Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade

 


Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade


Ingredients:
8 cups cubed and seeded watermelon
1 cup strawberries, halved
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup white sugar/stevia
2 cups water
(you may substitute Sprite or 7-up instead of water)
Combine all the ingredients and blend until it is smooth (you may have to do it in 2 batches!) A fun trick is to cube the watermelon and freeze it ahead of time. Then you have a tiny bit of a slushy feel -

A simple recipe for making juice without a juicer. Plenty of health benefits and a delicious flavor come from carrots, apple, beets and ginger.

Author: Minimalist Baker

Recipe type: Juice

Cuisine: Vegan, Gluten Free

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 beet, rinsed, lightly peeled and quartered
• 1 apple, lighted peeled, cored and quartered
• 1 Tbsp size piece of fresh ginger (skin removed)
• 3 whole carrots, rinsed and peeled
• unfiltered apple juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, adding a splash of apple juice if needed to get it moving. I probably added about 1/4 cup.
2. Then, place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the juice over. Use a rubber spatula to press the pulp down and squeeze all of the juice out. Let stand for 5 minutes so you get most of the juice.
3. Discard pulp and pour your juice into a serving glass. Drink immediately or chill for a bit. Will keep in the fridge for a day or so, but will taste best when fresh.

Green Smoothie

http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/in-the-reboot-kitchen-get-your-greens-smoothie/

Posted by Jamie Schneider on June 12th, 2013

Bring on the green! I normally start my day with a big green juice — my favorite is the Morning Green Glory – but sometimes I change it up and decide to place everything I typically throw into a juicer into my blender*. And it is just as delicious! If you’re on a juice only Reboot, then you want to stick with just juice, but if you’re eating on your Reboot too, this is an excellent smoothie to enjoy. But even not on a Reboot, it’s one of my favorite smoothies to drink.

What I love about this smoothie, is it makes 64 ounces at one time (half the recipe if you don’t want that much!). I drink 16 oz./500 ml  in the morning, I bring another 16 oz./500 ml for an afternoon snack and then I store the rest in a mason jar to have the next day. It keeps well for a full two days so don’t be afraid to make a lot!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 64 oz./2 L (4 servings)

Serving Size: 16 oz./ 500 ml

Ingredients:6 leaves of kale (Tuscan cabbage)
5 leaves of romaine lettuce (cos)
1 cucumber
2 celery stalks
2 apples, cored
1 frozen banana*
2 cups/16 oz./500 ml water
Ice cubes
2 dates, pitted (optional if you want a sweeter smoothie*

*Note: I would never put a banana or dates in my juicer, but they are perfect to add with other fruits and veggies in your blender!

Directions:1.) Cut cucumber and celery in half, or even fourths, depending on the power of your blender, and core apples.

2.) Add water, kale and romaine to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until greens are mixed well with the water.

3.) Add the remaining ingredients, including a handful of ice, into the blender and blend at least 60 – 90 seconds, until all fruits and veggies are mixed well and form a smooth consistency.

Posted by Stacy Kennedy, MPH, RD, CSO, LDN; Reboot Nutritionist on June 11th, 2013

We love to celebrate Father’s Day with a big family brunch.  My husband and my father both love orange juice and I’ve made it my mission to switch them over to fresh squeezed only and off the heated, processed, sugar laden bottled variety at most grocery stores.

Orange juice is a great base for making a variety of juices.  I added some green lettuce and anti-inflammatory compound rich pineapple, turmeric and ginger with some metabolism boosting lime for a tasty, tart juice that’s sure to make the special dad in your life feel great.  Whether it’s to help boost his golf game, his next 5k run, or just simply move with less aches and pains, serving up a nutrient dense juice for Father’s Day is a wonderful way to show you care.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Yield: 1

Serving Size: 16 oz. (500 mls)

Ingredients:2 small oranges
2 handfuls chopped pineapple
1 inch ginger root
3 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce

Enjoy!

Ball Mason Jar Beverage Holder With Lid

Materials Needed:

Mason jar lid

Seal or Grommet

Drill and 3/8" drill bit

Wire cutter

How to do it:

1. Keep the lid on the mason jar, use the drill bit to drill a hole wherever you want.

2. You'll most likely have rough edges, so use the wire cutters to snip off any edges sticking out and try to make the hole as flat as possible.

3. Press, pinch and push the seal into the hole, carefully.
