Sippin' on Gin.... and Juice!

Ok, so maybe not Gin... But I am down with the Juice right now! I do love gin, but I'm currently on a healing mission!

So, when I saw this amazing masticating juicer on sale, I couldn't resist!

Isn't she beautiful? Ok, so it was important that I got a Masticating Juicer, according to my girlfriend Kate, owner and magical awesomness behind Raw Replenish, a cold pressed juice company in Pennsylvania! (If you are interested in reading more about masticating vs centrifugal juicers, go HERE). Basically, I love my friend Kate, and she knows Raw Juice, I mean, it's her business! SO I bought this!

AS SOON as I opened it, I unpacked it and made celery Juice!

Why might you ask? Well, I recently got this book:

In this book, it talks about SO many issues hormonal and otherwise, and how to heal them! Well, one of the things is celery! In the book, he suggests 16oz of fresh celery juice every morning on an empty stomach. Why? Well, celery helps with digestion. It strengthens the hydrochloric acid in your gut, and helps your liver produce more bile to break down food. Celery even has mineral salts, these stabilize and support the adrenal glands. I mean, why isn't this on the list of superfoods, right? In addition, it also helps cleanse the thyroid, and bolsters the production of the thyroid hormone T3! WHAT?!!? Yes, it's basically totally badass! Want more info? Read this book! It's so amazing!

I didn't actually think my fresh celery juice would be very good. Though, I'm the girl that loves wheatgrass. Yes, it's true. Now that I have a juicer, I am thinking I will start growing some wheatgrass! ANyway, back to celery.... It was light, and sort of sweet. I do use organic celery, so maybe that had something to do with the fresh sweeter taste than I expected. Either way, I'm on board. I'm committed to juicing celery daily, and seeing how it helps!

Celery is not all, you should see some of the other crazy concoctions I've been coming up with! They are so amazing. Even my 9 year old boy is turning into a juicing pro! This thing is the bomb diggity! I should have bought a juicer sooner! Seriously, Why did I wait so long?

More juicing yumminess to come soon, as I learn more and explore more amazing veggie & fruit combinations!
