Gettin' Juiced

Gettin' Juiced!

That bad....

Nnnnoooooooooooooooooo-----

That Good.

I bought myself a juicer.

Did I ever tell you how much I like my insurance company?

(What on earth does that have to do with anything?)

Wait a second...I'm trying to tell a story.

My insurance company gives a $50 gift reward for all

it's diabetic patients who complete all their tests and screenings for the year.

Last year I completed all mine, filed the paper work and waited...

and in the mail came my reward.

I was able to choose from various companies that

sell sports equipment, exercise items, and so on

and so forth.

So I bought this $140 juicer that was on sale for $99.00.

Subtract my $50.00 gift certificate

and........my 10% off electronics coupon.

****DRUM ROLL HERE****

I paid $45.39 out of my pocket for this super-duper juicer.

Now I'm gettin juiced!

Broccoli Booster

Yum! This one I will definitely repeat.

Broccoli is a super food ~ it's packed with calcium,

antiviral and antibacterial nutrients.

Great health benefits.

The recipe calls for:  eating apples -

 (I assume they meant a basic red apple, but I had Granny Smiths)

broccoli and 1 Tbsp of lemon juice.

The photo doesn't do it justice, it was much greener.

The other one I've tried only has these two ingredients,

carrots & clementines.

I failed to get a photo of this one, which they labeled Bright Eyes,

but I think it should have the word sunshine in it's name.

The directions said that you could put the clementines

through with their skins on for some extra tang.

I will repeat this drink as well, only next time I

think maybe I'll try half the clementines without the skins

and 1/2 with their skin on, it was

a bit to zesty for my taste buds.

We all know the benefits of Vitamin C on your immune system and

Vitamin A is essential for healthy vision.

It was very, very refreshing.

My recipe book has 160 recipes for smoothies & fruit juices

but right now I'm trying to stick to mostly veggie creations.
