The "Strawberry Delight" Juice Drink

0 comments
e flavoring of a juice drink is a very subtle or a very pronounced preference when it comes to sweetness. Here are the sweet additions:

  • Strawberrys
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Young organic carrots
  • Pomegranates
  • Canberrys

    The strawberry is a very special fruit because its flavor is strong and even though other vegetables are juiced in moderation the sweet strawberry will come through. This drink will surprise you.

    Ingredients

    • Juice 8-10 strawberrys
    • Juice 8 small carrots
    • Juice 1 small zuchini.
    • Juice 4 individual celerey stalks.
    • Juice 1 small beet.
    • Juice 1 large Fuji apple.
    • Juice a small section of Galanga root.
    • Juice about 1/2 inch burdock root.

    This is it. No blender this time. This is the pure champion juice, and you will discover a very pronounced sweet flavor with a slight tang. If you do not want the tang omit the galanga root. A sweet tang can be had by replacing the galanga root with the juice of a small piece of ginger. Be careful though, ginger is very strong and it will cut the strawberry.


  • The "Yin-Yang Fortifier" Juice Drink

    0 comments

    The tang and tartness of a juice drink is a very subtle or a very pronounced preference when it comes to flavoring. These are some roots I have worked with:

    • Salsify root
    • Ginger root
    • Burdock root
    • Galanga root
    • Whie raddish root

    Roots are extremely pungent and add a definite flavor to the juice drink. If you are not careful you can completely effect the juice drink with these roots with no ability to alter their earthy and bitter flavor. The best suggestion I have is to use a small amount each time . Once the top flavor is discovered in the juice you will find this approach to be a very powerful factor in the overall flavor of the juice drink. The "Yin-Yang Fortifier" accomplishes this delicate balance between sweetness and tartness. In this case the strawberrys and the banana help push the galanga root to the back of the taste buds after you have swollowed the first gulp of the drink savoring the sweet strawberrys. Be careful with the galanga root. I suggest one to two inches of a section of the root to start with.

    Ingredients

    • Juice10 strawberrys
    • Juice 12 small carrots
    • Juice 1/2 purple top parnsnip
    • Juice 4 individual celerey stalks
    • Juice 1 small beet
    • Juice 1 large Fuji apple
    • Juice a small section of Galanga root.

    After juicing with the Champion juicer you are ready for the blender. Always pour the amount you want to drink into the blender, and save the rest for another time. I suggest you drink all fresh juice in one or two days and be sure to refrigerate and keep it air tight. After you have poured the amount you want to drink into the blender you then add:

    • 1 tablespoon barley green powder
    • 1 tablespoon colloidal minerals
    • 1 scoop spiru-protein
    • 1/2 banana
    • 1 teaspoon bee pollen
    • 1 fresh egg

    Put the blender setting on whip to make it nice and frothy for about 1 minute and you have an excellent juice drink. After you pour the juice drink into a glass cut a thin slice of strawberry and lay it gently on the juice froth. Not only does it look nice, but wait until you taste it. You may just want to drink the rest.

    For added fortification I suggest you also take with the juice drink:

    • 1 tablet of Wellness Formula, a herbal defense complex by Source naturals.
    • 2 Squalene tablets (shark oil) as a cancer and radical cell defense preventiative
