If you knew me as a teenager you would laugh knowing I juice now. I was and still kind of am a eating anything kinda gal. I love me a big juicy burger and spaghetti without meatballs is a sin, oh and don't get me started on bacon! But.........
As some of you know I suffer from migraines and depression. And 2 out of three of my kids have ADD/ADHD (so far). So I decided to do a little research AKA reading "The Juicing Bible" and everything I found said eat more veggies. Now I'm by no means against veggies, I could eat me some asparagus with garlic salt all day long, but getting the amount of veggies you need to actually effect the issues is a whole other story.
So juicing helps address that issue. For example tonight I made this master piece.
That's 2 pounds of spinach, 3 beets with stems, 2 apples, 2 cucumbers, 1 yellow squash, 6 oz of blueberries and 1 pound of baby carrots. Oh and those 2 lemons in the background, but I used my citrus juicer to juice those. That's 4 day's worth of juice.
How do I make it palatable? So glad you asked. Frozen organic fruit! I buy frozen strawberries and frozen pineapples at Costco and blend them in my Vitamix.
I add about a cup of my juice to this other wise you just make very thick strawberry and pineapple ice cream. So it comes out looking like this:
Because it is still pretty thick and the bottles I use have a small opening, I funnel the smoothies mix into my bottles, filling it up about a third of the way.
Then I add my juice on top. I use this drink dispenser because it perfectly fits inside the open of the bottles.
I also add 3 tsb of Flax Seed Oil and shake it all up. And there you have it, 4 day's worth of 18 oz of healthy breakfast in about 45 minutes worth of work.
Find the product I use below or on my Amazon page. I only recommend product I own, use and love! And yes I do get a little commission if you purchase after clicking on of my links.
Thanks for sharing another adventure with me!
Stay safe, stay sane and stay absolutely splendid!

That looks awesome! So you can't taste the veggies at all? I hate the taste of most of the vegetables you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteNope, the fruits cover the taste! It's awesome!
