Juicing - Day 3

Carrot-Green Pepper

 

Okay so this has been by far the worst tasting anything ever.  Gagged numerous times trying to drink it.  Probably doesn't help that I dislike green peppers.  Chris thought both Lauren and I were wusses and had no problem finishing ours off.

Ingredients
6 carrots
1/2 green pepper
1 handful of rolled up kale leaves

Look: Pale orange with a green tinge.
Texture: Pretty much entirely liquid.
Taste: Disgusting.  Sad because I love carrots but this was ga-ross!

Juicing - Day 2

Cucumber Apple

This is my first attempt at a vegetable juice.  It wasn't too bad though - very healthy that's for sure!  Very good to help cleanse your liver.

Ingredients
1 cucumber
1 apple
2 tsps of fresh parsley (roll up a big bunch into a ball so the machine will juice it properly!)

Look: It's... green.  That is all
Texture: Liquid... I could taste a TINY bit of cucumber pulp but that was it.
Taste: I did not particularly like it.  BUT I included the skin of the cucumber, which you apparently aren't supposed to do because it has a very bitter taste.  I'll keep you posted when I try one without the skin!

Let me know in the comments what your favourite juicing recipe is and maybe I'll try it this week! :)

Adventures in Health: Juicing - Day 1

Hey girls!

So in my attempt to be healthier (especially after my trip to Texas) I decided to do a little research on juicing.  What would be easier than downing a glass consisting of 10 carrots, an apple and 2 stalks of celery?  Vegetables intake for the day = DONE!  Right? ... Right?

Although not an expert, I did do a bit of research on the topic and here are the 3 primary benefits of juicing:
