Juicing Liquid Sunshine

The easy way to lose weight through juicing

Apple, Ginger, Kale, Lemon & Turmeric Juice

By

I had some Kale I had to use up as it doesn’t last very long before it goes yellow so I came up with this combination.

As per usual with the Ginger and Turmeric, just adjust to your taste and same with the Lemon regarding skin on, skin off. If homegrown, I leave the skin on.

Kale I like to feed through with slices of Apple as I find it doesn’t get caught so much around the ‘juicing screw’ on my slow juicer.

I prefer to remove the leaves from the stalk as the stalk can taste bitter so I do this just by holding the stalk and pulling the leaves backwards. Comes off ‘easy peasy’. The stalks can be used in smoothies or in soups so as not to waste them.

I used:

  • 2 large Apples
  • chunk Ginger
  • 3 stalks Kale
  • 1 small Lemon
  • chunk Turmeric

 

Depending on your juicer, you may need to cut up the Apples to feed through the chute.

Yields about 300mls

 

 

Breakfast Fun

How often have you heard, ‘Don’t play with your food’!!!

Well, in this case, I really enjoyed ‘playing with my fruit’ to create my delish breakfast plate.

A selection of: bananas, kiwi fruit, oranges, apple and a dollop of coconut yoghurt with a sprinkle of LSA mix (Linseed, Sunflower, Almond) on top.

Bigger Fridge

Well, here it is, my BIGGER fridge has arrived and this is just some of the produce starting to fill it up. How glorious it is to get back into the swing of things. It has been so inspiring to keep tabs on others’ ‘posts’ as not to let oneself fizzle out completely, so I give thanks to everyone for that. :))

Fresh Produce

This was truly a glorious sight….the fridge full of fruit and veggies. Although I didn’t take many photos back then of the fridge, this is a latter day photo.

Now I knew what I had to do, I had ‘sussed’ out how many days I was to shop for and off I went with my shopping list in hand.

At the time of starting, I didn’t live in an area where I could buy organic fruits and vegetables as it was ‘out in the sticks’ so I bought from the local supermarket and fruit shops and just washed the produce.

There were markets on once a month where I bought fresh produce so I’d buy my apples in bulk…a box at a time, celery, oranges and anything else that stored well. Such vibrant colours flashed back at me every time I opened the fridge door. Just glorious!!!

Shopping List

Above is the shopping list for three days just to give you an idea of how easy it really is, so thanks Jason for making my juicing journey easier.

This is excellent. All of the hard work is done for you. No having to calculate how many of what you need for each day. You choose how many days you want to shop for and it calculates it all for you, easy peasy. Works for me.

No wasting hours of your valuable time going through the list and getting down right confused at the quantities, etc.

People are busy these days and it’s just so helpful to have this all calculated for you.

If you need to have herbs and spices, it states the quantities, same goes for supplements such as Friendly Bacteria as opposed to the unfriendly ones, haha, Spirulina and Wheatgrass and the amount of Bio-Live Yoghurt required. As I stated, easy peasy!!!
