Juicing? Not me.

I always thought I would never “Juice”. I eat good. I eat lots of fruits and raw vegetables. Of course, I never REALLY looked into it. Well, now I have… and I REALLY look forward to a juice each day and I miss it when I don’t have one.  The book “Hungry for Change” is what changed my mind, and now we have a NUTRi BULLET, which I LOVE and the books and manuals that came with it are awesome! I know there could possibly be better and there are more expensive juicers out there, but this works for us. Most of our juices have kale or spinach, any fruit that we have, sometimes Spirulina (which “Hungry for Change” talks about), water and ice. The NUTRi BULLET gives many different options to help different areas of health. Two recipes that we use are:

Recipe #1

• Celery
• Cucumber
• Kale leaves
• handful of fresh parsley
• Lemon or orange
• Apple
• water and ice
• Spirulina (if you have it)

Recipe #2 

• Kale or Spinach
• Any fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, grapes)
• 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds or walnuts
• water and ice

We mix these up in so many ways.  We always have kale or spinach. The fruit varies. We like adding spirulina or some type of nuts if we have them. Sometimes we use coconut water as well which is yummy.

Today we had kale, an apple, some mango slices, sunflower seeds, water and ice.

I have heard good reviews of many different juicers, but I can only brag about the NUTRi BULLET because that is the only one we have personally used. We used our blender for months before getting it and our blender worked great.

For our kids, we modify it a little to make it better and to get them to drink eat. We put mostly fruit, a little green and we usually leave the nuts out.  Sometimes I add some local honey to make it sweeter. We make them smoothies a lot, but we will talk about those in another post.

Slow down…enjoy today and try a juice! Let me know how it goes!
