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. :)

Renergy Baby

Rener Gracie is.... Awesome. He's hilarious, great at what he does and he knows a thing or 50 about nutrition. I love watching his YouTube videos. Not only are they insightful, but they're also over the top sarcastic (which I love). Anyway, he has a sandwich that he makes quite often and it's what inspired my lunch today :). Google 'renergy sandwich' and you'll find his exact instructions. Mine are modified to what I had on hand, but it was delicious nonetheless and packed with nutrients. Here's what was in mine:
• bread (whatever you have/like)
• pb ( or almond butter is good too)
• 1/2 avocado
• baby spinach
• raw kale
Now don't be afraid to play around with this and make it work for you. Rener does it a little different, but both are bomb. Try it and see :)
