square piece of cloth muslin or pantyhose placed over it it, pour the milk
through it into a small bucket or bowl. Squeeze out the excess milk using the

Pear n Pomegranate Juice
Just both pear and
pomegranate combined through the juicer! It’s a divine pump straight to your
insides direct from the Goddess herself. I LOVE pomegranates and when I discovered
cold press juicers I put these two together and kabam, fell in even more love
with pomegranate season J
NOTES
To easily obtain all the
pomegranate pips with out getting frustrated or making a mess. Place two
pomegranate halves into a bowl of water. Break them open and pop out the seeds.
All the white pith will float to the surface making it easy to separate the
two.
The Egyptians used the
lush pomegranate for fertility ceremony. I love how in certain suburbia, you
can find little Italian womyn protecting their front yard pomegranate fruit
trees from the hungry pedestrian. They contain a hit of vitamin C, fiber, iron
and minerals.
Green Mint Smoothie
3 pears
5 leaves of kale or
spinach
5 sprigs of mint
Water to add
BLEND and SERVE
Green OJ
Add any dark leafy greens
to your ready to juice pile of oranges and juice. Try spinach, touch a fennel,
touch a mint, kales, carrot tops, dandelion and grasses.
NOTES
Occasionally I will add a
spoon of flax seed oil to slow down the absorption of vitamin C for a longer
lasting hit of freshness n energy and there is something I love about that
subtle nutty flavour in my orange juice.
