It’s that time again, Raw Wednesday is here and I hope that you’ve had a terrific one so far. I haven’t had a whole lot of time for elaborate raw dishes, so lately I’ve been resorting to juices and smoothies which are some of my favorite meals/drinks. Carrots are one of my favorite foods to juice, they’re packed with Vitamin A and have some sweetness to them that goes great with many fruits.
Ingredients:
- 2 Small Apples, Cored
- 2 Large Carrots, or 4 Stubby ones like pictured above
- 2 Cups Red Grapes
- 1 Nectarine, With Stone Removed
Directions:
- Put all ingredients through a juicer and stir together, pour over ice if you’d like your juice to be chilled.
This looks refreshing, awesome fruit combination!
What kind of juicer do you have? I’m looking into maybe getting one this weekend 🙂
I’ve tried a few different ones, but right now I have this Breville that I got for an AMAZING deal:

If you’re just getting into juicing, I’d recommend something more along these lines:

That’s the one I first had and I loved it, plus it’s great if you don’t have a lot of space. Good luck with you’re juicing! 🙂
Jackie,
I just discovered your blog and love all the info and recipies!!! I feel limited by the fact that I’ve never had the money to invest in a really good juicer (or blender). I was wondering if you might give me a more detailed review of the B&D juicer (as it is one i can afford)? The amazon review says it leaves a lot of pulp and is very hard to clean. Also, how much did you pay for the Breville juicer and why would you choose it over the B&D?
Yum! I’m in love with our juicer and always looking for new juice combos. Love how orange and festive this juice is, too. Very fall. 🙂
Right? I though it might mislead people having the pumpkin in the background, but it just matched so well! 😉
