The Power Juicer
I was sad to hear of Jack LaLanne's passing this past month. Many nights when I was up with hungry babies, I only had Jack LaLanne's infomercials to keep me company until the babies were asleep again. Even though I was intrigued, I never had an interest in buying Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer until Farmer Brown brought home some oranges. Three huge bags of oranges. On the Sunkist website, I found some great orange recipes to try and got out my old-fashioned juicer. It was just me and my arm power. It was a lot of work to get the dribble of juice that you needed.
By the way, Jack LaLanne was not a big fan of sugar or processed foods. He would not approve of this recipe. Of course, that was his body. We won't post a picture of mine.
