Juicing (A First Attempt)

Well I busted out the ole second hand juicer I got from my mother who probably has had it stored since the 90's....it was the little juicer that could. I was worried it would crap out and catch fire but no such castrophies occured. I went with a green juice this lovely evening. I know I've read juicing in the morning is best but with a husband who works third shift and a micro-mini apartment...I might have to improvise. I added a fist full of kale, 1 organic golden delicious apple, some baby carrots on there way out, 5 organic celery sticks, some organic brocoli (I wasn't sure if I was supposed to juice the stem but that made logical sense to me so I did) and a cucumber peeled since I wasn't able to find organic around town. Maybe I'm forgetting something else but oh well, close enough. It was....interesting. Honestly, I hate celery and I may have to scale back on it abit because at first I wanted to gag but I eventually got used to it and enjoyed the second glass. Well it wasn't as scary as I thought it might be. I know that sounds dramatic but hey, that's me sometimes. All in all, juicing success.

    1. Your recipe sounds yummy! I'll have to try it out. I sent that email again (well twice more), not sure if it went thru. If you still haven't received it feel free to email me at momofjonas@aol.com Facebook hasn't been letting me see most comments or private messages. Technology....so annoying. Haha! And thanks again.
