Create your own juice recipe

Juicing can be so much fun. Here is a basic formula to make sure your juice will always taste delish.
For a balanced flavor, add veggies/fruits from each flavor profile

Sour: Orange, Kiwi, Starfruit, Amla, Tomato, Lemon (squeezed not juiced)

Sweet: Carrots, beets, yellow/orange bellpepper, sweet potato, apple, watermelon (any fruit pretty much)

Spicy: Green or red bell pepper, mustard greens, ginger, jalapeno (never tried, but sound interesting)

Salty: Celery, Kelp powder

Umami: Greens (kale/chard/collard/spinach), Asparagus

Other: Fennel (licorice flavor),

Herby: Keep water in jar and add any kind of herbs you like and store it for couple of hours. Then add this water to the juice. Or you can add the herb leaves directly to the juice but storing juice for a long time is not a good idea since it will oxidize. Here are my fav herbs:
- Basil (any kind)
- Mint
- Lavendar
- Parley
- Cilantro
- Dill
- Fennel
- Rosemary

Keep juicing!
