Juicing Liquid Sunshine

The easy way to lose weight through juicing

Recipes

Apple, Ginger, Kale, Lemon & Turmeric Juice

By

I had some Kale I had to use up as it doesn’t last very long before it goes yellow so I came up with this combination.

As per usual with the Ginger and Turmeric, just adjust to your taste and same with the Lemon regarding skin on, skin off. If homegrown, I leave the skin on.

Kale I like to feed through with slices of Apple as I find it doesn’t get caught so much around the ‘juicing screw’ on my slow juicer.

I prefer to remove the leaves from the stalk as the stalk can taste bitter so I do this just by holding the stalk and pulling the leaves backwards. Comes off ‘easy peasy’. The stalks can be used in smoothies or in soups so as not to waste them.

I used:

  • 2 large Apples
  • chunk Ginger
  • 3 stalks Kale
  • 1 small Lemon
  • chunk Turmeric

 

Depending on your juicer, you may need to cut up the Apples to feed through the chute.

Yields about 300mls

 

 

Apples, Carrots, Fennel, Ginger, Lemon & Turmeric Juice

By

Another great combination that comes out such a beautiful, vibrant orange colour.

Contrary to what I first believed about Turmeric NOT staining your juicer, I was wrong…it does!!!

Turmeric does have an acquired taste so you may like to start off with a small chunk.

I have been fortunate enough to have an abundance of home grown lemons so have been leaving the skin on but it’s up to you…skin on or skin off. You can try either way and see what you prefer.

I used:

  • 2 Apples
  • 3 medium Carrots
  • slice of Fennel (your choice for quantity)
  • Chunk of Ginger (your choice for quantity)
  • 1 small Lemon
  • Chunk of Turmeric

Depending on your juicer, you may need to cut up the Apples and Carrots to feed them through the chute.

Juice and enjoy.

Yield: approximately 200mls.

Ginger, Apples & Fennel Juice

By

 

Ginger, Apples and Fennel I have found to be quite a tasty combination.

Just play around with the amounts for what works for you as you may like less Fennel and more Ginger or the other way around.

If you aren’t used to using Ginger or Fennel, you can start off small and work your way up to larger amounts.

Although I have only two Apples in the photo, I did use three and definitely didn’t use this much Ginger. I do like Ginger but this amount would’ve blown my head off!!!

I used:

  • Chunk of Ginger
  • 3 Medium Apples
  • 1 Slice of Fennel (to your taste)

The yield for this was just over 200mls

You may need to slice up the Apples depending on your juicer.

 

Breakfast Fun

Breakfast Fun with yoghurtBreakfast Fun

How often have you heard, ‘Don’t play with your food’!!!

Well, in this case, I really enjoyed ‘playing with my fruit’ to create my delish breakfast plate.

A selection of: bananas, kiwi fruit, oranges, apple and a dollop of coconut yoghurt with a sprinkle of LSA mix (Linseed, Sunflower, Almond) on top.

Recipes coming soon….

Just letting you know that there will be recipes coming soon.

I know when I first began juicing that I wanted to know the quantities of the produce going into the juicer so I have just been putting this together for you.

Also there will be some easy stir fry ideas that I’ve had a bit of fun creating in the kitchen. Simple but easy and tasty.

Some salad ideas so as not to get bored with lettuce leaves (rabbit food as it gets called), and dressings you can make yourselves.

What to eat when staying with friends…

Salad Juicing Liquid SunshineMmmm, so what did I eat?

Well, other than my juices and smoothies which now had the interest of everyone else in the house, I was making heaps more than usual hence having to buy a bit more produce.

Getting back to what I actually ate…just much smaller portions than everyone else really.

I helped in the kitchen making vibrant salads with the centrepiece being a flower made from a tomato….Impressive!!!

One night we had kebabs so that was easy with a bit of meat and plenty of salads.

It’s not about what you can’t eat as there are many things that you can eat…only if you want to.

Whilst juicing, my tastebuds changed and so did my choices in food.

For me, I actually found it harder to start eating food again than to juice.
