When Life Gives You Lemons

Choosing the Perfect (or Close Enough) Fruit When deciding what fruits you want to juice, start by considering whether you want the juice to actually taste delish or like it’s something that’s marketed as healthy but actually tastes nasty. Since you’ll be using mostly fruits, it’s pretty easy to do both if you pick a good mixture.

For this specific blend we will be using mouth-puckering lemons, spicy ginger, healthy (but yummy) carrots as well as sweet pears and apples. These fruits ‘pear’ nicely and will be the perfect sweetness for a morning sip. STEP 1

Chop it Up This step is pretty straightforward. You will want to chop up all of your ingredients as if this is a game of Fruit Ninja (throwback to middle school). STEP 2

Juice Like There’s No Tomorrow (It’s a Pandemic,

You Can’t Be Too Sure) Now it’s time for the fun part of this recipe, if you can even call it that. Throw all of your chopped ingredients into your juicer and watch the magic happen. Some like it chunky while others like it ultra smooth. Did you forget we were talking about juice?

It’s up to you how thick you want the juice but make sure not to add any water; this can dilute the taste and you shouldn’t be trying to make the store bought kind — it won’t work with this recipe. STEP 3

Chug Your Juice Don’t actually chug it because you need time to savor all of the hard work you’ve just put into making only one of the eight or nine drinks you will have today. But wasn’t that fun? STEP 4
