JUICE!

I recently overheard someone talking about how her and her husband love their new Juicer, so I decided to check them out.  I found that you can buy a new juicer from anymore between $30 and $500!  I'm not entirely sure why anyone would ever need a $500 juicer.  Anyway, I decided to go with the $30 Target juicer.

...Amazing!  The first night I whipped the box open and threw everything in I had in my fridge (it wasn't much) including apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, and carrots.  Surprisingly enough, even with all the weird combinations, the juice was delicious!  And I had a ton of energy after I drank it!

You may ask, so what is the difference between using a juicer and actually blending the fruit together?  A juicer will extract the juice, and only the juice, from the fruit and vegetables. All the pulp and fiber is removed which allows the nutrients to assimilate very quickly into your body and bloodstream – this gives your immune system an immediate boost and feeds your cells quick, healing nutrition. A smoothie is a blend of whole foods. Nothing is removed (except for non-edible things, like the peel of a banana).

When you juice, you can drink the nutrients of TONS of fruits/vegetables in one glass, since the pulp/fiber is left behind. Your digestive system gets a break because there are no solids to break down.

I'm really looking forward to experimenting with my juicer and adding nutrition loaded juice to my diet. I'll attach some great juice recipes in my next post!
