Perfection in a Cup

I found the perfect combination for a juice.

1 bunch of spinach

1 naval orange

1/2 a grapefruit

Small handful of mint

Oh me, oh my. This drink is delicious! 

Grapealicious Cabbage and Celery

Yeah. It doesn't sound too good, does it?

I had some cabbage sitting in my fridge and I've juiced cabbage before....but that was back when I had a terrible sinus infection and couldn't taste anything! Needless today I was a little scared to try it again. It's really good!!! I think the grapes, grapefruit and mint really help hide the cabbage....but I've also been on this juice fast for over 30 days and I know my taste buds have changed. I'm curious if anyone else finds this juice appealing?

Oh! I've noticed drinking this one with a straw really helps. Even though I couldn't taste the cabbage, I could smell it.


3 sticks of celery
Cabbage (I cut off a chunk about the size of the palm of my hand)
1/2 large grapefruit
2 handfuls of white seedless grapes (about 24)
2 sprigs of mint

Cabbage and celery are great aids in weight loss. I can't wait to see what the scale says tomorrow!

San Marcos Sunrise

I'm getting really creative with my juice names.

I'm from Austin, Texas and we moved our family to San Marcos (about a 30-45 minute drive south from Austin) about 4 1/2 years ago. Compared to Austin, San Marcos is a very small, sleepy little college town. We have a natural spring fed river PERFECT for tubing which brings visitors to our little town all summer long. It really is a beautiful place and I feel blessed to live here. I don't know what it is about the sunrises around here (and throughout the Hill Country) but they are simply breathtaking.

Now, I have no idea what a sunrise would taste like if you juiced it.....but when I made my lunch today, the color of the juice reminded me of the beautiful sunrises here in San Marcos, thus the name The San Marcos Sunrise.

2 sticks of celery
1 grapefruit
1 tangelo
2 sprigs of mint

Enjoy!

Refreshing Citrus

This juice was delicious after taking the family to the park to play today.


About 8 strawberries
Half a cucumber
3 stalks of celery
1 1/2 tangelos or naval oranges (peeled)
5 mint leaves
1/2 lime (peeled)

Juice all of the above, pour over ice then squeeze the remaining 1/2 lime over your drink. Enjoy!!!

(Anti-Cellulite Juice) The Fat Shredder

Hey, don't blame me, I didn't come up with the name. I got this recipe from the book 51 Fat Burning Juicing Recipes. I don't know that it got rid of any cellulite, I still see it all.....but the drink is pretty tasty!

And seriously, you can't drink a juice called Anti-Cellulite in just any plain ole cup. Oh, yes. That's right. I've gone classy, y'all. ;)

1 grapefruit
1 small apple
2 stalks of celery
2 mint leaves

*this yielded a single 16 oz serving for me

***Update: I've added this drink to my daily juicing for the past 3 days now and for each day I've added this juice, I've lost a pound. To be losing a pound a day at this point in my reboot/fast is absolutely mind blowing to me so I've named it something more accurate. The Fat Shredder. Enjoy!

Orange, Spinach and Mint

Wow.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!!!

Just as I was starting to get really bored!!!! This drink is absolutely fabulous!!!! And a huge thanks to my friend Liesl for sharing this recipe with me. I will be making this one again, for sure. The mint adds the perfect touch. I can't wait to play around with mint some more!!!!

1/2 bunch of spinach
2 large naval oranges
2 mint leaves
