You're looking at 3 carrots, 1/2 a cucumber, 1 cup spinach, 2 celery stalks with leaves, and 1/2 an apple. I even added some lemon juice, and then popped it into my liquidiser to make my smoothie.
The amount of vegies the recipe required yielded not one, but THREE low ball glasses worth of smoothie (or vegie pulp... whatever you prefer to call it). I only managed to get through one and a quarter... and that was through sheer determination.
On another note, my new reformed diet has really yielded a change in my skin. It's a lot clearer and today, I braved putting on loads of makeup, and am only going to work with tinted moisturiser and mascara, something which I haven't done in a long, long time.
This is interesting. I'm not sure if I would drink that in smoothie form, but definitely if I popped it all in my heavy duty juicer. I used to drink a lot of fresh vege juice - carrot, beetroot & celery juice everyday - but stopped for some reason.. You are inspiring me to get more healthy again though! Might have to get my juicer out and dust it off!
ReplyDeleteI love vegie juice! What heavy duty juicer are you using? I'm considering looking out for one. Maybe as my self-Christmas present :P
