Juice Up Your Day...And Your Evening!
Juice up your day...and evening!
It wasn’t until I became pregnant with Lex that I forced myself to eat fruits and vegetables. But as you read on Monday, that has all changed. Because of my love for juicing, they have become a staple in my morning routine. (And, they can also very easily be converted into a refreshing evening cocktail. My homemade margaritas are made with fresh squeezed orange and lime juice rather than a sugar and preservative-filled mix.)
My absolute favorite juice right now is the Pucker Up. I found the recipe from Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Juice book. In 2005, Kris was diagnosed with cancer and given 3 months to live. She decided to completely change her lifestyle, and that included being more mindful and intentional about what she put into her body. Luckily, she defeated cancer, and here we are, nearly 15 years later, reaping the benefits of her incredible recipes! I highly recommend her book. In fact, take it and your favorite juicing appliance along your next girls weekend for quick, easy, and nutritious morning and evening refreshments.
