Sweeeeeeeet Potatoes!

Along with our usual Green Juices, we have tried out a few sweet potato drinks the last few days. We decided that sweet potatoes do not have a taste, but they do "dull" the taste of other juices. They do have some good health benefits though. Here are 6 benefits highlighted in this photo. We only got 5 though. The juicing took out the fiber.

Our first new juice was the Sweet Potato Apple Juice. Which had the following ingredients: Yep! 

Sweet Potatoes and Apples. 

We added cinnamon to the top. 

This was a good breakfast drink It was like dull apple cider. It would have probably been really good warm. It will go in the "okay" list. 

Later we had a "Creamsicle Juice" 

3 Oranges

2 Pears

1 Sweet Potato

(disregard the grapefruit - that wasn't supposed to go in the juice, and we did not put it in)

Chris said to put this in the "Fuck Yeah" list. It tasted really good, and very similar to a creamsicle. Something to note though is that sweet potatoes have sort of a gritty texture. When it sits for several minutes, or if it takes you more than about 5 minutes to drink it, you will find a milky white substance has settled on the bottom of your glass. It is weird.

For breakfast this morning we had "Not Your Mama's Ruby Red" Juice. 

1 grapefruit

3 carrots

1 lemon

1/2 piece ginger

I couldn't drink it. It was too sour or bitter or grapefruity. Yak!

Chris on the other hand, loves grapefruit juice, but he still had to do a Will Smith "Woo!" or sing the 

Trolololo Song after every sip in order to balance out the sour flavor. 

This is what I heard Chris singing all morning, while I was getting ready for work.
