joy of juicing or blending

After we watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix, Peter has been making juice for our breakfast. Joe Cross had suffered chronic urticaria for about 9 years before he has decided to go on 60-day juicing diet eating nothing but green juice. I had suffered a bad case of idiopathic chronic urticaria as well earlier this year. The disease made me miserable. I am so thankful when my condition had finally improved and I am now completely hives free. It is wonderful to be healthy!

We don't have a proper juicer so we have been blending our vegetables and fruits with our Vitamix blender. The taste may not be as clean as a proper juicer but the fiber content is good for us. What went into the juice this morning were: 
  • swiss chard from farmer's market
  • apple and celery from Adams
  • carrots from Obercreek Farm
  • parsley from our garden
Delicious! Thanks to Peter who has been juicing for our health for a month now! He even overcomes his obstacle of getting up early in the mornings on the days when I commute into NYC to give us a healthy start in the morning. What a wonderful husband! Such a simple joy!

  1. The Omega Juicer we bought a few years ago was about $200 and it worked great! with our weekly CSA.
