JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! JUICE! ERRRYBODAYYYYY
I used to juice like a mad woman. Like I LIVED for my morning and afternoon juices. I also LIVED for the gym. I would never say it was an unhealthy living, but I was definitely extremely submerged into health and fitness. Then I got Preston and everything changed. I swear, she’s a taste of what its like to have a kid…
Any who, I fell off that bandwagon but never stopped loving juice. I also crashed into a ton of tummy problems that eliminated almost ALL greens from my diet. NO salads guys, like what??
So, one day I had a 💡 and instantly went and bought myself a juicer. If I cant eat them, why aren’t I DRINKING them again?? Minus all the fiber that makes me sick and I get my green intake! GENIUS!
I got a cheaper juicer to start with. I want to make sure Im not going to get sick + that I use it enough to make the big purchase worthwhile. I do that with a lot of stuff 🙄
This is the one I’ll be buying at some point or maybe mike will surprise me with it 😉 He posts my blogs so I wonder if he will see this he he he ** UPDATE: This is the one I am currently using-- WORTH EVERY PENNY!!)
With all that said, I figured I’d share my favorite recipes here and keep them going as I try new things!
