Juicing makes me insanely happy.

It’s usually green, but I had to hold back on posting yet ANOTHER green recipe, so I went with more of a beginner juice – maybe a good option for those who can’t get on the green juice/smoothie bandwagon.

I’m a big believer in “a juice a day, keeps the doctor away.” So far, it’s proven to be true for me.

Health Benefits of Juicing

It’s another way to get in your fruits and vegetables
Gives you a concentrated dose of vitamins & enzymes, which are usually killed off by the heat in the cooking process
Fresh juice is easier for the body to digest than whole fruits and vegetables
Juicing extracts as much nutrients from the fruits and vegetables as possible without activating the body’s digestion
Promotes weight loss, increases energy and longevity

Juicing VS. Blending – one is not better than the other, both are very different, but very good for you!

Two different devices – Juicer and a blender
Juicing removed fiber. Blending give you fiber.
Carrots, celery, apples, fennel, etc. are better juiced than blended. Avocado, milk, berries, etc. are better blended – in my opinion
Blending is a way to get solid nutrition – this is good for those with sensitive bellies to get full meals

Ever since I was sick, I have a difficult time eating certain fruits and vegetables.

I’ll cook, steam, roast, and sometime blend them. Anyway I can get them into my body without having a reaction or causing discomfort and I’m a very happy girl.

It wasn’t until recently that I got into juicing and now, I can’t go a day without one.

Good news for those who don’t have a juicer, you can get one without spending a fortune.

This is our basic juicer. It’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

If you have a juicer that you love and recommend, please include it in the comment section below that those who are interested will have something to consider or compare.
