Headed up to Santa Barbara today and while there, a stop at this Juicebar is a must. Erin’s juices are cold pressed, raw, organic and locally sourced and they all tastes really good. Glass bottled with a 2 dollar back for returning the bottle to them. Well done!

Juice Ranch

Cheers and bye bye from beautiful Santa Barbara.

I ended up at the farmers market this morning. Needed a bunch of citrus fruits and some flowers. I love juicing blood oranges and tangerines for a good C vitamin boost and some sunshine in a glass.

The juice:  Oranges, blood oranges, tangerines, pear and a hint of ginger. Gimme!

Good kale for pizza night. I throw kale on a gluten free crust with some asiago cheese, chili flakes and olive oil. It’s delicious!

Almonds and almond butter in all sorts of flavors, so good.

I decided to juice some of the clementines i received in the farm box yesterday and added a generous amount of ginger and turmeric. It’s so yummy! One thing i learned when we were shooting Juice Ranch for the book is that black pepper helps the body absorb the turmeric. Thats the big tip of the day for ya! So i added a tiny pinch of black pepper to it.  Happy juicing people!

Sunshine jucie!

5 – 6 clementines

3 – 4 cm fresh ginger root 

3 – 4 cm fresh turmeric root

a pinch of black pepper

Peel the skin off the clementines and run everything thru the juicer. Poor into a glass and add the black pepper, stir and enjoy!
