The forecast for the day in NYC is another hot one, with temperatures expected to reach 90 degrees!  Juice is perfect for days like today when you don't feel like cooking.  While green juice is my daily go too, I love to incorporate other types of fruit and vegetable juices as well, trying new combinations along the way.  Last night I wanted to make something fun and pink, inspired by a summer sunset! Starting with the strawberries, since we're smack dab in the middle of the season, I wanted to keep the pink color so I added grapefruit and a pink lady apple topped off with half a lemon.    The combination was amazing!  So refreshing and exactly the color I was looking for.  The perfect healthy drink to sip while enjoying a summer sunset!

Summer Sunset Juice  (makes approx. 16 oz) 

  • 1 Medium Grapefruit
  • 6 Strawberries
  • 1 Pink Lady Apple
  • 1/2 Lemon

Add all to your juicer in the order above.  Be sure to cut off the grapefruit and lemon skin to prevent any bitter taste, but leave as much of the white part as possible.  Add a fun straw and enjoy!

Next time I think I will try this combo as a smoothie...
