A New Kind Of Orange Juice

one large grapefruit
one naval orange
one cara cara naval orange (pink on the inside like a grapefruit)

Or 

one cara cara naval orange
one naval orange
one tangerine

Juice all three of these together and you have a wonderful new kind of orange juice.
Both of these taste great. I like to make up new mixtures with whatever I have on hand or whatever is in season.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus

We decided that the juicer we were using before was way too difficult and time consuming to us. Ultimately we decided on the Breville Juice Fountain because it is super easy to use, it juices quickly, and it is really quick and easy to clean. It doesn't get as much juice out of the kale as our other juicer but overall it juices everything else very well. Having a juicer that only takes about 5-10 minutes to use will be extra motivation to use it daily!

After making your own homemade orange juice, you may never go back!

Green Juice

I usually drink a glass of this every morning for my breakfast.

This recipe makes a whole pitcher. Usually enough for me and my husband for two days.

1 bush of kale
1 bush of collar greens
2-3 lbs of carrots
1 beet
1 cucumber
6-8 apples (when pears are in season I use them; only about half as many too)
2 stalks celery
1/2 lemon (optional)

After I juice all of these ingredients I like to strain it to get the pulp out. You don't have to if it doesn't bother you. I use a cloth strainer bag.

1 bush = one bunch of a item, how they sell it at the grocery store. I am not sure of the exact term.
