And the Beet Goes In...

After many years of feeling lukewarm about juicing, this past summer I watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead and became a believer. You can read about my experience in an earlier post. Since that time I have become a juicing evangelist & wanted to give you a peak into my daily ritual.

I wash my fruits and vegetables (preferably, but not necessarily organic) while trying to embrace the Environmental Working Group's advice to avoid the dirty dozen in conventional form.  Note..it is better to eat fruits and vegetables than it is to find reasons to avoid them!

Juice-de-juor ingredients:

1/2 very large cucumber

3 carrots

1 beet with greens

1 lemon with peel

2 Granny Smith apples (no need to core)

1 inch piece of fresh ginger
Yield:  24 ounces

Juice in Cuisinart Juice Extractor

And in a few short minutes you have...

In keeping with my belief that food is the outfit you wear every day, I will admit I look great in red. Whether you are talking about music or food, there is no replacement for hearing it live or eating it live and you don't get that in V-8.
