Johnny-O Safario
This is a recipe I hold near to my heart. This was one of the last recipes I made for my father-in-law, John, before he passed away after a long battle with cancer. I specifically made this blend for him knowing he loved cherries and was requesting cherry juice during this time. Cherries are known to help support better sleep. I snuck in some purple cabbage and apple, and he loved it! I hope you enjoy it as much as he did.
YIELD: ABOUT 2 (16-OUNCE [480-ML]) SERVINGS
Ingredients
- JUICING LINE UP
- 46 CHERRIES
- 1/2 OF A PURPLE CABBAGE
- 2 COSMIC CRISP APPLES
GET JUICING!
-
Wash all your produce and get ready to prep.
-
Remove the stems and pits from the cherries. Remove a few of the outer leaves from the cabbage, including any that are damaged or wilted. Cut it into pieces to fit easily in the hopper.
-
There is no need to peel the apples, but you can core them. Nama suggests coring because apple seeds are known to have toxicity; I prefer to core my apples when juicing.
-
Add the ingredients to the hopper in this order: First layer your cherries, then add the cabbage and apples on top for a smoother juicing process.
-
Once it’s loaded, turn on the juicer and run it until all the ingredients are juiced.
TIP:
I recommend using a cherry pitter to remove pits from cherries. It makes it quicker and easier. Do not leave pits in the cherries, as they can damage your juicer.
