Happy Monday to you!
I am aboard a plane to sunny (or maybe not) California this morning. There are lots of things going on right now but I did manage to have a nice family weekend. We had a fun Friday evening visiting our Grandmother, a visit to the house build on Saturday along with a visit to the Vet College Open House. Yesterday, we had a birthday party to attend. I hope to get a lot accomplished throughout the week regarding zesty and all the blog makeovers that are on my list. I also have another pretty big announcement to make in the very near future.
I was out at the house talking to a few contractors on Saturday and trying to get everything organized for the week I am gone. I added some updated pictures at the bottom of the post to keep you up to date on the progress.
Back to the food… or juice! We bought a juicer back when I was on a big juice kick . It faded away the last little while but I wanted to share with you a fun juice to have when you are craving something a little different.
Carrots are a great way to get into juicing…. they are a great staple for any juice recipe. They provide a good base to mix in and experiment with other vegetables. They are not too sweet and not too bitter.
Ingredients
- 1/4 inch piece of ginger
- 1 apple
- 4 carrots
Method
- Cut the ginger leave the skin on.
- Core the apples.
- Slice off the tips of the carrots.
- Put through juice extractor.
Zesty Tip: A lot of people tell me that the juice that comes out of the juicer is too warm – I totally agree. I like to add the juice to an ice bath after I make it for about 15 -20 minutes to reduce the temperature of the juice. Try it!
House Update
Thanks so much for reading and I hope you have a great day. I will be on the road all week but I have a couple of guest posts lined up for the next couple of days.
Take care
zesty

Mmm, fresh juice.
The house is coming along nicely!!
Good luck with everything you’ve got going on lately! Sounds like you’re super busy!
That juice sounds good! I’d like to try it, but I have no juicer – maybe I’ll try it in the blender.
I adore carrot juice — it is so refreshing and filling. Your house looks great!
Gorgeous house! Looks like it is going to be so nice.
House is LOOKIN good!…we love fresh juice!
I’ve NEVER had fresh juice like that… at least, not that I can remember! Congrats on the house progress!
That juice looks/sounds so refreshing and I love the bright orange color!
Your house is looking amaaazing. I love following the progress!
Your house looks so great! We were going to build a house but then we decided to buy. I know how much work it can be, so congrats on all the progress! That juice looks so great!
House is looking good, Zest!
You’re juicing! That makes me smile a very big smile.
Congrats on the house!
The house is looking good!
Believe it or not, I’ve never had carrot juice. I should try it. Good luck with the house happenings!
Can’t wait to try this combo, Zesty! The house is looking fantastic!
If you want a slightly sweeter / smoother flavor, try juicing baby carrots instead.
