Burnt Orange Longhorn



(This yeilded about 35 ounces of juice for me)

1 grapefruit
6 oz of raspberries
2 Granny Smith apples
3 sticks of celery
1/2 cucumber
5-6 large carrots
1 lime

This juice was absolutely delicious! I couldn't taste the raspberry at all so next time I'll either use more or cut them out and use them in another berry based juice. Great juice for everyone, beginners AND kids!

Orange Energizer

This drink tastes like orange juice to me but there is no orange in it. Delicious and the carrots give me a lot of energy. I will certainly be adding this juice to my favorites.






2 carrots
1 stick of celery
1/2 Braeburn apple
1 grapefruit
1/2 lime (peel left on)
Chunk of ginger

Sweet Potato, Carrot, Citrus!

Ummm...maybe I'm just hungry....but I doubt it! This one is good.




1 pound of carrots
1 medium grapefruit
1 medium sweet potato
1 tangelo
1 lemon, peeled

(This yielded about 32 ounces)
Next time I might add some ginger, but this is pretty close to perfect for me. This one is kid approved, too! I'm going to add this as a go-to drink.

Tangelos just so happened to be on sale at the grocery store this week. If you don't have access to tangelos or just want to replace them with something else, a tangerine or orange would do just fine.

Kickin Carrot Juice

Simple.
Delicious.
Healthy.



2 large carrots
1 large naval orange
1/2 lime (peeled)
Slice ginger

I will make this one again. Maybe even add some celery.

Why carrots?
-improved vision
-anti-aging
The high level of beta-carotene acts as an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism. It help slows down the aging of cells.
-healthy glowing skin
Vitamin A prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.
-prevents heart disease
Studies show that diets high in carotenoids are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
-prevents stroke
A Harvard University study showed that people who ate more than six carrots a week are less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate only one carrot a month or less.

Did you know? There are more than 100 different species of carrot.
