Alessi Orange Basket

Freshly squeezed orange juice contains all the right ingredients — just pure orange juice. Store-bought orange juice is loaded with unnecessary sugar and calories and lacks the vitamin richness of freshly squeezed orange juice. One woman who follows me shared that she accidentally lost 10 pounds after she stopped drinking orange juice from the carton. I'm not surprised!

You’ll taste and feel the difference when you trade in the carton of orange juice for fresh-squeezed. Use a handheld or stand juicer to produce fresh orange juice for your family in seconds.

Display your oranges on the counter in a basket like this one from the Italian designer Alessi. Filled with fresh oranges, it will brighten up your kitchen decor and remind you to use oranges for an easy dinner idea.

A stand juicer makes juicing a breeze, and cleanup is easy. Children can use this and lend a hand in the kitchen. I love the look and feel of a stand juicer, but you may prefer a smaller electric model that you can tuck away in the cabinet.

Get more out of your oranges by using them to help you figure out what’s for dinner by adding a no-cook dessert course to your family dinner.

Serve oranges, rosemary, and gelato ...

... or oranges, raspberries, and chocolate, for a fresh and mouthwatering dish.

Making a dessert course to add to your dinner takes only minutes and helps you conveniently serve enough food to satisfy and delight everyone.

Ciao for now!

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

  • Accidental Weight Loss!

    “I don't know if I told you, but I accidentally lost about 8 lbs after cutting out most semi-processed foods!"
