Fennel-Infused Pear Limeade

this recipe

Fennel Infused Pear Limeade is a perfect morning refresher and sure to become one of your newest fall favorites. While not quite the traditional introduction to fall, this Fennel Infused Pear Limeade packs a nutritional punch. Full of flavor and nutrients, this green juice is one of my go to September morning drinks.

With Bartlett Pears just coming into season, I was looking for something a little non traditional that would be quick and easy in the kitchen. The sweetness of pear nectar infused with fennel and lime creates a delicious autumn flavor. Taking less than 15 minutes to make, it is easy and nutritional....just chop, juice and go!

Inspired by Williams Sonoma Salad of the Day, I hope you love this refreshingly nutritious drink as much as I do.

All about Fennel

Fennel is often an underrated juicing ingredient. A flavorful culinary herb, it is low calorie and packed with nutrients.  With subtle hints of licorice, its large white bulbs are an excellent source of  vitamin C, a principal nutrient for overall immune health.  Have digestive issues, fennel helps there too!! Full of antioxidants, fennel aids your digestive tract in breaking down foods and absorbing their nutrients.  Bottom line is fennel is nutrient dense. It supports overall health in everything from blood pressure, heart health, immunity, inflammation, metabolism, digestion, iron and skin.

Tips for Storing Juice 

1. Juice will stay fresh on average 48 to 72 hours if refrigerated. Seal your juice in a mason jar or other airtight container.
2. Air bubbles can leave your juice prone to discoloration and the development of off-flavors. Simply, top off the container and spoon out any air bubbles before sealing.
3. Freeze, freeze, freeze. Short on time, make your juices ahead of time, store in your freezer and enjoy when ready. Juices can be frozen for up to 10 days.

Pin Recipe

• Total Time: 15 minutes
• Yield: 16 ounces 1x

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 16 ounces or 4 handfuls arugula
• 2 fennel bulbs
• 2 bartlett pears
• ½ - 1 lime (to taste)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Instructions:
2. First, clean and cut all of your veggies and fruit.
3. Starting with the arugula, roll large handfuls of the leaves and cut into thin strips. This will help feed the arugula through the shoot of your juicer.
4. Next, slice the white bulb of your fennel. I like to cut these roughly the size of an apple slice.
5. Alternating between the arugula and fennel, feed into your juicer. The fennel will help push the argula through the juicer.
6. Repeat with your sliced pears and peeled lime until all produce has been juiced. Additionally, the lime can be hand squeezed. The hand squeeze method will help you control the tartness of your drink with more accuracy.
7. Remove any air bubbles or foam that has surfaced to the top of your drink. This is easily done with a spoon.
8. If you prefer to remove the pulp prior to drinking, strain the juice through a cheesecloth.
9. Pour in your favorite glass and enjoy!!
