Farmers Market Juice – June

Interesting facts about this month’s Farmers Market “smoothie”:

1. It was meant to be a smoothie but, when I looked at the ingredients, I thought to myself “these would be awesome as a juice”.

2. This is surprising, as I’m not a big juice fan – generally I don’t like to make something if it’s going to take longer to clean the appliance than to consume the end product.

3. You could probably still turn this into a smoothie – you’d need to add at least a cup of liquid, and grate the beetroot. I haven’t tried it yet though, so don’t hold me responsible if it’s not great.

4. As I was pushing the ingredients through the blender, I decided it probably wasn’t such a good idea; it looked like it was going to taste bad.

5. I was wrong. It’s flippin’ delicious. I just drank all of it myself, as I’m the only one at home right now and I can be greedy like that.

6. When you’re making juice, pass the leftover pulp through the juicer a second time. It’s amazing how much more juice you get.

7. I have no idea what to do with all the leftover bright purple pulp, and I’m now seriously questioning my decision to sit down and write this post before I cleaned the juicer.

8. I don’t generally leave raspberries lying around all over the house – only when I’m taking photos for the blog.
