Juice - "The Joker"

1 head romaine
1/4 head red cabbage
1 tray wheatgrass
7 granny smith apples

Made 4+ cups

I call this The Joker because everything was purple and green. The juice turned out a deep reddish color...kind of like cherry coke. This was very green tasting but in a good way.

Juice - "Violet Brock"

1/4 head red cabbage

2 heads broccoli

1 tray wheatgrass

7 pears

Made 4 cups

Whenever I juice broccoli I get a lot of foam. Juice foam doesn't bother me nearly as much as smoothie foam because it's lighter and mixes in relatively easy.

It's kind of surprising that the little bit of red cabbage made the juice a purplish color. This was a thick juice but very tasty.

Juice - "Bloody Grass"

1 small beet
1 tray wheatgrass
1 bunch red kale
5 fuji apples
1 granny smith apple

Made 4 cups

I'm not personally a huge fan of beets but my husband loves them so I make sure I add them to my juice recipes from time to time. If you're not careful, they can add an overwhelming earthy taste. For some reason, my husband doesn't notice the earthy taste (or likes it) but just the sweetness that is inherent with root vegetables. I do love the intense red/pink color of the juice though. They will turn almost any juice red, even if you have a lot of greens in it.

This juice wasn't too earthy for my taste because the sweetness of the apples and red kale, and the green flavor of the red kale and wheatgrass helped cover it up. So both my husband and I were happy with this concoction.

Juice - "Apples on the Lawn"

~7 leaves curly kale
1 granny smith apple
3 small fuji apples
1 tray wheat grass

made 3+ servings

You can't really see the wheat grass in the picture but it's there! I cut it up so it exits the juicer easier. Cutting it also prevents the grass from getting tangled around the auger.

This was a very crisp, green tasting apple juice. Would be perfect after spending a hot day outside.

Juice - "Green 'n Orange"

1 tray wheat grass

8 oz baby carrots

4 braeburn apples

Simple, nutritious, and good. You can't see it from the picture very well but the color of the juice is very complex--green and orange at the same time.

Juice - "Grassy Apples"

4 small braeburn apples

1 tray wheatgrass

Made 2 servings

This was pleasantly sweet--not too grassy.

I learned something from making this simple juice: I should cut up the grass before putting it in my juicer so it doesn't clog up the exit chute.  I had to stop it halfway through to clear it out and probably should have stopped it again. That's the trade-off with a vertical single auger type of juicer--it will juice fruit, veg, and greens (including wheatgrass), but you'll have to cut up those greens/stringy vegetables to keep the chute clog free.
