Getting Juicy!!

February 21, 2014

A lot of 80/10/10 er's a.k.a. High Carb Low Fat Raw Vegan's or Low Fat Raw Vegan's don't favor juicing. Juicing removes the fiber from fruits & veggies making them a non WHOLE food and therefore shouldn't be relied on as constant meals. That being said...you get SO MANY nutrients because you can drink TONS more than you can eat so it's really a WONDERFUL way to load up on those nutrients and assist you in your health! So I like to eat them as a 'every couple of days' meal! So drink up!

Here are two of my favorites I shall share with you!

CITRUS BLISS:

I use this awesome juice press!

You don't need one of these but hey...having one is niiiiiiice!!

8 oranges

3-4 grapefruits

1 lemon

1 lime

Cut in half. Quarter grapefruits if extra large.

Juice those puppies:

Voilá!

Put into a couple of containers:

Top off with some pure water if you desire to dilute it a bit, then off you go!

POMM JUICE:

SOUL-SHINE JUICE:

This is my favorite juice of the moment

And I can't take credit for it cuz this fabulous girl, whom you MUST subscribe to on YouTube, is the creator of it but...I modified it a bit..:)

You need a JUICER! But if you don't have one you can just user your blender & strain the pulp! Ha!

This is my all powerful juicer:

Ingredients:

6-8 organic apples

1 organic Cucumber

1 Lemon

1 whole head of organic celery

1 Head of organic Romaine

1/2 lb of organic baby spinach

Organic baby Kale to your liking

Now you're good to go!

That's what I love about making juices and smoothies they are the BEST "take with you" food to go where ever you need to go! IMHO. They nutrify you so much that you are so satisfied and don't want to put any garbaaaahge into you glorious bodiliscious! Seriously.

Juice up!

Seize the day!!

XOXO

Smoothilisciousness!

Posting some delicious smoothie combos for your blending pleasure! :D

I just want to point out that FRESH is ALWAYS best!! RIPE is ESSENTIAL in eating raw fruits!! You HAVE to learn when fruit is ripe!! Bananas (Naner's as I like to call them..) are ripe when they have spots! Sugar spots!! The more the sweeter and for making smoothies Naner's are the creamy BASE. So ripen those babies up before you eat 'em!! They should smell SWEET not like STARCH.

One of these (or one comparable like the Vitmix) are most desirable for powerful blending:

PINEAPPLE WHIP:

6 Oranges

Frozen (or fresh of course) Pineapple (Costco) to your liking. Blend her up!

BAM!! Can you say, "Better than soft serve sorbet??" Oh yeah!!!!

BERRY NICE:

2 c. Pure Water, 7 RIPE Bananas, 3-4 c. Organic Baby Kale (Costco) & 3-4 c. Organic Triple Berry (Blackberry, Strawberry, Blueberry) Blend (Costco)

Green Smoothies are a FABULOUS way to get those green in! I try to eat at least A HEAD (1 lb.) of ORGANIC green lettuces (romaine, spinach, kale, etc.) in a day!! Yup. You need that much or more if you are an athlete. Eat a bunch in a smoothie and then have a salad at dinner everyday & you should be good! :)
