Since I purchased my Ninja blender about 3 months ago, I have been blending and making my own juices. I haven’t consumed a store bought juice since that time. If you just take a look at the ingredients on the back of store bought juice, you will see a whole lot of extra preservatives, sweeteners, and chemicals that you have never heard of before. Even when the juice says “all natural” on the front, it seems to have something else “not natural” in it. When you make your own juice, you know the exact ingredients. That is what I love about it. Simpler is so much easier.
Why is juicing so important?
For one you get to absorb all of the nutrients and vitamins from the vegetables. In most people’s fast paced daily schedule, not many people have time to eat a proper diet and consume 4 or 5 vegetables per day. Juicing allows you to get in everything at once. You can also add a wider variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet. I’ve never been a fan of kale, but if you throw kale, pineapple and banana together, you have an awesome tasting smoothie, and you won’t even notice the kale in there. It’s also a great way to introduce kids to consuming more veggies.
Here is a great recipe for you found at http://www.figgyandsprout.com:
