We got a juicer!!

Nick putting our contraption together.

Nick has been talking for some time about getting a juicer, and as someone who likes to try to stay healthy and make sure I'm getting enough fruits and veggies (which never seems to happen), I was totally onboard. Nick had the morning off yesterday, so after dropping me off at work he just went and bought one! He ended up buying a GE brand juicer at Walmart. I got a text at work saying, "I just tried out the juicer. It's awesome!", and it really is. He picked me up from work and as soon as we got home he whipped me up a delicious and refreshing veggie and fruit juice! This was our version of "Green Goodness", the Bolthouse Farms smoothie we like to buy at Sam's. It was full of broccoli, cucumber, green apple, kale, and kiwi, and it was delicious. Not super sweet, but we plan on experimenting with lots of fruit and veggie or just fruit combinations. I definitely felt healthy drinking this, and this juicer will really help me get more fruits and veggies in my diet!


The first little bit of juice!

Almost done!

Pretty color - it got darker when we added the kale!


Cheers to good health!

  1. How's the clean up? Mine is decades old, and it's a bit of a chore to clean. But I still use it regularly! :)

  2. We love ours! One of our favs is orange carrot lemon ginger! Mmm so good, especially in the morning and I find I don't even need a cup of coffee.
