Greetings my Costa food freaks,

You might be wondering why I was on TV making fresh delicious juice. I love to play with cool kitchen toys and this juicer was way cool. Secondly fresh juices offer incredible health benefits and the taste of fresh produce blended together or by itself is out of this world. The ability to utilize the nutrients of the skin and rind of the produce creates a whole new world of flavor opportunities.

At Costa Vida we use the natural juices to create unique flavor profiles in our food. The juice of cilantro, jalapeno, limes and tomatoes add intense flavor to the Pico de Gallo. The addition of fresh serrano juice and pulp give the kick needed to produce the salsa fresca. The fresh raspberry juice and raspberry pulp combined with the roasted chipotle peppers make the raspberry chipotle sauce to die for.

Vegetable juices are also a great medium in cooking rice, pasta and potatoes. The juices add flavor to any dish that requires liquid in the cooking process. You can also add back in the pulp that was extracted from the juicing process to create texture and substance to the dishes that you are preparing.

When I juiced fresh grapes, whole limes, pineapple, oranges and strawberries, I produced a concoction of Biblical proportion that made me feel warm and fuzzy all over and my love for the juicer toy increased.

Cool Kitchen Toys (juicer)+Fresh Fruits and Veggies=Party in your Mouth

P.S. The almost dance like moves in the video are merely the intense affect of the juice party that was grooving in my mouth

Keep it Hot, Keep it Cold, Keep in Fresh
