1/4/12 Grapefruit, Purple Cabbage

Ingredients: Two regular grapefruits, one small head of purple cabbage.

Consistency: Light, slightly pulpy

Taste: Sweet, full, tangy, slightly bitter, grassy.

Rating: 6/10

Closing notes:

I enjoyed drinking this, but the combination did not work together. Purple cabbage creates a really beautiful juice, the colors in this combination are ridiculously bright. The juice of a purple cabbage is very mild and faintly sweet, it almost has a "milky" texture and taste. Your body will recognize the nutritional value, the stuff goes down *really* nicely.

I scored this particular mixture low because it wound up tasting like diluted grapefruit juice. I am learning that the grapefruit is useful to mask less pronounced flavors. This can be good or bad, depending on your situation. I drank two doses of raw juice today because I am trying to fight off this cold. I have been WAITING to get a cold so that I could get the chance to test my hypothesis regarding the healing power of raw juice. Ill keep you nerds posted.

1/4/12 Spinach, Pineapple, Grapefruit

Ingredients: Four large handfuls of spinach, one small pineapple, one regular grapefruit.

Consistency: Moderately thick -- Id call it "just right"

Taste: It tasted like a sweet, diluted wheatgrass.

Rating: 9/10. Im giving this an almost perfect scored based upon how well the pineapple and grapefruit worked together.

Closing notes:  In addition to what you see in the picture, I had about 250ml of grapefruit/pineapple juice. It was *really* good. It was one of the most delicious juices I've ever created. Blending the sweetness of pineapple with the bitter tang of grapefruit was an astounding success. I feel a cold comming on so today I tried to get a lot of citrus into me. 

1/3/12 Carrot, Kale, Mint

Ingredients: Quite a few carrots, two bundles of kale, two large handfuls of mint

Consistency: Light and clean

Taste: Sweet, fresh, slight bitterness

Rating: 8/10.

Closing notes:  Anything with carrot as its base will always be delicious. I could not taste the Kale, but I went overboard with the mint. Mint creates a bitter black liquid, the flavor is overbearing and sickly -- but if you dilute it with something sweet the results are favorable. I enjoyed drinking this.

1/2/12 Tomato, Spinach, Orange

Ingredients: Two handfuls of spinach, five small Roma tomatoes, two medium oranges, and a few pieces of broccoli (to test their juicability -- they have a very low yield).

Consistency: Very thick, but not in a bad way.

Taste: I could only taste the tomatoes. It was not bad.

Rating: 5/10.

Closing notes:  As far as juice goes, I've had worse. But this isn't something that I enjoyed drinking.
