Instructions
Choose your ingredients! And place them all in a small blender! I’ll have the recipe for this particular juice up on the blog on Thursday (and boy, is it worth the wait!), but you can choose whatever you’d like! Kale, carrots, apples, pears…the beauty of a homemade juice lies in the fact that it’s pretty much a blank canvas. Feel free to go crazy with your ingredient add-ins, but don’t forget to add some liquid to help the blending process!
Blend, baby blend! Blend until your ingredients are totally incorporated and smooth. I’m not gonna lie to you: t’s going to look like a hot mess. But don’t worry, we’ll alleviate your concern in the next step!
Place a fine-mesh sieve/strainer over a bowl. If you have it, you can line this sieve with cheesecloth for even more straining power, but I didn’t bother this time around.
Slowly empty your juice’s contents into the fine mesh strainer. The fibrous pulp will stay in the sieve, while the super duper smooth juice will drain into the bowl.
Using a spoon or measuring cup, push the pulp against the sieve, making sure that all of the juice has drained into the bowl below. Be sure to keep all pulp in the sieve. After all of the juice has drained, discard all pulp. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 if you’d like to double-strain your juice, ensuring that your juice is totally pulp-free.
