Juice Recipe: Cabbage, blueberry and apple
Purple food is good. Blue is not a common natural color. In fact, is the least recurring color in nature yet for some reason, also the most nutritious when fruits and vegetable have this hue.
In this juice, we combine one of each: purple cabbage and blueberries. That’s right, the two most common of the uncommon blue foods.
So not only is this juice fun (you are drinking purple juice after all) but tremendously nutritious. Nobody say a healthy diet should be boring and tasteless.
A supercharged nutritious juice with an exquisite taste and amusing color and texture.
The peppery, slightly aggressive flavor of row cabbage is tamed by the mellow and playful taste of blueberries, which also infuse the juice with a deep purple color and slightly lumpy texture.
The apple and cucumber just come along as supporting characters to improve volume and juice yield, but the real stars are the blue ingredients.

Kind liked it but...
It was weird to juice cabbage but was surprised of how well it mixed with the rest. The cabbage I had was kind of old so the flavor was very strong and wasn’t crazy about I will try it with a greener cabbage next time.
