Watermelon carrot apple juice

Free ninja!

Thanks to a mishap by Macy’s, I recently acquired a brand new Ninja “Mega Kitchen System”. I had never heard of this before, but apparently I don’t watch enough tv and haven’t seen the infomercial. I have a Cuisinart blender and food processor combination…who knew I “needed” an upgrade?

Singapore

I have never really gotten into juicing or smoothies. Though I do have very fond memories of a little juice stand in Singapore…we went there every morning after our breakfast of roti prata. I think that is where I discovered how much I love watermelon juice.

I am really diggin the single serve cups that came with the Ninja. I think this might make juicing and smoothie-ing faster and more convenient. For the recipe below, I first blended the watermelon and apple together, then added the carrot, honey, and ice. It was a little gritty for me (I did leave the skin of the apple on), but I might have just needed to blend it longer. I also made some straight watermelon juice by blending up 2 cups of cubed watermelon.
