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!

I like helping people in any way I can especially with their fitness goals. I enjoy the outdoors, watching movies in bed with my husband, HGTV, the Food Network and just living as simple life as I can. I don't like being rushed, or running from place to place. Life is meant to be enjoyed and savored. Smile, laugh, love and give hugs as much as possible. Stop and breathe.
