Spritzer Recipe

First we need to talk about juicers. I was thinking about buying one... Not like a vitamix or anything hard core. Just something basic. I was telling my mother in law about this desired purchase, but that I was nervous I wouldn't really use it. She told me my father in law had one, brand new in the box, that I could borrow. That way I could see if I would actually use it.

Here it is! Instructional cassette tape and all!

Just in case you don't beleive me...

It works fairly well. Sufficient for my minimal needs. And I am very appreciative for them lending it to me. It's just been awhile since I've seen a "tape".

We juice carrots and oranges together. (4 carrots to 1 orange is our ratio) My girls favorite so far. We blend it with frozen strawberries for smoothies and have also made popsicles with it.

But MY favorite so far is my fresh juiced spritzer. I just decided to juice some things I had on hand and then ended up adding some sprite to top it off.

In your juicer, juice:

• 1 gala apple
• 1/2 of a lime (no peel)
• 6 strawberries

 

I then chopped up a few frozen strawberries. No need to dirty your blender, just hack at them with a knife. A few ice cubes, and then filled the rest of my glass with ice cold sprite. (It wasn't much, probably like 1/2 - 3/4 cup)

Put in a bendy straw, and you're golden. And yes, you must use a mason jar. Everything is more fun in a mason jar.

 Enjoy!
