Juicing
So, we bought a juicer about a month ago. Let me tell you, I LOVE juicing! I juice as often as possible. I mainly juice fruits for pre workout meals or post workout pick me ups.I've tried making detox juices with veggies and had a really hard time getting them down. One of things I love about juicing is that I re-use the fruit pulp as facial masks or I throw it in a pot of water on top of the stove to simmer and make my home smell fabulous! If you're not juicing, I highly recommend it. We bought the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer Express. It's easy to use, easy to clean and quiet. What are some of your favorite juicing recipes?
My favorite Pre or Post Workout Juice
6 fresh strawberries - tops cut off
1 orange - peeled
1 carrot
2 small or 1 large Granny Smith apple cored
Handful fresh blueberries
Handful fresh green grapes
Handful fresh baby spinach
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
ice cubes
Juice all fruit. I use a glass and do this in increments. When the glass gets too full, I pour the juice into my Protein powder shaker then continue juicing in the glass. When all fruit is juiced and poured into shaker, I add the protein powder on top and two ice cubes. Shake and enjoy. I found that if I put protein powder in shaker first and juice on top of powder that the powder has a harder time dissolving. Enjoy!
Happy Hump Day!
