What better way to make sure you get all your colorful fruits and vegetables than to drink them?! Just so I know I'm getting a well-rounded share of nutrients, I decided I'm going to have a different color juice every day of the week. I made all my juices for two weeks and put one week's store in the freezer. I've got green, yellow, orange, red, and purple, plus white (coconut milk) and a random mixture for day seven. Here's my beautiful rainbow:
Green Juice:
1/2 cucumber
1 apple
1 pear
1 handful spinach
1 handful carrot tops
Juice of 1 lime
Puree in blender on highest speed with enough water to blend. Strain through muslin cloth and add water to make 4 cups.
Yellow Juice:
1 mango
1/2 pineapple
Juice of 2 lemons
Puree in blender on highest speed with enough water to blend. Do not strain. Add water to make 4 cups.
Orange Juice:
2 carrots
1 mango

Red Juice:

10 strawberries
1/2 cup cranberry juice
