JOTD - Sweet Orange Apple

Before you say anything...hear me out.  I would ever, ever, ever eat or drink anything that made my tastebuds retreat in fear.  I like food.  Good food.  Cakes, pies, cookies...all my favorites.  I have a firm belief that food that is good for you should TASTE good too. If it doesn't, I'm not going to eat it...so there really is no point in trying.  Eating healthy should be fun, not a punishment.

There I've said my peace.

So today's Juice of the Day - is:

1 medium Sweet Potato 

2 clementine oranges (I used Cuties)

1 Gala Apple

1/2 drop doTERRA ginger.

And of course I used doTERRA Ginger essential oil because, well - the grocery store was out of Ginger...and secondly, WHY NOT?

To add the ginger, I put applied 1/2 drop to my finger and rubbed it onto the sweet potato before juicing. This way the oil did not sit on top of the juice, and blended in nicely with the other flavors.

I did not peel, slice, dice, or chop any ingredients.  Make sure your juicer can handle such laziness before you go ahead and us it without peeling or chopping.  Mine can.  In fact, it was the number one selling point.  The biggest difficulty with this recipe was finding a glass I could photograph that didn't have a picture of a cartoon character on it, or was a bright shade of "Walmart" plastic.  Look, you know I have kids...we aren't going to all pretend that any of our houses look like Martha Stewart magazine...right?  Right.
