Turning Over a New Turnip Leaf

Well, now that I have bought two pounds of turnip greens, I'll be drinking a lot of "powerful" juice.  Today I used red cabbage with my turnip greens.  The cabbage juice is a rich red-violet color, but once I added all other ingredients, my juice was chocolate brown.

NOT Chocolate:
2 cups turnip greens
1 cup red cabbage
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1 orange
1 apple
Have you had your Not Chocolate today?

Tasty Sludge

It really doesn't look appealing. It is after all, a combination that you would never eat in the whole form.  Seriously, broccoli juice?  But I tell you, this is the ugly duckling of juices. 

Cocoon, then flap flap flap. Butterfly:
1 1/2 c spinach
1 large carrot
3/4 c. broccoli
1 cucumber
1/3 pineapple
1 apple

Kitchen Sink Juice

When my brother made a homebrew years back that he called "Kitchen Sink Brew", it was really very delicious.  Adding all the small remains of ingredients from an assortment of brew mixes worked fine for beer...but it does not necessarily work for juicing.

I think I waited too long to juice today.  I was too "blah" to even think about a good medley.  Mindlessly throwing in a wide variety of veggies today gave us a juice the color of mud.  In defense of the bland blend I have to say that it did completely revitalize me, besides my husband says he didn't mind the taste at all.

Casting Too Wide a Net:
2 c. raw spinach
5 small carrots
2 celery stalks
2 radishes
1 tomato
1/2 c. fresh parsley
1 apple
2 pears
