Today is one of those rainy, dreary days that make it necessary for me to give myself a pep talk in the morning about why I shouldn’t spend all day lounging on the couch watching bad reality tv. Because let’s be honest – that sounds kind of awesome on a Thursday, right? But part of being an adult is paying your rent, and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills aren’t going to help me out, even though they totally could. $25,000 sunglasses? That’s just gross.
I needed some instant energy, and not in the form of coffee, which makes me jittery and requires that I load it up with tons of creamer and sugar to make it drinkable. I wanted to just eat chocolate for breakfast, but I figured juice was a more appropriate, adult-like choice.
Today’s blend (all organic):
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 orange
- 1 beet
This was slightly sweet and gone in about 1 minute flat. I know a lot of people don’t love the taste of celery, but I think the beet does a pretty good job of masking most of it.
You do like beets, don’t you?

Grapefruit is my favorite fruit to have in my juices, makes them taste so fresh.
I don’t usually use celery, I like spinach better but I keep seeing so many recipes with it maybe I’ll make the switch!
Just found you blog and really like it, the name is super cute too! : )
Thanks, Emma!
Yeah, celery gives it a sort of earthy taste. I don’t mind it, but it seems to be a polarizing flavor.
