NUTRITIOUS VEGETABLE AND FRUIT COCKTAILS
These cocktails are tasty and refreshing. Always start with chilled fruit and vegetables. They should be consumed within 24 hours for best nutrition and taste.
Chef's Note:
A tablespoon or two of plumped raisins, dates or chopped figs, adds sweetness and a flavour boost. A tablespoon of chopped nuts is a nice treat. Add to the fruit and vegetables as you juice them.
VEGETABLE JUICES
CARROT JUICE
Juice whole carrots one at a time.
Do not peel the carrots.
Feed at a steady pace.
Straight carrot juice is an excellent drink.
It also is a popular base for many blended juice combinations.
CELERY JUICE
Cut stalks into 3-4 inch pieces.
Feed at a steady speed, holding down the tamper 5-10 seconds each time.
There will be lesser amounts of pulp with celery.
If juicing large quantities of celery, stop the machine after each bunch, remove juicer parts, rinse them in cold water, replace and proceed again.
FRUIT JUICES
APPLE JUICE
Core apples and cut into sections to fit the feeding chamber.
It is not necessary o peel the fruit.
Juice the sections at a steady pace.

Feed at a steady pace.
Seeds may also be juiced.
For a more refreshing drink, chill melons well before juicing.
