Splash of Sun!!

Saw this simple recipe the other day.  Does it look familiar?  It should!  It's my favorite recipe minus two apples, plus two oranges.


I didn't like it as much as I thought I would :o(.  It's beautiful and packed with nutrients, but it just wasn't sweet enough to me, even though I added an extra orange.  Maybe clementines would have been better, but I still like the apple recipe the most.

I do have some tips for juicing oranges as I experimented a lot today.  I remember reading that you should juice citrus cold.  I remembered this after juicing an orange that was room temperature and thinking that it didn't yield very much liquid.  In my head it makes sense that a cold orange would juice better.  The juicer does not like mushy foods.  The second orange I juiced was refrigerated.  Refrigerated oranges are hard to peel.  Unless you cut them into quarters first :o).  This is also a good way to peel room temp oranges without making a complete mess.  Happy juicing!
