Lets talk Juice!

Juicing, Fasting, Juice Detox, Juice Cleanse, all the same..... Its juice! Sweet nutritious juice! Not all juices are created equal, not all fruits are created equal, especially because so many of us have dietary needs and restrictions. But juicing is a great, i repeat GREAT way to cleanse your body and even shed some weight! When you tell someone your juicing the looks are hilarious,  and even some are super interested in knowing how and why. Juicing has to be customized for each person, i myself looovvveee food so doing 2 weeks of juicing with no food is 110% off the table for me, so i customized it, i would have a juice meal for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner! And it has never been easier. I even made a mango "ice cream" to help kick the cravings. Overall this method has worked tremendous for me and my husband, he is actually still going, and i lost 10 lbs in just a week and half! Juicing though has a down side, 1. Your senses will be hightened, i could smell the persons lunch in the building next door lol 2. You will be tired, very very tired. But i had coffee, i know bad bad me 3. The first 2 days will suck, suck suck suck, so i would suggest starting on a sat. Please do all the research you can if you have any type of medication needs or restrictions. Knowledge is key!   

But enough of that! Here are my favorite juices, some i made up, but the strawberry, blueberry, apple & green juice is from fitlife.tv its a great website with some more awesome tips and recipes. 

Here is my hubbys favorite because he is wierd LOL 

6 Carrots

1 Apple  ( i use 2 apple because ick carrots) 

 This is myyyyyy favorite, ooh la la 

You would think it would be a high citris taste but its not, its perfection! LOL 

Also your stomach is hard on heavy citris i would suggest adding 1/2 inch of ginger root to help ease the stomach. (For any juice) 

1/2 a pinapple

1 Texas Grapefruit

A handful of Strawberries

A handful of Blueberries

1/2 Cucumber 

1 apple

1/2 Lemon 

1 Rib of celery 

2 Handfuls of spinach

yumm!  

So this was not my first rodeo with the bull called juice! (LOL) we have done this a few times over the past year, our first attempt we failed, the first day, and the 2nd, and 3rd. But when we customized it to our wants and needs it was sooo easy! Now we make our juices for breakfast and lunch the night before because we are sooo tired LOL we have a Breville Juicer, we splurged, but after tons of runs, its great, but any juicer would work great! Before i forget here is the mango "ice cream" !!! Enjoy! 

Ooohhhhh 

I bought a bag of organic frozen mangos, only ingredient, mangos. Placed into my food processor for 1 min, scraped the walls of the processor, then another min or two until it has a smooth cream like texture!! We still do this for normal sweet cravings! Thats it! I used half the bag for 2 scoops!
