My new juicer arrived today! Woot!
The kids and I had agreed to try eating healthier this year so I thought, what better way to do it than to try consuming more fruits and vegetables including fresh juices. I spent the remnants of an Amazon gift card that I received for Christmas (thanks to my generous brother) and bought a juice extractor.
Gorgeous tomatoes on the vine were on sale at the grocery store this week so for my first homemade juice, I decided on a simple but zesty veggie concoction. I added a small bunch of arugula and a dollop of Sriracha sauce at the end which gave it a peppery zing. Finally, I finished it off with a dash of pepper and a twist of lime and I had a nice and healthy mid-afternoon "cocktail".

Add the tomatoes, celery and arugula to your juicer. Stir in the Sriracha or Tabasco sauce. Pour into a glass then top with pepper and garnish with the wedge of lime. Squeeze the lime into the juice before drinking. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
