Banana Orange Juice

DiegoM — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 22:06:32 +0000

Not many people consider bananas and oranges as a great match, nor do you think of bananas when it comes to juice – they tend to make much better smoothies. However, I decided to try this combination, and was very, very impressed with the results. The banana makes it frothy, and also takes away from the acidity of the oranges. Somehow, it make a sweet juice, with a nice silky texture – not to mention, it is very, very healthy.

Banana Orange Juice

1 medium sized banana
4 juicing oranges

Peel banana and add it to the blender. Juice oranges in a citrus juicer (or you could use your juicing machine). Add orange juice to blender and blend until smooth. There is no need to add anything else to this juice, it is delicious as is. One way to alter it would be to add milk. This makes it taste a bit creamier, and gives it sort of an orange creamsicle taste. Also delicious and very healthy. A great smoothie option.

Banana Strawberry Juice

1 medium sized banana
4 juicing oranges

I tried the same thing but with strawberries instead of oranges. The results were pretty decent, but not as good as oranges and bananas. This one was better as a smoothie, with milk added. Nonetheless, both options are great, and if you’re looking for less calories, or your juicing for health, then the banana strawberry juice is delicious.

Camu Camu Juices – Healthy and Jam Packed with Vitamin C!!

DiegoM — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 19:27:00 +0000

We love to share our gourmet juice recipes with you, and what is more gourmet than juices made with this Amazonian lemon-like fruit???? It is called a camu-camu, and although hard to find, is definitely worth looking for it. See video we’ve included below for some more info.

This fruit has a flavor similar to that of lemon juice, although slightly “fruitier” and more tropical, if that makes any sense. It has to be combined with juices that have some sweetness to them, or you will have to add sugar to the juice. Some fantastic combinations include maracuya, strawberries, oranges, granny smith apples, pinneaple, and kiwis. Here are some recommended gourmet, healthy juices made with camu-camu.

Green and Red Apple with Camu Camu Juice

Granny smith apples combine best with the camu camu, but the red apples in this add a bit of a sweetness, making it a perfect combination, and no need to add sugar. This is a juice that is very high in Vitamin C, and is fairly low calorie, making it great for weight loss. This juice must be made in a juicer, its just not the same in a blender.

2 granny smith apples
2 red delicious apples
1 tsp grated ginger (just a hint for a spec of flavor, but its important)
5 camu camus

Add to juicer, and enjoy!!!!

Passionfruit Strawberry Orange and Camu Camu Juice

Another to die (live?) for combination. I love maracuya, I think it is perhaps my favorite fruit for juices. It is also very acidic, though the strawberries diminish the acidity. Its best to use really sweet oranges, otherwise, sugar may be necessary. ***Note: These are also spectacular for making fruit freezes***

10 strawberries
1 Passion Fruit
5 camu camus
6 sweet oranges

This one does not need a juicer. Can be made in a blender or a juicer. This one is a super vitamin C kick, and is VERY refreshing.

Pineapple Golden Kiwi and Camu Camu Juice

This doesn’t actually have to be made with golden kiwi, but I prefer it. It can be made in a juicer or a blender, but if made in a blender, you will probably want to strain it. It is very tropical, quite sweet (as long as you can find good pineapple) and ooooos o tasty. The kids love this one.

2 cups Pineapple
2 Golden Kiwis
3 Camu Camu

Strawberry Orange and Blueberry Juice

This may seem like a weird combination, but this is a killer juice. Truly unbelievable, it may be my new favorite. The trick is to have lots of strawberries and lots of orange juice. The blueberries shouldn’t be overpowering, you just want a few to add a bit of sweetness to the juice, which should be somewhat tart. It also gives it a rich, dark red color. Here are approximate amounts, but it depends a lot on the strawberries and blueberries – such as how sweet or tart they are.

For 2 glasses of this delicious, healthy, low fat juice:

4 oranges
10 strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries

Wash well all fruit. Peel oranges, add to juicer, and then add the strawberries and blueberries. Juice. And enjoy!

This can easily be made with a blender, but you’ll have to strain it.

Would You Like Some Juice with Your Dinner Sir?

Juices are typically served either for breakfast or for lunch, and are rarely paired with a dinner. This is an unfortunate mistake. Juices can go extremely well with dinners, and can actually make your dinners taste better, similar to wine. And, just like wine, you have to know which juices go best with which meals. This is often a matter of taste, but there are some general rules involved.

All types of citrus juices tend to go best with seafood, especially orange juice, grapefruit juice, or passionfruit juice (or any juice that has a combination of the three). The citrus flavors don´´t overpower the seafood flavors, and actually help to bring out the flavor of the fish/shellfish. For example, select your favorite form these delicious shrimp recipes, and pair it with an orange/grapefruit juice.

Spicy Asian dishes (and Peruvian dishes) foods also go well with citrus juices, because the citrus tends to cut through the spiciness. In this case, a slighter sweeter citrus juice is the best option. For example, a sweet lemonade, or a strawberry-orange-grapefruit juice would be perfect when paired with a Thai red curry. You´ll notice the sweetness cuts right through the heavy spices.

Chicken and pork go well with slightly sweet juices, especially any of the berries. Kiwi and apple juices are also a great option, especially for pork. For example, a strawberrry blueberry juice would go perfect with a chicken breast covered in a light sauce. An apple-kiwi juice would go great with a pork tenderloin.

**Beef does not go particularly well with juices, and in this case, I recommend you stick to wine. There is nothing better than a nice Malbec with a big juicy steak!**

Blueberry Strawberry and Orange Juice

DiegoM — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:22:10 +0000

Add a half cup of blueberries, a half cup of strawberries, and two oranges. This one make a great combo, because the blueberries add just enough sweetness to keep the juice from being to acidic. Not to mention, blueberries are one of the healthiest fruits available! This baby is packed not only with Vitaminc C, but also with anti-oxidants and numerous other vitamins and minerals.
