The bold green shade of the cucumber juice is due to my leaving on the nutrient-rich skin. To help limit your exposure to harmful pesticide residues and waxed coatings often associated with conventional produce, try to purchase organically grown fruits and vegetables as often as possible. Better yet, start your own garden! Drinking fresh juice at least once a day will greatly benefit your health in general, and is an easy way to increase your daily intake of life-giving vitamins and minerals. Something Fun: Use different juice combinations as a base for soups and smoothies as well as for dips and crackers.

The carrot and cucumber pulp leftover from today’s juicy brunch was used to make a luscious bread, flavorful enough to create a pair of yummy sandwiches for the evening meal. Remember that green bread from a few months back? Both that and the pumpkin-colored creation you see pictured above were made using similar techniques, though each with different base ingredients. Keep your eyes peeled for a recipe soon!
