About a year ago, my little sister bought a juicer. She rocked a 20 day juice feast and felt AMAZING by the end of it!

I have been inspired ever since. Unfortunately up until about 2 weeks ago I was still nursing…aaand due to the whole toxins dumping into your milk discussion I held off on doing my own juice feast. But my daughter is officially weaned, I have finally purchased a juicer, the Omega VERT 350 and I am in love! And so, today marks the first day of my 30 day juice feast.

I am hoping this running blog will help me through it as much as help others gain some insight and knowledge as well. I plan on documenting EVERYTHING! From cost, to supplies, methods, recipes, moods, feelings, etc., etc.

So far I have spent $54 at Costco on a mix of organic and conventional fruits and veggies. What they had in organic I purchased and the rest were produce that are generally thought to contain least amount of pesticides. Wish I could do this fully organic, however that is not within my budget.

I work 9-5 Saturdays and Sundays so I made most of my juice for the day this morning. Throughout my research prior to starting this journey I found that it is necessary to drink 3 to 4 liters of juice per day, in addition to plenty of water. I plan on drinking roughly 100 ounces of juice and 60-70 ounces of water every day….sounds like a blast I know 😉 But it will be soooo worth it!

Juice Recipes of the day!

Green Juice (made a full 32 ounces-I will probably be drinking this juice every day)
2 apples
1 whole bunch of kale
1 cucumber
6 celery spears
1/2 lemon
1/2 inch ginger, blech

I have to say that this green juice recipe really is delicious!

Juice #2 (made a full 32 ounces)
2 oranges
1 hunk of pineapple
6 HUGE carrots, carrots are surprisingly juicy

I have another juice to make/drink tonight, in the mean time I am roughly 5 hours in ;). Check back when I have a little more to talk about!
