Sweet Saturday! Breakfast Blend & a Juicing Discovery

I made this conglomeration this morning.  It was assembled from loose bits and pieces, with great results.  See the recipe and notes for more:

Summer Tropics Juice Blend

2 nectarines

1 mango

1 clementine orange, peeled

3 carrots

2 stalks celery

a wedge of pineapple

Dash of allspice and cinnamon

1 drop stevia

Coconut Water

NOTES:  drop the mango in juicer first,  don't push it in, let gravity carry it to the blade/strainer.  Add nectarines, pineapple and orange the same way.  Process the rest as usual.  Once all is juiced, slowly pour 4-6 oz. of coconut water in.  It will wash out the remianing juice.  Shake in  2 dashes, cinnamon, 1 dash allspice and 1 drop stevia.

Yield:  20 oz before coconut water, 26 oz after coconut water.

Report:  This juice was good, but would be better by leaving out celery and adding 1 Granny Smith apple.  I am out of apples right now, so I used the celery.  No harm, but next time, definitely a Granny.

MY JUICING DISCOVERY

I am always curious as to how things work, and what can be done to make them work better.  Knowing that a mango and nectarine are soft-fleshed, I knew that the juice would be thick and would sit in the machine unless pushed out by other juice.  I also know that if you push something through too fast, it doesn't always process completely.  

Coconut water is allowed, per the "rules" of the reboot, and it's a good way to wash down any precious drops of good juice.  Pour a little in at the end, to the running juicer.

SOOO... 

-with soft fleshed fruits, like mango or peaches, strawberries etc., drop them into the juicer first, allow to process with pressing down into machine.  Then process the remaining veg or fruit as usual.  Use a little coconut water or water at the end, to expel any remaining juices.
