EJB #1: Experimental Juice Blend

So let me start by saying that pretty much all the juices I make are experiments. Unless I got the recipe from some other knowledgeable source, I whip these little concoctions right out of the creative part of my mind.

This one didn't quite do it for me, so it doesn't deserve a cute and/or creative name. From henceforth, any "failed" juices or flavor combos that I deem unworthy will be known as EJBs, or Experimental Juice Blends, followed by a number. I expect there will be quite a few of these, so I advise you to follow any recipes titled EJB at your own risk.

How did this go so wrong? Well, it's not horrible, I just don't like the way the flavors came together. I basically picked fruits that sounded good to me separately, but maybe they just don't belong together? Who knows, but here's the ingredients:

8 carrots

2 sweet potatoes, peeled

1 container of strawberries

1 grapefruit

Ginger root (to taste, I never really measure my ginger)

Doesn't sound too bad right? I basically knew I wanted to sweet potato juice, I was really craving it actually. I don't enjoy super-sweet juice, and the recommendations I saw only called for carrots, sweet potatoes and a little ginger. I knew this would be too sweet for me, so I figured I could add grapefruit, since i love them. Then as I was heading to checkout, I saw the strawberries, and if you remember my Dark Knight juice recipe then you know I like strawberry juice.

Yeah, well, not as good as I would have liked. I don't even want to list the health benefits, which are many when it comes to all the ingredients used. Click on the sweet potato link above to read a short article about its greatness. I will wait until I create a successful recipe then dazzle you with the wonderful side effects.

If you decide to try this juice, let me know your thoughts. If you modify or omit something, tell me that too so I can try it. I think of us as a community of juice scientists...ooh, I'm coining a new title: master juice-ologist! By the end of our journey, we will hopefully be able to claim this title proudly.

Don't worry, the week is young, and I will be getting a good selection of fruits & veggies tomorrow, so the experimentation will continue! Now to finish my disappointment of a juice :-/
