Life Juice

Say hello to good health & fewer trips to the doctors office.

 If you can manage to eat all of that on a daily bases and squeeze in your macronutrients...my hat is off to you. That being said, juicing will provide a much higher absorption rate & significantly less degradation of nutrients in your stomach.

 The Norwalk Juicer is ideal, you get what you pay for. The quality and efficiency will pay for itself in time. Not having the best juicer in the world is not an excuse! Get the best that you can from what you've got.

 Black kale, red chard & a half a carrot seems like a lot to put through at once but the key to gettin your leafy greens through a juicer is the ratio. I find that by wrapping my carrots, cucumbers & fruits with my leafy greens does a much better job. When producing juices with a high leafy green ratio I brake it up into phases, cleaning out the build up before my motor begins to overheat. A minute or two of effort will save you hours.

Air seal & refrigerate, anything your not drinking on the spot, immediately. Oxidation is your micronutrients worst enemy.  

What should you expect from:
7 celery stalks
7 large carrots
2 tomatoes
5 yellow chard stalks
11 red chard stalks
2 yellow beats (sweeter than red beats)
1 bundle black kale (the best SUPER FOOD that I hate to eat)
1 1/2 bundle spinach
1 bundle parsley
2 Japanese broccoli
7 cucumbers
5 green squash
10 strawberries & 1 bundle of cilantro?

96 ounces! also known as 12 cups or 3 quarts.

What does this cost to produce?

$27.50! at your Agoura Farmer's Market, open Sunday mornings (get there before 1). You can find it in the parking lot by Agoura Deli, on Kanan.

Contender (if you can call it that): NAKED JUICE "GREEN MACHINE"

To put this in perspective NAKED JUICE would cost you $25-$30 bucks (depending on the container sizes & store) for that same 96 ounces. Avoid the illusion & save us the wasted plastic while your at it.
Replace that "hint of pineapple" with half a pineapple(personally i eat the other half on the spot), toss in a bushel of green apples & as many oranges as your heart desires...then you've got somethin worth spending your hard earned cash on.

Personally I love a good pasture raised piece of meat or freshly caught side of fish, but that doesn't stop me from going a step further and getting superior amino acids from that same juice that is providing my micronutrients...
