K-A-L-E

Most of you will never drink this! It’s too healthy, bitter, and requires too much effort. Thanks for stopping by, though. Keep reading if you think you or your personal chef might make it. It’s cold-pressed kale with an Omega juicer. A tablespoon of honey syrup can be added if needed, like training wheels. A pinch of spicy ground cayenne is optional but adds a kick. Heart-smart, though! Oh, and for all the emails you received – apparently fifty-five in total – those were a mistake. Just like bar business, things can be sporadic and people and drinks can come all at once. Thank you for understanding. Cheers! To your health.

K-A-L-E

Ingredients

1 bag of kale (reserve one piece for the garnish) or bunch depending on your preference

1 tablespoons of honey syrup (1:1 ration honey to water)

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Method

Open the bag. Wash the kale. Add the kale into the Omega juicer chute. Stir in honey and cayenne if you choose

Glass: bucket glass

Garnish: kale leaf

Bar Chef Notes: Cold-pressed juice lasts about two to three days in the refrigerator. This method of juicing preserves more vitamins and minerals. Nutrients from the inside out.

Sunday Morning Juice

On a Sunday morning, when the world seems to move at a slower pace, there is a certain charm to indulging in the lazies. I don’t know about you but cravings of something refreshing invigorating and decant all come to mind. What’s a better combo than fresh juice paired with flakey buttery and perhaps chocolate filled pastries with a side of strawberries? Nothing in this morning moment.

Sunday Morning Juice

Ingredients:

  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 medium-sized golden beets
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric
  • 2 oranges
  • Honey or agave (optional for additional sweetness)
  • Squeeze of lemon (optional for additional brightness)

Instructions:

  1. Wash and peel the carrots and golden beets. Cut them into smaller pieces to fit into your juicer chute.
  2. Peel the ginger and turmeric using a spoon or a peeler. I like the spoon. Cut them into smaller chunks.
  3. Peel the oranges and separate them into segments.
  4. Set up your cold press juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. I use Omega.
  5. Start by juicing the carrots, followed by the golden beets, ginger, turmeric, and finally the oranges.
  6. Once all the ingredients are juiced, give the juice a good stir to combine the flavors. Add optional honey/agave and squeeze of lemon here.
  7. Pour the juice into a glass or a jar and refrigerate for a few minutes to chill.
  8. Serve the cold press juice immediately and enjoy its refreshing and nutritious goodness!
  9. Best served with fresh strawberries and pastries or a pancake, if you feel like cooking. It’s Sunday after all.

Note: Cold press juicers extract juice by slowly crushing and pressing the ingredients, which helps retain more nutrients compared to traditional juicers. If you don’t have a cold press juicer, you can use a regular juicer or a blender. If so, you may need to strain the juice using a cheese cloth to remove any pulp or fiber.

Cheers!

Golden Planet Juice

I was having a conversation with two someones on different occasions recently. “It’s what we do when we are well that affects us when we are not well,” was the takeaway. This is a yummy, taking-care juice. As bright as the sun and feels good with every sip.
