juicing

You've heard of milk mustaches, but have you ever heard of juice mustaches?! Get ready for some serious cuteness in this post...but before that, can I just say how silly it was that we had a snow day today? No school. No work (or very little anyway). Ohhhhhhh, and NO SNOW! LOL. This 20+ inch storm came through and gave us about 1/20th of an inch.  But, I'll take it. It just meant more playing with Babycakes, more puzzle-making, more juice creations, more tea parties, more messes, and more fun :) ... Read more » about The Perfect Mustache + {Pink Power Juice}

Happy Saturday, y'all!  Yesterday a couple of things dawned on me while I was making Babycakes' lunch:       1) WOW, it sure was beautiful and colorful. 2) My girl is growing up soooooooooo fast! Remember when she was just a little baby? 3) Babycakes likes eating what I eat --- she's like a little mini-me :)   and 4) I'd love to start a new blog feature where I highlight one or two of her lunches each week to give you all some good ideas on what to feed your own kids (or yourself!) ...

Okay, here comes a confession: sometimes my recipes fail...like big time. Like throw the entire batch straight-into-the-trashcan-fail.  Yesterday was one of those days. I was so excited about last week's super successful juicing/baking combo of Good Morning Juice and Carrot Cake Muffins that I sought out to replicate the process with a different set of flavors: a green lemonade plus lemon/lime bars using the pulp.  The lemonade was fantastic, but the bars were awful...waaaaaaaaaaaay too much spinach pulp ...

I have been juicing for almost two years now.  I love what it's done for my body - kickstarting my weightloss, killing my sugar cravings completely, and giving me so much extra energy... But I have a confession: for 2 years, I have always put the pulp straight down the drain. This weekend was different though.  For the first time ever, I actually saved the leftover pulp from my "Good Morning Juice" to make into another recipe.  And it was such a success and ...

It has been WAY too long since I've posted a new juice recipe. Did you know I love juicing? I'm all about juicing for weightloss, for improved health, and to nix sugar. It's how I lost 50 pounds in the first place! And when I've been in a rut with weightloss (which I am currently in), it's good to get back to what I know: juicing + exercise.  So I will be juicing more regularly again, creating/posting more juice recipes, AND I will be focusing more on cardio. ...

I'm about 11 days in to my Kickstarter project (out of 60), and about 11% funded.  THANK YOU, to the 83 of you who have jumped on board! If you have never heard of Kickstarter, you set a goal that you want to hit and people pledge at various levels and get different rewards based on the dollar amount.  As a pledger/buyer, your credit card is not charged until the end of the 60 days (in my case around March 7th), and it's only charged if the full goal is met.  ...

The Holiday season is in full swing, and with it comes a full range of emotions, especially when it comes to eating, weight, and guilt. I am so excited that the #elf4health holiday challenge started yesterday and that above all else, I am going to at least be mindful of my health during this season.  And I'll have an elf buddy to help motivate me and keep me accountable.  Perfect! ...

So I'm really excited about today's post!!  Many of you probably read my comprehensive post on juicing recently, which talks about juicing for weightloss, improved health, and to nix sugar.  I am all for doing a 15 day Reboot at some point in your life, but you might want to start with this Long-Weekend Reboot if you've never juiced before.  We are moving to the mountains in less than 3 weeks (eeeeeeeek!!!) so my mom is flying to Colorado to help me pack.  She suggested doing a ...

If you don't already know, I have lost 55 pounds this past year and it all started with juicing.  I watched the movie Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead and knew at that moment, that I had to try it. Life was too short to live perpetually unhappy.  15 days of commited eating/juicing didn't sound too terrible.  I took a chance, and it's the best decision I've ever made!  The movie calls juicing a "Reboot" because it reboots your eating habits, your lifestyle, and ultimately your body. ...

No matter how much you plan and prepare, unforeseen things occur.  That's just life. And you have to change your plans and adapt and make the most of it.  Case in point- today. ... Read more » about Plans Change + {Twisted Watermelon Juice} - HLTT8
