juice it up: new year’s resolution #4…
…okay, I like eating veggies, but do I get enough everyday?? Uhhh…that would be a no! I have been to Pressed Juicery and tried the different greens, roots, and citrus – and to my surprise, I really liked it! So in an attempt to consume more vitamins and minerals on a daily basis, I’m ready to try making juice at home. My #4 New Year’s resolution is to jump on the juice train and add more greens to my life! For anyone else joining me, here are some basics…

So where do we begin? First we need to SHOP for a juicing machine! I am a huge fan of William Sonoma for all my kitchen needs. A home blender is not recommended (from what I have read), even thought I feel like you could make it work if you wanted to. But if you want to do it right, it’s best to invest in a juicer. There are plenty out there depending on if you want a high speed or low speed machine. (The difference is explained here.) To make it easy, here are three to choose from depending on your juice intentions…
Once you are ready to get your juice on, here are some recipes you can try! Since this is not a strawberry and banana smoothie we are making here, I think it is going to be very trial an error depending on your taste buds. The girls over at A Beautiful Mess blog put together these 6 recipes along with a Green Apple +Spinach smoothie (below) that looks really good! William Sonoma also created this 30 days of juicing plan with additional recipes, and tips for getting started.
