Carrot Juice

I should note that my kitchen skills are pretty much limited to coming up with a, more or less, soft-boiled egg.

Keeping that in mind, my sister and I juiced a large quantity of carrots today. Whew! We juiced enough for 3 days, the maximum suggested best before date given the machine we are using. (More on types of juicers in another posting.)

By the time we washed the carrots, diced, juiced and stored them, washed up the machine and cleaned up the mess, I was ready for a nap. Thankfully, some rejuvenating carrot juice showed up to keep me going!

It´s still early on in the process, so we were short on the suggested 80% greens. In addition, the carrots were unfortunately a tad on the bitter side. Adding apples certainly helped, but it was still a bitter cup to swallow. Hopefully, the next batch will be more palatable.

The next juicing session is 3 days away. I´ll drink to that!
