Forget about spicy meatballs, spicy juice is the way to go!

Located in two New York locations, Melvin's Juicebox gives customers "full healing and preventative benefits of organic juice" all while being a delicious, quick drink. Ali Rosen of Potluck Video sat down with Melvin Major Jr to learn all about his juicing techniques and how exactly he adds a spicy kick to some of his drink recipes.  Melvin has 20 years of blending experience and some might call him a juicing legend.

While juicing with a certain level of spice as the goal, Melvin says, "Radish makes a little bit of spice to it. It's not a spicey spice, but it gives a nice, different taste." Other ingredients recommended by Melvin are Articokes, Scotch Bonnet Peppers (a variety of the chili pepper), and Red Peppers. Melvin also suggests Cayenne Pepper to be lightly sprinkled into any drink to add a kick.

When making any spicy drink, Melvin suggests starting with the hot ingredients followed by greens (any leafy green vegetable) and Apple slices. This process cleans out the spicy ingredients for the next drink to be blended with ease.

The next time you're jucing, try experimenting with spice to have a new, healthy beverage experience.
