So my juicer came in the mail yesterday! It is definitely not top of the line, but it gets the job done for now. Plus if anything breaks overstock will replace it.
Last night I made juice with 1 apple, 4 carrots, 2 beets, 3 leaves of rainbow chard, and a piece of ginger. It was super yummy, although I've learned to use ginger in moderation...super spicy! This morning my little helper helped me make apple, carrot, and chard juice which we are both enjoying at the moment. It's amazing how great fresh juice tastes compared to the bottled stuff from the grocery store. The organic 100% juice is better than anything else at the store obviously, but this fresh stuff really takes the cake. I found my juicer for about $85 with a 2 year replacement plan, and like I said it isn't top of the line, but it gets a good amount of juice and it gets the job done.
I'm going to start by just adding juice in a couple times a day instead of snacks, then slowly I'll replace a meal at a time with it. I will probably keep one serving of protein at lunch, but other than that I'd like to be primarily juicing within the next month or so.
I've also had an awesome idea for Sophia's birthday cake! I was going to make it either chocolate or vanilla because I didn't want to use artificial dyes, but fresh juice will totally work! Beets for pink, carrots for orange, spinach or kale for green, blueberries for blue/purple, etc. I can't wait til we get closer to her birthday so I can experiment!
