I have been wanting to start “juicing” for a while now. Not as a means to diet, just to get more healthy food into my diet. Lord knows I need to balance out the baked goods.

I am sharing with you one of my favorite concoctions…
Carrot, Beet, Pineapple and Ginger Juice.
IT.IS.DELICIOUS !!!

I crave it.

Yes, you hear me correct, I crave beet juice. Don’t knock it till you try it!

You need 1/4 pineapple, 1 beet peeled, 5 carrots and 1/2″ piece of ginger.

Aren’t the colors beautiful.

Pour it into a big mug and pop it into the fridge while you clean your juicer.

Ohhhhh my, it is so delicious and I feel good drinking it

And look at the pretty Pulp that comes out. Love the colors.

I can’t wait to share more delicious juicer / juicing recipes with you.

Here is the recipe..

No, not pour juice from a store bought bottle. Making my own healthy juices from a juicing machine or juice extractor! I am addicted I tell you. I actually crave it. I am not sure if it’s my body telling me I need more nutrients or I am just in love with all of the flavor combinations I come up with.

I sent out an APB on twitter asking everyone about juicing and the types of juicers they used and the powers to be must have been listening because Hamilton Beach rocked my world when they sent me their newest Juice Extractor, The Big Mouth Juice Extractor.

When the package arrived, I squealed like a little pig(yes that is a reference to my weight) in excitement. The only thing I had to juice was some clementines.
There was no assembly required, I just had to take some tape off the machine and wash it.

I put a plastic garbage bag into the large clear pulp bin for easy clean up. I peeled the clementines ( you should always peel citrus before putting it in the juicer), and threw them in the HUGE food shoot and in like 3 seconds I had delicious juice.

Clean up took a few minutes. You have to scrub the blade/screen with a little brush that is provided for you. It’s quite easy. I place my juice in the fridge while I clean the machine. You want to make sure you clean it right away.

The  next day I ran out to the store and bought lots and lots of fresh fruit and veggies.

I can up with a delicious “Green Juice” that tasted delicious and filled me up. And you know what, mentally it made me feel great because I knew what I just put in my body…..a massive amount of healthy food.

Juicing couldn’t be easier!

Just look at that beautiful color!!!!!

And Below is what went into my first juice.
