When Marc and I received a juicer as a wedding gift over two years ago, it was a game changer. With all of the amazing produce here in the Garden State, a whole new world of juicing possibilities opened up! Our friend bought the Best Juicer in India for Home Use and they love using their juicer as much as us! They’re great machines. Now it’s time for a confession. I’m not really a huge fan of raw vegetables at all. I like them well cooked and soft. So juicing became another way for me to get my vegetables without having to cook them or eat them raw. After trying many combinations, this version of veggie fruit juice became my favorite! It was an amazing mixture of apples, carrots, celery, tomato and spinach.

I loved how the flavors complimented each other in this version of veggie fruit juice. The sweet apples and carrots balanced the earthiness of the celery and acidic tomato. The spinach added more freshness.

I made sure to cut everything small enough to fit through the feed tube of my juicer. Nothing needed to be peeled or seeded though! It took care of that for me! It all just went right into the pitcher to become the gorgeous, combined veggie fruit juice.

This amount made enough to fill two glasses for Marc and me. I always use a couple of ice cubes to chill it and make it really refreshing. Oh my goodness, this veggie fruit juice really helps me recover from a workout. If I have it in the morning, it gives me that boost to have a productive day. Juices are also a fantastic way to sneak in some extra vitamins and minerals. Did you know that juicing – swapping some of your meals for a healthy drink – is a popular way to lose weight and detox? There are plenty of ways to enjoy juicing, but if you’re looking to do a juice cleanse Juice Buff can help. It’s no surprise that a lot of people are turning to juicing as a fun way to feel refreshed but it’s also important to do your homework. Between you and me though, if I have a juice, it makes me feel a little less guilty if I give into my sweet tooth and have a cookie later in the day. It’s all about balance, ha! Cheers to a happy and healthy 2016 friends. xoxo
