Out of 481 recipes, I have officially made 61! That leaves 420 to go! This photo is a cashew salad with Apple Dream Dressing.
Here's a closer look.
This lentil soup. Reallllyy good.
1 cup sprouted lentils
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup parsley
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 tsp. basil
2 cups water
kelp to taste.
Blend!
I added salt to mine because I didn't have kelp. This is a tasty light soup.
I'm not sure which drink this is, but when I saw the beet juice float to the bottom and the apple and celery float to the top I had to take a picture :-).
I've made almost all of the vegetable juices. I haven't done the tomato juices yet, because I'm chicken. I never liked "V8" juice, and I'm scared I won't like the tomato juice, but I did like Green Blood. But I like tomato soup so...hmmm. I've made two-thirds of the fruit juices. Here's the juices I have made so far:Green Leaf: celery greens, beet greens, turnip greens, watercress
Beet Treat: orange, beet, papaya
Cranberry Punch: cranberries, apple, orange
Cranapple: apple, cranberry, celery
Garden Cleanser: carrot, cucumber, beet
Constipation Blue: carrot, spinach
Potassium Juice: spinach, parsley, celery, carrot
Simple Punch: carrot, apple, beet
Alkalizing: cabbage, celery
Comforting: carrot, apple, comfrey
I've also made a fruit salad with cashew cream that was a hit. I have to make it again, because we ate it too fast! That will be next time!
Love,

All of these look very yummy!
Once upon a time, I ran a day camp. One of our fun projects was juicing fruit and veggies. My partner and I knew, but the kids had no idea these yummy juices were going to go right through them! LOL
Let's just say we had some very "cleansed" kids after that! ;-)
Hi Althea -- what kind of juicer do you use? One of the main reasons I don't juice much is because I see such huge chunks of whole food shooting out the back of my Breville (and if I try to put them back through, they shoot right out again). I probably need a better juicer -- what kind do you use?
@ Angelique: I use a Juiceman Jr.,
orginally created by Jay Kordich.
I bought it in 1999. If you get a new one, try his newest one Juicedaddy's Best Juicer. That is the one that I want.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
Hey Sis!! It's me Veggie Sistah from the 'ol School Vegetarian Soulfood MSN Group. Glad to see the blog!! This is beautiful!!
Hi, Althea! I just discovered your blog...it's awesome.
I see you have answered the question about which juicer you used. I just purchased an Omega 8006, which is a masticating juicer (the Juiceman has a basket, I take it)and single gear. It works especially well with greens and is slow-moving, which means it doesn't oxidize the juice. I used to have a centrifugal juicer and my juice would separate. This juicer keeps everything pretty homogenized. I just wanted to let people know that there is a relatively affordable juicer ($299 on the Internet with free shipping)that has a 15-year warranty and is considered commerical quality.
