Edible Flowers Are the New Juicing Craze

Woman cannot live on kale alone

Juicing is obviously a ginormous trend, but the same old orange-beet-pineapple combo gets to be a snore. Wake up your healthy routine with these recipes (which are really more guidelines) from Daniel Winer, a juicing advocate and the owner of Juicepresso. All can be made in the same juicer you're using for those kale concoctions every morning.

green sunflower juice

Green Sunflower Juice

Sunflower petals have a bittersweet, artichoke-like flavor. Take four organic sunflower petals and add them to three medium-sized carrots, a bit of ginger, a bunch of kale and three celery stalks. Blend.

dandelion lemonade

Dandelion Grape Juice

Blend four dandelion blossoms with about 50 seedless grapes, a ½ ounce of agave syrup and 5 ounces of carbonated water. Serve over a cup of finely crushed ice.

refreshing rose

Refreshing Rose Juice

Rosewater has long added mild, fruity flavor to desserts. Take a kiwi, four romaine leaves, a half-dozen strawberries, a handful of mint and half a peeled lime, and blend it all with four organic rose petals.

spring tulip juice

Spring Tulip Juice

Who knew? Tulips taste like a slightly sweet green veggie. Add three petals to two cups of OJ, then toss in a handful of kale, a whole lemon and a cucumber.

strawberry hibiscus juice

Strawberry Hibiscus Juice

Hibiscus flowers have an exotic taste--citrusy and cranberry-tart. Use a couple petals in a juice with eight strawberries, half a mango, a handful of mint and a cucumber.
