Ahhh, Juice!

I realized that since letting you guys know that I purchased my first juicer, I have not posted any yummy juice recipes. And after my indulgent cupcake post I figured it was the perfect time. I realize that most do not have a juicer, but you can always blend up a Green Smoothie.

I tend to juice about 2 times a week. It is the best pick me up if I'm feeling a little lethargic, have been exposed to a onslaught of germs or just know I have been slacking in the vegetable consumption department. The juices I made this week are not actually the prettiest juices, but I have had so much fun with all the colours!

I have also discovered a bit of a fetish for ginger.. I can't get enough of the stuff. It is really good for and known to help increase the appetite.. not something I generally struggle with...
