Syrup I made from wild violets found in my yard.

Violet Syrup:

Steep the petals in hot water with a bit of lemon juice to create a vivid purple syrup. It’s a showstopper for flavoring lemonade, cocktails, or drizzling over pancakes!

Early days packaging of one of my top juices to make.

Those early days back in 2017 brings back a lot of memories as that was when I started on my juicing venture. This particular mix was and still is one of my top favorites. 🥕 🫚 🍋

Low on iron?

Here is one of the best solutions:

– run 2 or 3 dark green kale leaves through a masticating juicer.
– to that add a teaspoon of ginger extract, honey or agave to sweeten to taste. (The taste of juiced kale can be pretty strong).

Enjoy.

Wheatgrass!

Wheatgrass - something you should add to your juices from time to time. It is often called “green blood” because it’s packed with chlorophyll (about 70% of its makeup) and has a nutrient profile so dense that some proponents claim 2 ounces of the juice is nutritionally equivalent to 5 pounds of raw vegetables.

Here is a breakdown of what that little green shot actually brings to the table:

-Detoxification
-Digestive Support
-Immune Boosting
-Natural Energy Lift
-Weight Management
-Anti-Inflammatory
-Blood Sugar Regulation

One caution: It has a very earthy taste. Many people mix it with juices to mask the “grassy” punch, but with its excellent benefits, the taste doesn’t matter much.

For The Love of Juicing!

More Fibre Needed?

With juicing you know that you lose most of the fiber in fruits and vegetables. There are some of us who would rather not have all that fibre in our juices, but fiber is very important for gut health as well.

On this particular day, I juiced some greens and had an orange, some pineapple and banana along with it. Doing it this way, I was getting my fiber in and this is something you could do on some days as well.

I personally know people with bowel issues that stay away from all things fibrous and juicing is one of the ways that helps them to cope with that. This way they still get the benefits of juicing without the fibrous material.
