Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Greetings, I wish to thank everybody who replied to my juicing and pulp questions! Very helpful! Though I'm a newbie, I did feel inspired to experiment with juicing and had visited the local co-op yesterday with the following recipe in mind. I began with a concept of a phytonutrient drink based on the colors of the rainbow but, of course, didn't really know how well (or not!) the flavors of the various ingredients would harmonize. I couldn't predict the color or scent, either. But I tried it out today and the results were much better than I had anticipated though if I had known more about the combined flavors, I would have picked up some fresh ginger root, too, from the store and added it in. Rainbow Phytonutrient drink Red - 2 red beets Orange - 3 large carrots Yellow - one half teaspoon zest of lemon and squeeze of lemon Green - 3 large handfuls of fresh spinach Blue/Indigo - a small handful of blueberries Violet - One quarter of a purple cabbage I first juiced the blueberries and added the zest, next came the spinach, followed by the cabbage and beets, and finally, the carrots. The foamy juice was mauve in color until the addition of the carrots which turned the whole concoction into a pleasant light gingery-brown hue. Interestingly, I think that ginger root would have enhanced the combined flavors. I gave my own goblet an extra squeeze of lemon since I'm a lemonhead. The recipe yielded three large servings.
