Juice-heads

Yeah, that’s right… we’re juicing ;-)

After being inspired by Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Patrick and I decided to jump on the juicing bandwagon. For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie… do it! It’s heartbreaking and inspiring all at once. It’s available on Netflix or you can watch the extended trailer here.

I’m not saying I’m going on a 60-day extreme juice cleanse but the benefits of adding fresh, all-natural just into our diets occasionally are undeniable.

Our produce buying club has an add-on called “Juicers Delight”. For an additional $20 this week’s share included:

  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Celery
  • Cucumbers
  • Baby Spinach
  • Local FL Curly Kale
  • Carrots
  • Fuji Apples
  • Red Bartlett Pears
Patrick and I picked up a few extra items we wanted to juice at Publix as well. We made a papaya, grape, spinach, apple, carrot, blueberry juice.

The spinach made it look a little bit like mud but it was incredibly sweet. I am definitely looking forward to making it a regular thing in our home.

Do you make fresh juice at home? Have you ever done a juice fast? How’d it go?
