lets talk about the health trend juicing:
lots of people have gotten on it. and i now know why. it is a delicious way to get several nutrients from a variety of fruits and veggies. simply amazing. let me tell you why it is even more amazing, chad does not like a lot of vegetables... meaning this a way that we can "trick" his taste buds by getting them into his system.
it is pretty great!
we are not necessarily doing a cleanse or a juice diet. rather we are just trying to incorporate juice as a natural supplement to our relatively healthy diet. though i personally do not know a lot about the juice cleanse or diet itself, i know that too much of anything can be damaging to your body. so i am just going to say this with a grain of salt, but doing a permanent juice diet/cleanse may be one thought process of a diet but, the only way to truly regain a healthy lifestyle is by eating wholesome foods every day. not saying that juicing diets do not work, just my thoughts on dieting in general :)
anyway, we are loving juicing. there is something about getting all of those nutrients into your body as apart of your breakfast. your whole day seems to be a little bit better. we currently own brevile juicer plus because we wanted more a juice like texture. however i have heard GREAT things about the vitamix juicers (which are more like a smoothie). my old job had the vitamix juicer and it worked very well. the two kinds are very different from one another, but they are both awesome at what they do.
with that i going to leave one of our favorite juices that we have tried so far
green machine juice:
3-4 stocks of kale
1 handful spinach
1 pear
2 apples
1 lemon (peel on)
1 orange (peel off)
stock of celery
1 stock brocoli
handful of grapes
handful of fresh mint
have you tried juicing? what are your thoughts?
Juicing seems like an ideal way to become healthy! This actually sounds good! My husband and I have talked about juicing... we just need to get on it! Thanks for the recipe in advance!
ReplyDeleteyum! we've been doing A LOT of spinach smoothies around our house. it's a great meal on the run and a sure fire way to get all the nutrients you need!
ReplyDeleteI have been seeing so many posts on juicing. My Mother has a juicer, I tried it several years ago and never liked it. I know there are so many health benefits to incorporating more raw fruits and veggies into my diet though. I agree that a diet isn't really the way to go, it's a lifestyle change, it shouldn't be temporary. Good for you guys for juicing! I might have to give it another try!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try a juicer. But it's one of those things I never seem to get around to. Gonna have to try harder at that one huh? I'm so glad you are enjoying all the juice.

I'm a HUGE fan of juicing and blog about it all of the time. It is the best way to pump your body full of wonderful vitamins! I got really into it after watching Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead.

Great recipe! I can't quite get into juicing (it feels really wasteful/expensive to me), so I go with veggie heavy smoothies. It's the same concept but feels less wasteful personally. I do smoothies at least every other morning for breakfast paired with a boiled egg or two to keep me full. Keep up the juicing!
