Juicing: Yum yum yum!

I must say that Justin has great ideas! One of his great ideas was to purchase a juicer. We decided that juicing was a great way to consume more fruits and veggies. We also would be able to experiment with different flavours. He did some research and read lots of reviews and the one he wanted to get was a Breville Juice Fountain. (Which we found out later also appears on the documentary Hungry for Change) So during Boxing Week we found a decent deal on Amazon and a few days later this ginormous box appeared on my doorstep.

Of course, I waited for Justin to come home to open it up (after all, it was his idea) and then the fun began! This machine is a beauty! It has a giant hole at the top where fruits and veggies go in and vroom vroom! Juice comes out one side and pulp comes out another. Not to mention it is very easy to clean!

I love juicing! I try to make one everyday and they taste dee-lish-us :) My favourite is a green juice made with cucumbers, kale, celery, apples and lime. I also like a tropical treat once in awhile so I mix oranges, pineapple and apples to make that. Sometimes I'll throw in a carrot to give it a veggie spin.
And of course who doesn't love fresh orange juice?

The amazing part about juicing is that you can never really mess up because there aren't really recipes. It is fun to play with different veggies and fruits that make different creations! I find 90% of our grocery list consists of just fruits and vegetables just so we can juice. This looks great when you're walking through the grocery aisles with a colourful shopping cart... :)
