Juice Recipe: Apple, cauliflower, carrot
This is one of those recipes in which the amount of heat and pressure applied to the ingredients decide the outcome.
If you blend them, it is a soup. If you eat them raw, a salad, add cheese and it is a casserole, and if you crush them, a juice.
In this context, we are interested in juicing two brassicas: cauliflower and broccoli. Although related, they are not the same just in different colors. Their flavor, nutrition and texture in juice form is also distinct from each other.
And just as with every possible edible variation of these ingredients, this juice is also a full meal.
Leaning toward a green veggie juice, this recipe is more than a whole meal in a glass.
The juice of cauliflower is surprisingly milky, silky and fluid, retaining its unique flavor, but now somehow more intense.
The broccoli juice is more conventional, but way less lumpy than expected.
Both rule the flavors in this juice, which is then subtly calibrated as a tasty beverage instead of a soup thanks to the apple, carrot and lime.

Reviews for: Apple, cauliflower, carrot
You should try.
I don’t really like broccoli and now I tried juicing it and it was soooooo yummy! I wnat to drink it all the time when I intermittently diet.
The taste is good and it is healthy
made this for the first time with my juicer and never cross my mind to use cauliflower (which I love) and have to say I am impressed! it tasted soo good because the flavor is now less carroty (which I don’t like). Try it!
Its a no for me
Taste not soo good for detox drink of sorts. My hesitation drinking the cauliflower was true. I think I can make another juice with some of these ingredients without the cauliflower.
Brassicas rule
Apple
Granny SmithGranny Smith apples are a juicing staple thanks to their high juice yield, somewhat neutral flavor and smooth texture.
This apple is also very easy to store – fresh or sliced – with minimal deterioration of the juice quality.
Cauliflower
Not commonly juiced, cauliflower is easy to prepare, juice and store, making it a great value ingredient.
Carrot
While carrot-only juice exists, the best use for this root is mixed with fruits, vegetables and leafy greens.
Broccoli
Available everywhere, all the time, Broccoli is a staple juice ingredient with superfood abilities and earthy flavors.
Steps to optimize juice yield
Apple
Peel, core and cut into wedges.
Cauliflower & Broccoli
Remove woody ends but not the stems. Cut into small florets.
Carrot
Peel and cut into sticks.
Juice
Start with half the apple and the cauliflower. Add half the carrot and the broccoli. Add lime, the rest of the apple and the rest of the carrot.
