Candy Corn Fruit Juice

I realize this post may be deceiving because candy corns are associated with Halloween, which is in October, and I’m posting this in May. The “candy corn” part of the recipe is aesthetics only – it tastes like full on summer, trust me. I decided to shoot some footage of me creating this recipe awhile back, and recently felt motivated to edit it together, so here’s to Halloween in May!

This fruit juice is sweet (also hence the word “candy” in the title) and tropical tasting, so kids will love it too, and it’s full of detoxifying properties and immune boosting vitamins. Plus, it’s easy to make and has simple ingredients. Serve it at your Halloween party or as a healthy alternative to sugary, artificial candy and processed juices. Either way, it will have you feeling energized and glowing! Check out the video and the full recipe below.

Ingredients You Will Need:

• 1 small navel orange, peeled and seeded
• 1/2 lemon, peeled and seeded
• 2-3 large carrots, unpeeled
• 1/4 pineapple, peeled
• 1 red apple, seeded
• 1/4 papaya, seeded

Steps:

1. After you wash the ingredients and remove seeds/peel as necessary, cut your fruit & veggies into small pieces, otherwise they may get stuck in the juicer.
2. Turn on your juicer and make sure you have your glass/cup below the spout!
3. Put a few pieces through the juicer at time, starting with the lighter colored fruits. Halfway through, juice the carrots to get the orange layer, and finish up with the rest of the lighter colored fruits. This will help you achieve the layered candy corn effect.
4. Enjoy!

If you truly wanted to get a candy corn appearance, you could add a dollop of coconut whip cream for the white tip! Either way, this juice is delicious and is the perfect alternative to store bought juices that contain a lot of additives. I hope you like this recipe and give it a try!
