Chef Noah--- Watermelon/Celery juice: healthier Gatorade

Did you know that celery is a great form of natural sodium?  And that watermelon is made up of almost all water?  Is it any wonder that combining the two foods would made a great sports drink?  It's also DELICIOUS!

Since I was planning for an out of town meeting, we only had one "chef" event this week.  Noah made Watermelon/Celery juice using our Champion juicer.

For those of you interesting in juicing vegetables for family health advantages or disease/illness recovery, it's important to invest in a good juicer that is also easy to clean.  We've found if it's not easy clean-up, usage declines.

If you google Champion juicers, you can get a better price online than in any health food store (under $200).  You can also check Craig's list for used Champions.  This is my favorite brand of juicer because it not only is great for juicing, easy clean-up, but it also makes wonderful fruit sorbets that are the consistency of soft-serve ice-cream (more to come on that in Noah's "Chef" meal next week).

Chop the watermelon and celery.  You do not need to remove seeds-- they can be put through juicer along with the watermelon flesh.

Celery should be put through at the end of the juicing, because the celery stringy fiber tends to get caught up in the gears and can slow down the process unless saved til the end.

Noah has always loved to help with the juicing.

We'll include more juice recipes in future entries.
Enjoy!
