Juicy Lucy

So my friend Christine and I, decided to do a juice fast for 2 days this week to give our bodies a cleanse and a "rest" from digesting foods. So even after just 2 days of juicing fruits and vegetables, my body has felt lighter and more alert.  However, the best product was the challenge in practicing self-control.  Interesting how physical self-denial flows over into other AREAS of your life? I felt more productive in my school work and more intentional with friends.

Here are some yummy juice combos:

• Carrot, apple, orange and celery Juice
• Cucumber-Pear Juice
• Apple-Orange Juice

*Whatever you do, don't juice cucumber and carrots (or ANYthing), then try and heat it up on the stove to make soup! The mess'll turn into a poop color with a grainy texture, and worse, the heat destroys the enzymes in the veggies. 
 *Also, if you juice apples, you can use the remainder to make applesauce.
