Consider me officially addicted to juicing. This thing is doing wonders over here in my overall physical and mental health. Brad and I have been waking up together every morning to juice together. It is amazing how starting off the day with natural nutrients gives me so much more energy. I stay full for a few hours, but the real difference I notice is the foods that my body now craves. I don't crave crap anymore. The first few days I had major headaches, most likely due to no processed sugar, but now I feel amazing. I know it has only been a week, but I'm already starting to feel different. Let's hope that I can keep this juicing thing up, because it does all types of wonders for this body of mine. No more bloating, a healthy digestive tract, and l don't need as much coffee {I know, crazy right?!} . Don't worry, I still have my daily cup of joe, but I crave juice now in the morning.
Here is my favorite juice recipe so far...
{This recipe is for one person, so usually I double the ingredients when I juice for Brad and I}
*6 leafs of kale {I use 2 different types of kale}
*3 large carrots
*1 medium beet
*1 green apple
*1 thumb size piece of ginger
Pure healthy goodness! My body is cheering inside.
Do you have a favorite juicing recipe?
Loks delicious! That combination sounds great!
ReplyDeleteDo you use paper straws?
That combo sounds great! Our favorite was just a simple apple and carrot juice; about 6 carrots to 2 apples. It tasted the best. We also tried one with honeydew melon, mint, lemon, pear, and apple, and it was really good too!

Yum! I love these ingredients but haven't ever used them all together. I love adding cucumbers to my green juices - so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteBeen juicing for a couple of years and you're right, it's amazing how much your body craves it!

Morning: Orange, Carrot, Ginger, Orange Beet

ReplyDeletedo you use a special blender such as the vitamix
ReplyDeletewhat juicer do you have?
ReplyDeletelooks yummy!
this seems to be everyone's fave. man i need to buy a juicer so i can try!
ReplyDeleteI do love for a treat sweet potato and pineapple.
ReplyDeleteI love swiss chard in juice too.
I have to try this - quick question: does the beet need to be raw? And which juicer do you use? I'm sure being a juicing-a-holic is much more healthy than being a coffee-addict ;-))
ReplyDeleteI have to try this! Quick question: does the beet need to be raw? And which juicer do you use? Being a juicing-a-holic is for sure much more healthy for your body :))
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is 2 pears, a 1" piece of ginger, half a lime, 1 cup packed of spinach or kale, and 4 celery stalks. I use the vitamix and blend with ice, but the original recipe is for a juicer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the juicing tips and recipes! For those of you wondering what kind of juicer I have, it's a Hamilton Beach.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Juicing is so good for you plus there are tons of yummy juices! Thanks for all the recipes and tips!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your straws? I love them! So cute.
