Fantastic Juicing Recipes

My colleague (Kirsten) and I were talking about the health benefits of a juice cleanse and the 3-day juice cleanse that Babo in A2 offers.  She recommended that we watch the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." So we did.  Here's the synopsis written by my wife (Link).  The documentary was good, however like us if you need the "clinical aspect" of how vegetable and fruits can reverse poor health - I recommend that you watch the documentary: "Hungry for Change".        

So...
Before we invested in a juicer, I wanted to try "juicing" with our blender. I figured we had the Breville Hemisphere Mini and it was worth the shot.  I was wrong.  What we needed was a machine that was designed to extract the juice out of the fruits or vegetables instead of "blending" everything together.  (1 apple, 2 beets, 2 carrots, and a piece of ginger was wasted because I was being stubborn.)  





We bought our juicer (Breville, Ikon multi-speed juice fountain)  from Bed Bath & Beyond because their 20% coupons NEVER expire (expired coupons are accepted) and they had the best pre-coupon price.  Another added bonus, if we weren't completely satisfied with our purchase (EVEN after using it) - with the receipt, we can get a refund or store credit without one.  


3 oranges, 2 beets (raw), & 1 inch piece ginger



Success! It was really really good.
