Wanted to try something a little new with respect to the juicing vessel - how about a really wide bowl, to get the color gradients to really pop prior to consumption. Checkout the vibrant colors and yes it tasted like a power packed flavor rainbow.
Whipped up a tasty combo of fruits and veggies. Once you get a handful of fruit and veggies that appear ripe to almost over-ripe, bust out that juicer and get to work. The strawberries were on their last day and it gave us an opportunity to use the stem pulling tool, i can't recommend it enough. This mix was a little heavy on the fruit, but a Vitamin C and flavor boost in the middle of a very soggy East Coast March, does a body good.

The pulp layering on the juicer top was too cool not to get a picture. Cucumber, Celery, Pear, Watermelon, Carrot, Apple, Mango, Blueberry - Yum!
You have walked by cartons of them in the grocery store, shrugged, and thought "I don't know how to cut that open, and it seems kind of tricky." Another group of people happily put them in their cart but don't really know how to clean a Mango properly. They often end up throwing away a good portion of the fruit unknowingly. Mango flesh is somewhat unique in that it really adheres to the wide falt central pit and must be "freed" or "pried away" with a sturdy spoon. Here is a 'How to' video that shows you how exactly to leave the Mango pit-less - using only a spoon and a sharp knife in under 2 minutes. If you are going to eat the Mango straight away, I like to squeeze a bit of lime on the top. It adds a complex dimension of sweet and sour that is unmatched. A little bit in a juice combination goes a long way in terms of vitamins per ounce and sweetening up a veggie centric drink. They are packed with anti-oxidants and are great for a post workout snack. Mango also has some unique anti viral properties which help with various ailments. This site has some more great Mango facts. Mango is also great for your complexion - try eating a few per week and see how you face looks in the mirror after a month. When choosing mango fruit, look for a larger one. Also pick up several and select one that is heavy for its size. I also like to get one that has a lot of deep reds and a tiny bit on the soft side. Then you can bring it home, let it sit for a day or two and it's the perfect ripeness. Waiting a week or more to eat your mango because it was unripe when you bought it is taste bud torture. |
