Are you Juicing yet?
#KSFLJUICING for virgins
So here is the KSFL guide to becoming a juicing Queen (or King) and easy peasy tips for virgin juicers.
1. Always follow a recipe to start with – it lets you
learn what goes with what and then as you become more confident you can start playing with it and owning it.
2. The best time of day to have a juice first thing in the morning helps the body get set up for the day or mid afternoon to carry yourself through the mid afternoon slump.
3. The best juicer for those of you just starting out is the Phillips HR1861 good volume of juice and not too difficult to
clean.
4. You can prep ahead and freeze your juices so that cuts down on washing up etc.
5. Once you have got used to juicing and started to make your own recipes try and follow the 10% rule – only 10% of your juice should be fruit. Juicing is about getting your VEGGIES ON and you don’t want to get a huge sugar spike from using too much fruit. STICK TO VEGGIES.
6. Organic is best BUT if the
cost will hold you back – just get juicing and then start to add in the organic foods as you really make it part of your life and know that your health and vitality have no cost.
7. The best juicer to buy is the one that you will keep out on your worktop so it is always handy – set up your own home juice bar – so that every time you walk into your kitchen you see the respect and love you are prepared to show yourself.
8. Get
your kids making their own juices – no holds barred and just watch how they love it and stand back as you get them eating veggies and fruit they would never have tried.
9. Create a juice as your breakfast meal if you find a lunch style breakfast hard to get your head around.
10. Add bottled water for a long nutrient enriched drink- even looks like a cocktail the colours are so vivid.
