“Orange” Juice

Well, a few weeks ago we had pink juice thanks to the toddler’s strawberries. Last week, we had a lot of “orange” juice. Not as in orange, the fruit, but as in orange the color. We made a lot of juice with carrots; therefore the orange color.


Our first “orange” juice included the following:

  • 2 heads of Romaine lettuce
  • 4 carrots
  • 2 apples
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 cucumber

The toddler loved it. I was very worried about him drinking a whole glass by himself as he insisted on holding the glass by himself. But, he did fine that day…

And he did fine when we had our next “orange” juice. This time we juiced the following:

  • 1 head of Romaine lettuce
  • 5 carrots
  • 2 apples
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 cucumber
  • About 25 over-ripe grapes

This was hubby’s favorite juice so far. The grapes gave it a nice sweetness…


And then we had the following to juice:

  • 1 head of Romaine lettuce
  • 5 red kale leaves
  • 2 lemons
  • 5 carrots
  • 1 cucumber

We juiced it, and the toddler had to have his glass right away. He loved his juice. He spilled some on his pj’s, which was fine. Then he spilled a bit on the floor. He drank about half of a big glass. Then he saw Daddy doing something in the kitchen, and he got all excited. The juice ended up EVERYWHERE…. No picture. Lesson learned: Supervise a toddler with his own glass of juice better….


Question: What’s your favorite juice (freshly made or bought)?


Be well,
