Monday's Juice

So I haven't been completely following the recipes I printed offline.
I've actually been having a lot of fun just being creative and throwing things together!

I have 1 apple and 1 carrot with each juice, and then throw different veggies in. I want to make sure that I get my daily apple in! Plus it and the carrot are very sweet, which knocks out any odd flavors from the veggies. I've found a new love for cucumbers as well thanks to juicing.

With our baskets we got these Oro Blancos, which is a type of grapefruit.

I hate grapefruit.

And oro's are even more bitter than a ruby red.

But I have, since I was a child, always heard that there's something about grapefruit that is so crazy healthy for you and benefits weight loss.
Now, I cannot eat a grapefruit. There's just not enough sugar in the world for me. And by the time I even TRY to add enough sugar, then what's the point of eating the fruit in the first place?

I was thinking that I would try to add them to my juice, thinking maybe the veggies and other fruits will negate the flavor of the grapefruit.

So this is what I came up with:


Monday's Juice

1 clove garlic
1 thumb ginger
1 Oro Blanco
1 apple
3 romaine lettuce leaves
1 handful spinach
1 beet
1 cucumber
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
5 grape tomatoes

Now, I knew it would happen.

I knew that it would eventually happen.

This juice

This juice right here.

Was DISGUSTING.

I tried SO hard to add enough produce to mask that awful grapefruit bitterness.

And it didn't help.

It SO didn't help.

I couldn't drink it.

I gave it to the dogs.

And I've sworn off grapefruit.

Forever.
