Juice Recipe: Cantaloupe with jicama and pineapple
Restraining sweetness in juicing is a skill. The condensed extracts from fruits – and some vegetables – can turn sugary flavors syrupy and ruin the recipe.
Knowing what to use to counteract and enhance sweet recipes is important, as flavor can turn against you quickly using the wrong ingredients.
You could use neutral flavors like celery or cucumber, but for the adventurous, we have something better: jicama.
Go ahead, give it a try. Learn to appreciate how this root can make sweet juices excitingly better.
The candied flavor of cantaloupe and pineapple are neutralized by the jicama without altering their unique flavor and tones, while improving hydration and overall fluidity of the juice.
The lime, commonly paired with jicama, works just as well here, making this a fun, interesting and joyful juice for the summer.
Drink cold or over ice to reduce intensity.

It’s a pina colada look & taste alike for those – like me- who don’t like coconut!!!
I drink this juice while I’m by the pool! It is a great rum mixer if you dare!
