How to Make Simple Nutrient Rich Juice

After buying and using many different juicers I like this method the best.Clean up is easier,a big plus if you are busy person.Juice uses less food so less expensive and extracts more nutrients.Also more palatable because it is blended with water.A big plus is you can extract nutrients from products that you can't use in an ordinary juicer,like dates and raisans and herbs.This is a better way to juice !

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• A magic bullet blender.Fine screen hand strainer.Wide mouth pitcher with pour spout.

1. Start with the 16 ounce container on the magic bullet OR use a standard blender.I like the bullet because it minimizes the interaction of oxygen with the food like a standard juicer or blender thereby making a less oxidized juice !Fill the container a third full with ANY food you want to extract nutrients from.
2. Now put in just enough water to cover and blend into a puree.Then fill with as much water as juice you want and "WASH" the puree to free the nutrients.
3. Pour this into the hand strainer over the wide mouth pitcher.With a quick motion back and forth like turning a key in a lock,all of the juice will filter out.Now go in a circular motion to bring it into a "ball".
4. Make sure your hands are clean and "press" the ball to remove remaining juice.Throw pulp into compost bin and wash strainer and blender.Juice is ready and everything is clean!Much easier then any juicer. Easier to drink when you get into the really nutrient dense foods like parsley or beets.you also get more water this way which most people I know don't get enough of.

Tips & Warnings

• Ok,you can now use any basic juice as a base instead of water to make "blended nutritional drinks".I also add Celtic Sea Salt(course)to vegetable juices.You can extract nutrients from foods that juicers can't touch.Like Medjool Dates.Full of potassium for your heart.Herbs are hard in a regular juicer,but blended with water they are awesome !..I use chicken broth and different vegetables when I am in a hurry...I have fallen in love with this method and carry my stuff with me when I travel.Takes hardly no room but makes a big difference in the way you feel when on the road.You are only limited by your imagination about what you can make.Use green tea instead of water.Uses alot less foodstuffs.Carrot juice won't stain teeth when watered down.You will make juice more often because it is easier.Blend all kinds of foods to make stuff you won't taste anywhere else.Use the rinds of squash to get the best anti-oxidants you will find anywhere on the planet !..also blend whole lemons with water, sea salt and small amount of castille soap(Doc Bronners) to make a non-toxic soap that is awesome and good for your health..use different fruits like strawberries.the salt preserves the fruit and it lasts a long time without going bad !!..have fun experimenting...try one of EVERY food in the produce section.especially the organics !!
• Be sure to research any plants you are not sure of before ingesting.If using the entire product (rinds,seeds etc) be sure to wash or remove core if needed(apples)..Be sure to rinse everything thoroughly after every use..even if you are short on time..Be aware of any food allergies you might have...
