Juice Glorious Juice

Spent the day deep in fruit and vegetables. My kitchen looked so neat in the morning and it was quickly chaos with all the chopping but I love the benefits juicing can provide. It is best, I suppose, to juice each day, all nice and fresh, I just don't have the time. So when I have gathered the ingredients, and they are so abundant at this time of year, I juice away making all kinds of varieties. They are then poured into glass jars and labeled and placed in the freezer for daily use. I particularly love the tall pint 1/2 jars and I top them with the reusable white plastic canning lid. The jars and lids can often be found at Walmart or online at Amazon. White lids here.
These jars fit perfectly in the door of my freezer, the labels can be seen clearly, and they can be grabbed quickly. You can either place in the fridge for the next day, or these jars can be taken with you and drunk slowly as it melts throughout the day. 

A wonderful book I use for recipe ideas:  piece
