Juicing Recipes

Recently, I purchased a juicer. I have always heard a ton of claims about the wonder power of juicing and after watching the documentary Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead, I decided it was time to incorporate healthier choices into my life style. Juicing can help improve your skin, detox your system and boost your energy. Juicing also incorporates the Bare philosophy. There are no fillers or added sugar. It’s just real fruits and veggies. I have a couple of friends that did a pretty intense juice fast and it worked wonders for them. Not only did they lose weight but a number of previous health problems also cleared up. You can read more about this on my friend Belle’s blog at http://www.balancedbound.wordpress.com. Personally, I have found that if I replace one meal a day (usually breakfast) with a juice, that I feel much more energized and have no issues with my weight. Hope you enjoy!

Here are some awesome recipes for you to try at home that I love.
