Juice: Fall Loaf

I cannot even begin to tell you all how excited I am to share this recipe because growing up nothing ever went to waste. As you can imagine, wasting good juice-pulp can be torturous on me. Yes—it makes great compost, and one day in the near future, it’ll be awesome chicken feed, but there aren’t a lot of options out there for this organic goodness. I started racking my brain and combing through recipes that use a food processor, since a juicer’s pulp produces the same result. Plus, it’s economic and efficient: You save time in the kitchen, and get two meals for the price of one. Today on The Monday Menu, check out the juice that keeps on giving, and tune in next week for the Gluten-Free Turkey Loaf recipe that calls for the leftover pulp. Both recipes are sure to tantalize your taste buds!

Juice: Grapple Berry Mint

It isn’t a secret that grapefruit is chock-full of vitamin C, which can come in handy during cold and flu season, but this fleshy fruit also contains citric acid, natural sugars, and many essential oils.

So, juicing this super food is a smart thing to do, but remember that it’s important to leave as much of the albedo (the white part that clings to the fruit found under the peel) as possible because this is where the highest amount of bioflavonoids and other anti-cancer properties are located. Today’s juice recipe on The Monday Menu isn’t just refreshingly delicious; it’s a healthy antioxidant too.

Juice: Sour Pineapple

Nothing brings me back home to New Mexico and my summer job, lifeguarding at Wet ‘n’ Wild, than the great taste of Green Apple Jolly Ranchers.  I’d sit there for hours getting my candy fix with the feeling of the sun on my cheeks and the breeze on my warm skin.  That was summertime fun; I was young, and nothing was better than getting a tan and being paid for it.  Here’s to the summers of our youth.
