If you’ve been reading my blog you know that because I’ve lost so much weight so fast I have a bit of a liver problem. The doctors have said no red meat, no dairy and stick to low fat. So I got a masticating juicer and the first few I tried were like eating liquid poop. Not so today!

I put 8 carrots, 2 apples, 1 pear and a small knob of ginger in that thing and it was devine. I could live on that stuff.

I read somewhere on the net yesterday that I shouldn’t mix fruits and vegetables when I make juice. Something in my brain started to whirr because I would eat a fruit and a vegetable together, no problem. Why would juicing it make a difference? I don’t care if it does make a difference – getting a juice that’s tasty and healthy to drink is the top order of the day around here.

Tomorrow I’m going to try some fruit that I’ve never seen before moving to New Zealand. I’ll juice up some tamarillos and some feijoas. I tasted a tamarillo the other day and it was as sour as anything I’ve eaten in the past so I’ll put something yummy with it. With a taste like that it’s got to be good for me.
