Juicing

[IheartDogs]

I juice every weekend and just had a delicious one made with ginger, lemon, cilantro, celery, carrots, apple and watermelon rind. What do you use?? 🤗

Hi IheartDogs

Your juice sounds delicious.

I don't tend to have any Juice drinks - I've made the occasional banana smoothie in the past - I prefer to eat the whole fruits and veggies, as opposed to juicing them. That's just my personal preference.

I do really like the taste of ginger.

I might order a milk-shake if I was out and fancied one though - especially nice on a hot day. Maybe a banana smoothie kind of milkshake - but regarding juices, I am not so keen on them.

Do you have a favourite that you enjoy?

Smoothies are so delicious and I've been meaning to start incorporating them into my diet. The problem with me is, getting another appliance and where to store it! Do you use a blender, the bullet, etc.? I also love to eat the whole vegetable, but on the weekends I feel like it's a good diversion for me to make the juice because without the fiber, all the nutrients get absorbed immediately. Thx for sharing😊

Hi IheartDogs

I literally only have a small hand blender - and I use that to make soup more than anything.

I had a juicer (in fact it may even be stored away somewhere) but I lost patience with cleaning it and the cost of the ingredients. Reading your post makes me think it is a great idea to make a nice homemade juice a weekend ritual. If I only did it at the weekend it wouldn't be so costly. Thanks for the idea

Agreed! I used to do it three to four times per week and it was just too much. You should treat yourself to doing it on the weekends 🤗

sounds like a plan

My son’s best friend opened a cold press juice store. Since I do low carb he makes me a special one with cucumber, kale, spinach and spirulina . He also has wellness shots that are lemon and ginger with a bit of red pepper on top. Check out his menu at theloudjuice.com/

There are great ideas on his menu.
