Well hello! Welcome to Spice & Hutch. It’s been a minute since the last time I posted here, and I must say, it feels good to dust off the ol’ blog with a splash of fresh juice. I bring you blood orange, ginger, and beetroot juice. This concoction is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and a bunch of other benefits that you can read about on Healthline.com. Also, it tastes amazing.

recipe

  • 6 blood oranges

  • 6 red beets

  • 5 carrots

  • 8 oz fresh ginger

  1. Chill your glassware in the freezer.

  2. Wash, scrub, and peel the ingredients. Arrange them on a large plate.

  3. Turn your juicer* on low and push the oranges through one at a time. Change the speed to high and push through the ginger, carrots, and beets.

  4. Switch off the machine. Give the juice a good stir, pour into the chilled glassware, and voila!

*If you do not own a juicer, then I recommend buying one pronto. You’ll thank me later. I use a centrifugal juicer by Breville, which makes superior applicances.

Here's a rare glimpse of my weekday food regimen. Despite what you see on Spice & Hutch, I eat healthy most of the time. I share recipes and photos for party food because I think it's wayyy more fun than the healthy stuff. I mean, let's face it: I would rather feast my eyes on salmon rillettes & brioche than a spinach salad. 

But I digress. If you're looking for a new kickstart to your day or a summery BBQ beverage, try my watermelon and mint juice. It's a crowd pleaser and super easy to make!

recipe

  • 1 large watermelon
  • 2 large handfuls fresh mint
  • 4 limes
  1. Cut the watermelon in half. Scoop out the filling with a spoon and place in a large bowl. Strip the mint leaves from their stems. Peel the limes.
  2. Run the ingredients through a juicer. I use a Breville and it's life-changing.
  3. Pour the juice into a glass pitcher and refrigerate for 1 hour.
