Due to some recent health issues of mine we've revisited the topic of juicing. It'll be good for weightloss, but also just an easy way to incorporate more fresh fruits & veggies. And avoiding added sugars and carbs. It's not going to be easy, since I love food...and junk food. But I'm really committed to getting better things in my system!
Yesterday we went to Bed Bath & Beyond, and using one of their awesome 20% off coupons we purchased a Breville juicer! We used it for the first time tonight... ah-maz-ing! First, that thing has power! Second, we have NEVER juiced before so we weren't really sure on fruit/veggie combos to make a yummy juice. It was SO simple!
Here's our first step into juicing:
CarAppEar Juice
- 4 carrots
- 1 large apple
- 1 pear
It turned out so fantastic, my husband chugged most of it and I whipped up another batch right away! Our Pumpkin & Junebug even enjoyed a few sips =)
Yum! We got a Breville juicer a couple of weeks ago, too. I haven't had a bad drink yet! Our go to seems to be carrots, a handful of spinach, an apple, and a couple of strawberries. We also threw a banana in there one time... I was like, can you juice a banana? We'll find out! Sure enough the banana added tons of flavor. We eat tons of fruit already so our drinks tend to have mostly veggies with a fruit or two thrown in there for flavor.
ReplyDeleteI had been saving the bananas for smoothies, so good to know they work well, too! I think I was scared the veggie-heavy ones wouldn't taste good to me, so we eased into it =)
