Red grapes, Rose Apple, Oranges

As my girl wasn't used to chewing grapes with its skin, it took some time to remove the skin and seeds before the grapes could be fed to my big baby.

On the other hand, she couldn't finish the  whole big apple but only 1/4 of it as most, I had to eat lotsa apple leftover each day.

Left with many grapes that were very ripen and an apple in the fridge... I decided to juice them when I made orange juices today.

Sorry, no pics as these were very common fruits ^^

10-20 big red grapes and 2/3 big apples (core removed), yielded about 1 cup of juice for my girl (to ease her constipation).

5 big Africa oranges ($2.45 for 5 from Fairprice) yielded 2 1/2 cup of oranges for my husband and I ^^

All in less than 20mins. Really convenient and effortless to juice different batches together.

(Side note: the grape and apple juice seemed to separate into pulp and water layers after a while)

Kiwi...

Kiwi, strawberries... Such soft fruits are probably not suitable, in terms of its volume, when it came to slow juicing.

Earlier this week, my girl rejected her first try of kiwi fruits. It's probably too sour, instead of sweet, that she didn't like it.

So today while we were juicing oranges, I thought of mixing the kiwi into the juice for my constipated girl.

If worked, she finished the juice... But to be frank, there's only very little amount of juice from this big kiwi... Sigh... I didn't waste the pulp, I ate it! Yes, I know it may sound/seem gross... But it's still fruit, right?

Sticking with juicing oranges, apples, kind of crunchy and juicy fruits, instead of expensive soft fruits... Hmm... At least my girl took it in its juice form ;p

Back from confinement

I had certainly kept really quiet on this blog for a while... Not that I had forgotten it but I just 'graduated' from confinement ^^

And the very first juice I craved for after 40 days of warm longan dates tea... Was the chilled Orange Juice!!!

My elder daughter loves the orange juice... Probably the first type of juice that let her learnt the word 'juice'...

The difference in this batch was that I had added a little bit (abt the size of a thumb) of ginger... Yes! Ginger, as I had plenty of leftover from the confinement...

Verdict? This tiny bit of ginger overwhelmed the 15 small African oranges used in juicing... So, lesson learnt. If you intend to include ginger to boost the nutrition value of the juice, use just 1-2 slices and that would probably be more than enough in terms of the taste...

Good luck when you try it.. Haa! Really glad to be back to juicing... WuhOO! ^^
