I just got my first juicer last week...what I like to call a 'starter' juicer:
It's a Hamilton Beach juicer I copped off of Overstock.com for about $72 with shipping. It does the job and gives me a good amount of juice, and has a wide mouth at the top so i can fit in whole apples and pears. I will be saving up to get a Breville brand...I think I like that better than the Greenstar.
My first juice (pictured above) was a fresh peace and lime juice. I was so surprised that it was thick and frothy like a smoothie. This is NOTHING like the store bought juices; I've tried to fast/feast on pasteurized juices and I still felt hungry. I will never buy another juice again! My children love my creations, and often drink theirs and try to drink mine as well. In most cases they succeed :)
My goals for this feast: to cleanse inside and out, to no longer crave starches (I still like potatoes...shame, I know), and to release some weight. I'm not sure if I'm going to follow the juicefeasting.com protocol yet or not b.u.t I would like to do the knowledge to the program. I would also love to see how these 40DD cups ease themselves back down to a size I am familiar with...I hate big boobies, and they have never gone back down since I birthed my children.
I want at least a gallon of green juice going into my body each day, so I'll be experimenting with a lot of greens like dandelion and whatever else I can find. Organic foods only of course.
In terms of skincare, I will be experimenting with MSM soap and lotion. I've heard very good things about MSM, and can't wait to make it a part of my beauty regimen.
I will be documenting this journey through my Youtube channel once a week, and daily on this blog including the juice blends I use for each day.
So excited!
