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

 

 

Apples, Carrots, Fennel, Ginger, Lemon & Turmeric Juice

Another great combination that comes out such a beautiful, vibrant orange colour.

Contrary to what I first believed about Turmeric NOT staining your juicer, I was wrong…it does!!!

Turmeric does have an acquired taste so you may like to start off with a small chunk.

I have been fortunate enough to have an abundance of home grown lemons so have been leaving the skin on but it’s up to you…skin on or skin off. You can try either way and see what you prefer.

I used:

  • 2 Apples
  • 3 medium Carrots
  • slice of Fennel (your choice for quantity)
  • Chunk of Ginger (your choice for quantity)
  • 1 small Lemon
  • Chunk of Turmeric

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

Juice and enjoy.

Yield: approximately 200mls.

Recipes coming soon….

Just letting you know that there will be recipes coming soon.

I know when I first began juicing that I wanted to know the quantities of the produce going into the juicer so I have just been putting this together for you.

Also there will be some easy stir fry ideas that I’ve had a bit of fun creating in the kitchen. Simple but easy and tasty.

Some salad ideas so as not to get bored with lettuce leaves (rabbit food as it gets called), and dressings you can make yourselves.

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. :))

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!!!

It was Jason Vale’s 7 lbs in 7 days App I started with so I weighed myself before I began and I was an astonishing 112.8kgs. Not exactly what I wanted to be and although I’m 5ft 10, I knew with how my clothes weren’t fitting anymore that the juicing journey had to begin…..NOW!!! I was really ready to begin.

So what was included in the App you may ask, well keep a look out in the next post and all will be revealed!
