Mmm Mmm JUICE!

I have fallen in love all over again with our juicer! We separated for a good year. I grew sick of what a pain in the you-know-what it is to clean...you know. I already have to pick up after a husband, but a juicer on top of it all? Ha...I kid, well sort of. :) Little did I know, all I needed was some strategery (thank you G Bush for my all time favorite word!).

Juicer Strategery:
  • Plug and fill up your sick with warm, soapy water.
  • After dumping out all the pulp from the juicer pieces into the trashcan, plop them all into the soapy water.
  • Ta-da! Now, you can juice at the optimal time (for breakfast) before work in the morning, let the dishes soak while you're at work, then easily/quickly wash them at night. Then, wake up and repeat!

There is nothing quite like the way you feel after drinking fresh apples, lemons, oranges, beets, carrots, celery, asparagus, spinach, and ginger all in the form of a refreshingly cold glass of juice. I truly, honestly, feel amazing. I feel like I have a stocked up arsenal of antioxidants, flavanoids, vitamins, and minerals ready to combat any signs of fatigure, stress, or sickness that may creep up in the day! Not only do I feel better, I look better too. My hair, skin, and nails no doubt benefit from it.

It's also the perfect way to use up any fruits or veggies you weren't able to eat during the week - just throw them in the juicer and drink them before they go bad. I've created some really tasty blends this way!

There is no better lemonade than fresh apples and lemons (both with skin on!) juiced...perfect for summer! Much healthier than that crappy powdered mechanically engineered lemonade you buy in the store too...not only are you drinking the fresh juice from both fruits, you are reaping benefits from the skins and seeds juiced as well!

So, if you have ever been considering a juicer...go on, buy it! It may be somewhat pricy up front (I think Costco is selling a newer version of our model for $85), but it is way worth the investment in your health!

Mmmm Mmmmm...JUICE!
