredients: cucumbers, celery, and grape tomatoes. That's it --> SOOOO good.

Hi Kristen! When I make alot of green juice and save it for alter in the day it starts to get darker and it does not taste as good. I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I fill the jar to the top also.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling great!
Hhmmmm That has never happened to me. It stays bright green and tastes amazing! This might be a stretch, but do you use all organic produce?
ReplyDeleteYeah for juicing. Todays juice is bright purple from the beet. Beet juice is delicious.
ReplyDeleteYUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat jar is so cute! I've been looking for convenient containers to carry my green juice. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteOrganic Avenue in New York
ReplyDeleteah, i love that sap green color~!
ReplyDeleteI love that bottle you are using. I am always eyeing your kitchen equipment with envy! Love you SS
ReplyDeleteHey there Kristen! Okay, so even though we're doing a home birth, I really wanted to know the gender of our baby - so our ultrasound was today... and it is a BOY! We're stoked. :) Now, have you thought about if your baby is a boy, when/if will you circumcise him? I guess we're looking at like a day or two after birth? Have u heard anything?
ReplyDeleteBTW, we're still limping along on our Jack LaLanne juicer - ha! It works. :)

Hi Emelia,
ReplyDeleteCongrats! If we have a boy... HELL NO we won't circ!!! If my son decides he wants it at a later date, that is up to him and we'd totally honor it. But I wouldn't dream of doing that to my baby. I think it's up to him when the time is right. As you can see I'm kind of passionate about it. ;)
cheers,
Kristen
Re: Raw Sierra's comment on the juice going dark... this is a sign of oxidation. If you include some lemon or other juice that contains vitamin "C" it will prevent this. I've also added ascorbic acid powder to my juice when I've not had lemon on hand and it worked flawlessly at preserving the vibrant color of the fresh juice... this demonstrates the wonderful antioxidant qualities of "C".
ReplyDeleteI also use lemon or ascorbic acid when making carrot salad... it keeps the salad bright orange.
Cheers,
