After overloading you with cake recipes last week I really thought I should lighten the load today. So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve taken some ordinary apple juice and added a basketful of wholesome ingredients to bring to you, fresh from my blender, this superbly happy, blushing in the glass, Apple Fig Blackcurrant Pear & Carrot Juice. It sits there looking smug. A bit like a triple chocolate layer cake… only ever so slightly more healthy. And more pink.
Definitely more pink.
Um… do I actually need to continue or has the list of goodies thrown into the mix and the beautiful colour already sold you on this wonderful juice?
I’ve classed this drink as a juice, due to the large volume of liquid to fruit, but really, it’s midway between a juice and a smoothie (due to the large volume of solid fruit & veg blended in). No really, it’s definitely a juice… I think. Regardless, it is a fresh, fruity, bounty of flavours all partying in my blender like it’s 1999.
Each glassful of this juice is bright, cheerful and guaranteed to satiate any rumbly tummy that’s trying to resist opening the cookie jar. Go blend.

I love that you put figs in this juice! How did you find them this time of year? They are available for such a short time around here.
Jane Saunders
Hi Meghan, I’m a little sad to confess that they are available pretty much year round in the UK. Likewise the old joys of summer like strawberries & raspberries. On the one hand it’s good, but you really have to be selective where you buy them from though when it’s not their true season.

I am just starting to love figs! My friend has a tree in his yard and I have been stealing some a few at a time. Don’t tell him:) Going to round up some currants and make this juice:)
Jane Saunders
Oh my – I love your friend. Just make him some of the juice if he ever catches you 😉

I love fig but really never though of juicing it! Carrot, we do it a lot and I love it’s mild sweetness. This combination of yours looks so delicious, I would love to try it myself!
Jane Saunders
I hope you do try it Shadi. The flavours seem to blend well together – subtle floral notes of pear & fig mixed in with tart apple & blackcurrants. Carrot boosts the sweetness and it’s a good start on getting my kids used to veg in juices 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
