Juicing

[MichelleD 1]

SO HAPPY to hear that you are Juicing! I am going to buy my juicer this weekend! I recently watched a great documentary called 'Fat, Sick, and nearly Dead' (I highly recommend watching) and I wanted a juicer right away!

As far as calorie intake goes: Don't Worry! The nutrition you are getting from juicing is far more important than the amount of calories you will be consuming! I believe that Juicing is one of the best things you can do for yourself with the LapBand.

I am hoping to get mine out within the next month or so, and when I do, I am doing a 'Reboot' or a juice cleanse for a couple weeks. I can't wait!

Best Wishes to all of you who are juicing!

I just watched that documentary on netflix. It was great! Also, just wanted to update guy guys with a couple of recipes i've tried since starting this post

Grape, kale, and lemon juice

take 2 large bunches of grapes

4-5 kale leaves

1/2 lemon, peeled

I usually add about 1 part Water to 2 parts juice

orange carrot ginger

1 package of organic baby carrots

4 or 5 oranges

dash of powdered ginger

apple pear

apples

pears

that's it so far. I always have to play around with the amounts, it depends on the size of the fruit and how much juice it has, how sweet you want it, etc. If anyone has any other good recipes, please share them! It's hard to find juice recipes online, for some reason.
