Having a high-power juicer at my disposal is making me kinda obsessed with juicing whatever I can lay my hands on. Until now, I was getting the juicer out only when all members of the family were around. Today, I was feeling a bit indulgent and prepared a glass of juice all for myself.
The prep and the clean up took all of 5 minutes each.
Come winter and I am able to harvest some really fresh organic spinach and chard from the garden. While I do use them in day to day cooking, juicing them up allows me to extract nutrients from a large bunch of leaves which I would otherwise not be able to eat up on my own. I do have the snails for company, but still there’s only so much we can demolish between us. Juicing to the rescue!
