Purple Juice and Pumpkin Juice
This morning was a purpley day. As I was unpacking from yesterday’s trip to the Royal Oak Farmers Market, I noticed I purchased quite a few purple items. I got purple cauliflower, purple cabbage, purple kale, eggplant, and purple carrots. The carrots came in a small container that had orange, white and purple carrots. The bunch of celery was huge, I only needed 1 stalk. I was a bit concerned the cabbage would be overpowering but I think the apple counteracted it. It was quite good.
Purple Juice
Equipment
- 1 Juicer. I use the Omega Vertical 350 Slow Juicer.
- 1 Strainer
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Knife
- 1 Colander
Ingredients
- 4 leaves purple cabbage
- 2 leaves purple kale
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 cucumber
- 1 Mutsu apple
- 1 beet
Instructions
- Wash all the ingredients.
- Chop them to fit into the hopper of your juicer.
- I tend to use a Strainer over my juice collector.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I hope you can see the wonderful color the juice produced.
Later today, I made pumpkin juice. I used a smaller pie pumpkin than I did last time mainly because it took quite a while to prep it for juicing. The ingredients I used are in the Pyrex bowl. The other pie pumpkin is there so you can see the size compared to the apple and pears.

A great post. I love purple. Not sure if I’ll drink purple though 🙂

Thanks for sharing. I found your post very interesting as far as all the purple vegetables you found. How amazing to have a farmers’ market that is that well stocked. The purple vegetables made a gorgeous color drink. Although I have to say I am not sure I would drink it. Juicing is not high on my list of “must dos”.

Oh, these look wonderful! I’ll have to try them out. I have a couple of girls who love everything purple… and one who is a Harry Potter addict who will think pumpkin juice is wonderful.

I think I’ll make this again later on this week and try adding the purple carrots.
