This is the juicer that I have, and I LOVE. I know it's kind of on the cheaper end of things, but we got it for Christmas...and I CANNOT live without it. I juice for me and my husband every morning, and if I don't make it then by about 9:00 I can actually feel my body craving it. I know it sounds weird, but it is sooo true! My favorite juice is greeeeeen, and it gets me going like 5 cups of coffee without the shakes. My secret recipe is as follows:
3 or 4 stalks of kale
1 cucumber
3 or 4 red apples
1 or 2 stalks of celery
This juice is AMAZING! I highly highly highly recommend it. Juicing will change your life. :) I notice differences in my skin, nails, hair, energy levels, digestion... the list goes on. :) I'm a firm believer in juicing on every level and although the above is my favorite... variety is key. :) So happy juicing and if you have any good recipes you'd like to share, I would LOVE to hear them. :)

Flax Fix

I found a new additive for my afternoon smoothie... Coming in at 270 calories I find this TOTALLY worth it :)
- 1 scoop whey protein (vanilla)
- 1 cup silk vanilla light
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/3 frozen banana
- 1 tbsp flax seed....
Can you say yummmmmy? Even in the winter drinking this in the afternoon I'm full until dinner. :)

Afternoon pick-me up :)

This afternoon smoothie is PACKED with anti-oxidants and good for you nutrition. I love this after a good hard workout or just when I'm hungrier than usual in the afternoon and can't tear myself away from the kitchen. This smoothie is filling and pretty much amazing! Here's what I use:
• handful of frozen banana pieces
• maybe 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• enough vanilla soy milk to reach the consistency I love!
I throw it all in the blender and I'm good til dinner ;)
