Breakfast Juice #1

[krickets]

I bought a juicer this week and here's a pretty delicious concoction I made this afternoon. I don't know what to call it. We'll call it Breakfast Juice #1:

3 med carrots, ends trimmed
2 sm to med pink lady apples, halved & stems removed (any apple will do!)
1 sm to med banana, peeled
1/2 (or 3/4) cup grapes (any variety)
1/2 (or 3/4) cup blueberries
1/2 lemon, peeled

Wash, peel, slice, or whatever you need to do to prepare your ingredients. Then shove it all into your juicer, and enjoy! Cause it's damn delicious!

It made about 24 ounces but that'd vary depending on the size of your ingredients. Probably not the healthiest juice in the world considering it's 80% fruit and it's got a banana. But I'm pretty sure I don't care even a little bit.

My end-game plan is to use it to simply help myself get more fruit/veggie intake every day, but I am actually going to do a 3-10 day juice fast coming up soon, so I'm going to have to work up to loving some more veg-heavy recipes. We'll see how it goes. After that, it's going to be mostly delicious fruity concoctions for me, haha.

They can be expensive, but this one is a cheaper model and was only 60 bucks at Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-67650-Mouth-Extractor/dp/B000FHQJ6C). I had 50 bucks on a GC leftover from Christmas, so I took the plunge. I have a feeling it's going to be worth all 10 bucks I spent on it. (And that it would be worth it even if I'd spent the full 60.)
