Juicing is fun!

I have been meaning to do a post about my new juicer but just haven't seemed to get around to it until now! My parents sent us some money for Christmas and rather than piddle it away and wonder where it went later, we decided to buy ourselves a juicer! I researched juicers like crazy trying to find the best one for what we needed and our budget.

Ta Da! The Omega 8003!This juicer does it all! It juices fruit, vegetables and even wheatgrass and greens which is something that a lot of juicers can't do! Plus it grinds whole wheat berries which I tried out today and made cookies with the whole grain flour!

The kids love the juice and S was a big helper this morning, putting in the fruits and veggies and using the plunger to push it all down.

I apologize for the Labatt glass but it seems that all the glasses in our cupboard are beer related. Now I know what you're thinking upon seeing the color of this juice. Yuck! Well if my kids will drink it, you know it has to taste good! It is like drinking a cup of coffee. It gives you an instant lift! This concoction is orange, apple, grapefruit, pineapple, carrot and spinach.
And the pulp that you see is wonderful on salad, in cookies(the kids love them!), muffins, spaghetti sauce; the possibilities are endless!

Bottoms up!

  1. Pretty fancy juicer you have there!!!! And I bet that pulp would be FANTASTIC in muffins and cakes and such. Probably defeats the purpose of the health kicks of having a juicer, but oh well.

    oh and ps, I love the new look of your blog :)

  2. I refuse to drink anything that looks like it was expelled from someones stomach no matter how good you say it is.

    Take out the carrot and spinach and you might convince me to try it.
