When I lived with my parents, they had this obsession with juicing, and bought the Jack LaLaine juicer, until that broke and then they got a cheaper model that did just about the same thing. I was spoiled, and they would make me juice every morning before I would go to school. I loved it! When I moved out, I didn't really have much opportunity to get a juicer because 1. it's loud 2. it's really big and takes a lot of space.
What I didn't realize is that because of the juicer, I would loose some essential vitamins, fibers and other benefits from the actual part of the fruit, that the juicers would just extract and we would throw away. Talk about co$tly.
Then I got sucked into late night informercials, and was sold.. on the NutriBullet. My parents have the Magic Bullet as well, and they love it for smoothies, and easy prep work for food.
I decided to get myself a little Christmas present for the apartment, so that I could keep my health in mind, and not constantly pig out because let's be honest.. I gained some weight once I moved out, and I'm not dissatisfied with how I look but my frame is definitely not used to the packed on pounds. I have constant back problems, and honestly my mood has not been so great because of all the processed foods I've been eating.
But now is a time for change! So I've been juicing/smoothies all the time, everyday and I feel great! I will probably start posting my favorite concoctions here from now on for anyone who wants to try it out. If you're in the area I would totally throw a Juice party ;)
So I get a big mug, and two small mugs. I try to use the big mug each time so that I can get the full amount of fruits and vegetables for the day. This drink was awesome..
-Pineapples
-Apples
-Carrots
-Tomatoes
Easy as that!
Okay now back to studying, healthy drinking!
Bye for now,
