Juicing
I’m really into drinking juice right now. Not Juicy-Juice but the 100% all natural fresh squeezed variety. I’ll hit up Jamba Juice after yoga and down a power-sized (that’s 32 oz) of fresh made carrot juice, or perhaps even OJ with blueberries blended in (fresh squeezed again). I’ll typically have at least 1 of these a day, usually in the morning.
I’ll also stop by a local juice-bar and get a green drink a few days a week, made with kale, cucumber, parsley, celery and wheatgrass. These are much better for me (detoxifying), but don’t give me the energy that the Carrot juice provides. I’ll drink this in the afternoon.
The more of this juice I drink, the less garbage I crave. It’s funny how that works.
I also have much more energy than normal and have shed about 5 pounds of blubber (my bodyfat scale NEVER lies!).
Perhaps the biggest change is, I just feel really happy most of the time. Not all of the time (I’m not on medication…) but most of the time. The only other change in my life during the past 3 weeks has been dietary, so there must be something to it.
Oh yeah….I just ordered a Vitamix. They have a new model coming out in a few weeks and I am already on the wait-list.
Hiya Ravis – yeah wheatgrass can definitely put energy into your day
It’s extremely good for you.
As for juicers, I use the Omega 8005 brand, it’s a little pricey but it juices everything and very easy to maintain. It doesn’t run too hot either, which is very beneficial for maintaining nutrient density. Some juicers kill enzymes by overheating the veggies and fruits as you juice.
There’s a bunch of my recommendations on my blog if you are looking for one – just check in the sidebar. Cheers!

Hey Juicing Recipes Guy!
I’ll try the wheatgrass. I starting visiting a local juice bar that makes green blend juices with wheatgrass and I am feeling the power!
btw… do you have any recommendations on juicer brands for purchase?

Good to hear you are into juicing. I have been doing it for years and it’s helped me so much. Have a blog on blogspot dedicated to juicing that you may want to check out.
I love the look of your blog!! Very nice presentation and not littered with ads, e.t.c… Is this a wordpress theme? Anyway, kudos on your juicing… Try to add wheat grass to some of your recipes, this one ingredient has boosted my energy levels 10 fold lately.
