After harvesting fresh vegetables from the garden, it's time to make delicious vegetable and fruit juice.
Making vegetable juice is a bit tricky so that it still tastes delicious even without added sugar. Especially green vegetables, it looks scary for people who don't like vegetables. So, the main trick that must be done is to mix vegetables with fruit that tastes sweet and also a little sour.
My favorite vegetable juice is with pineapple mixed in. This is because pineapple can provide additional fragrance and a sweet, slightly sour taste, thus creating fresh juice without added sugar.
This time, I will make green vegetable juice with pineapple. A few days ago, I harvested tatsoi vegetables, and today there are still a few plants left. So, I decided to harvest again and use it to make juice.
Well, before making juice, I will invite you to unbox my new tools for juicer. Just a small tool but I think it will be quite effective.
This is a manual juicer product. I decided to buy this type of juicer product because it is manual without electricity. Also, it is small and I can take this tool with me when I travel.
I also like making orange juice and this tool is very good especially for making orange juice. Take a look at some of this equipment and one tool.
Comes with an instruction sheet containing pictures for quick use. Even though it's in Chinese, I understand it just by looking at the pictures listed there. lol
There is a pestle which will later be used to mash vegetables and fruit into the small container provided. Hopefully this will work out well!
THE INGREDIENTS
-
1/4 part of whole ripe pineapple or about 250 grams of pineapple
-
50 grams of your favorite green leaves, I choose tatsoi, you can use mustard greens or kale
SUPER EASY STEP BY STEP
Prepare the pineapple and vegetables that we will use. Cut the pineapple into small pieces to make it easier for us to process them in this manual juicer.
Also clean green vegetables and make sure there are no thick stems. Here because I use tatsoi, the tatsoi stems are not thick so just need to cut them by hand.
Then, put the green vegetables and pineapple pieces in the tool provided. Then mash those ingredients slowly. Make sure to add ingredients little by little so that the manual juicer can work well.
THE RESULTS
I was quite surprised that the results were quite good. There is still fruit and vegetable fiber included in the juice, but the fiber actually feels soft. Even though it takes effort to push ingredients using this tool, the results are quite good.
However, this manual juicer is only for fruits and vegetables that don't have a hard texture. For fruit, we can use oranges, watermelon, pineapple, grapes, and berries.
Well, I included a short video that I uploaded on YouTube today. Hope you enjoy it. Stay healthy!
