Veggie Juicing

I have always wanted to make veggie juice....but never had a juicer to do so...luckily I am silly and thanks to fellow blogger Sayward at Bonzai Aphrodite I now know that I do not need one!! woo!!

Here is my version of her tutorial

mmmm...fresh veggies....I used leftover Kale, cucumber, carrot, and an orange



Throw them all in the food processor with some water (I added some orange juice also)



and take them for a spin ;)



dump it all in cheese cloth (or like material) over a big bowl



and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! (just when you think you have gotten all the juice, squeeze some more!)



pour in to a glass (a funnel is helpful, but I don't have one...so I lost a bit in the pour :( )

and omg....YUM! and ZING!



be sure to save the pulp (I am going to add it to our sunday muffins this week)



and LOOK, even big kids like it :D



in fact he liked it so much that he was in much distress when I told him I drank the rest - so we made do with a quick version with strawberries...



I feel great, kiddo loves it.....I think I'm convinced!
