Get Juiced for the New Year

January 2, 2023 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Happy 2023!  I hope it brings you everything wonderful. Perhaps, thanks to a little holiday overindulgence, you’d not be in the mood — or shape — to cook today.  Hey, it’s okay.  We’ve got you covered.  Bunging fresh produce in a juicer is the answer, and Robin Asbell, chef, cookbook author and friend promises this hangover fix is just the tonic to get you back in the game.  Tomorrow’s a work day, love.

Full disclosure — I am not a big juice person.  I like to chew. I figure, I’ve got teeth, I like to use ‘em.  and get the fiber from fruits and vegetables, as well as the plant power.  But Robin, whose books include “Juice It!” and “300 Best Blender Recipes: Using Your Vitamix” will not steer you wrong. “I don’t care if it’s healthy — if it doesn’t taste good, I’m not going to do it,” she says.

Jump to the recipe or stick around for a few juicing tips.

How to Make: 

  • Juice the celery, spinach, and oranges, in that order. Run the pulp through again to extract as much liquid as possible. Serve immediately.

This juice has the benefit of needing only a few targeted ingredients, rather than a whole farmers’ market haul of produce.  

  • Celery, astringent, hydrating and fiber-rich 
  • Orange for vitamin C and natural sweetness
  • Spinach for iron, magnesium and folate to support the body and boost your mood

I like this recipe for its elegant simplicity. but a half-inch piece of fresh ginger is a bracing, cleansing, anti-inflammatory addition

Reasons to Juice

How you look:  “Juice is really good for your skin. When I don’t juice, I start to look scruffy,” Robin says. Juicing can help you start the new year with a healthy glow 

How you feel: “Juicing every day really boosted my immune system,” Robin told me, and with the worst of flu season upon us, we need all the body support we can get.

Hangover Fix

We’re not saying you drink. But you know, things happen. Asbell created this vibrant juice as a morning-after tonic. “It does make you feel better.” Celery relaxes the circulatory system in your head, so it’s a great hangover remedy. The magnesium in spinach also relieves a headache, and oranges boost your vitamin C.

Notes

Perhaps a tall glass of cold juice doesn’t appeal now, what with the winter cold. I feel you.  Even Miami had a bitter, cold holiday.  There are other ways to drink your fruits and vegetables.  I got through it by drinking pots of turmeric lemonade. Bracing, but hot, and full of ginger, turmeric and lemony vitamin C.

There’s also, um, soup. 

This one’s pure vegetables with a slight French accent.

Adeena Sussman offers a vegetable soup with a freekeh kick, from her cookbook Sababa, which means everything’s wonderful. 

My fab friend and cookbook author Anna Thomas shares another vegetable-forward soup in Vegan, Vegetarian Omnivore.  Make it vegan with all vegetables, or if you’re a fishy kind of person, you can add fish — something for everyone! 

One of my favorite winter soups, mushroom barley is ready in half an hour and doesn’t require vegetable broth.
