Get Juiced! ~ the juice with a whole head of kale in it

Green Juice with a whole head of Kale

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I’ve posted a juicing recipe. Especially for as much as I juice here at home and how much my family and love it. First off, let me just ask you. Are you on instagram? If you are make sure you’re following me – lolagishell – so…

Get Juiced! ~ Leftover Strawberry Tops + Grapefruit

Strawberries are extremely good for you and very high in vitamin C. In fact, ounce for ounce they dominate this vitamin when stacked against oranges. I never waste a strawberry. Not even the tops. This past weekend I was cutting up some strawberries for my kiddos, and after slicing the tops off would put them…

Get Juiced! ~ Drink Your Greens

Eating your greens isn’t always easy. A lot of children turn their noses up to them at a pretty fast speed. My son? Not a big fan of greens, and so far neither are my daughters. They will nibble on raw broccoli, but that’s about it. No lie. I knew, though, once I started juicing…

Get Juiced! ~ Blood Orange Mimosa

As I’ve been moving along in my juicing adventures, I stay amazed at how fabulous fresh juice tastes. Then, one night the thought came to me, “why couldn’t I use fresh juice in my cocktails?” Makes sense, right? Why buy the mix with the overload of heavy syrups when I can make something fresh, any…

I was introduced to Juicing 226 days ago. My husband had heard about this movie called “Fat, sick, & nearly dead”. I was intrigued so we watched. You can find the movie via Netflix. As we watched I was amazed at what veggies & fruits can do for your body. You always hear about the…

Get Juiced! ~ Pear Grape

Juicing doesn’t have to be complex to be nutritional or effective. I often wonder if those who are intimidated of juicing, or completely turned off by it, are because of all the recipes that make it look like you have to own half the produce isle to make one healthy drink. That’s definitely not true….

Get Juiced! ~ Citrus Punch

I’ve been wanting to do some lemon juicing, so during my last trip to the commissary I finally bought a bag. I love the smell of citrus. So fresh and crisp! I also bought some white peaches, but they were meant for eating. Unfortunately I have found that this years crops of white peaches have…

Get Juiced! ~ Is Fiber a Nutrients Cockblocker?

Fiber. It’s good for the body, right? Yes. It is. This shouldn’t be news to anyone. However, when starting out as a new juicer and reading the various books there are available on juicing I came across from rather conflicting information in regards to fiber. It has been said that soluble fiber collects cholesterol in…

Because I want to regularly share my adventures in juicing and all of the concoctions I create, I’m sitting here staring at the screen trying to come up with a column name for the series of posts. And? Blank. So… for now I’m just going to type. After reading this post, maybe you’ve got something…
