Over the years I have experimented with juicing many times, but it was always short lived. I never could really pinpoint exactly why I gave up on each attempt, until my last and final failure.
After many of my own failed juicing attempts I decided to examine why something promoted as being so healthy was proving to be so difficult. This is what I discovered and how I resolved it.
First off, I'm a busy girl. I have a lot of things to get done in a day and I don't want to spend my whole day in the kitchen. It's just not practical. Most people even if they wanted to hang out in their kitchen all day, simply can't, because they are working a job in a location other than their home. Not to mention all the other activities one is responsible for each day, beyond eating and maintaining their health. Now try throwing a time consuming activity, like juicing into the mix, and all you get is a recipe for "not going to happen".
Well not too long ago, during one of my juicing attempts in which I was determined to personally experience all of the carrot juice benefits there were to experience, a light came on. I was three months into this particular juicing experiment when I had had enough. I put down the juicer parts, emptied the pulp container one last time, and backed away from the carrots. Don't get me wrong, I was enjoying my basic recipe of spinach and carrot juice benefits such as; glowing skin, healthy hair and more energy, but I wasn't enjoying the time spent on it each day.
I'm a very impatient person when it comes to food. I want to eat healthy, but when I'm hungry I want to eat now. I don't want to wait and I don't want to spend my whole day just preparing meals. Enough said. Back to my story. So I had stepped away from my latest juicing experiment but I was still trying to figure out another way to get the carrot juice benefits I was getting before. Without all the work. Well as luck would have it, the answer soon appeared.
A friend of mine introduced me to a miracle and the rest is history. Once I had the right tool, I was able to then devise my own system. It was as simple as that. And if a person wants to start juicing, it doesn't get any simpler than this.
1. Get yourself one of these miracles. I will tell you how at the end of this article 2. Get yourself a big bag of organic carrots 3. Have fresh filtered water on hand 4. get yourself a hand held, medium size strainer. The kind that you hold over a cup or bowl. They're inexpensive and easy to find.
You now have everything you need to start making your own juice. From here you simply clean 3 to 4 carrots, cut them in half, put about a cup of water into the miracle machine, hit the button which turns it into juice in 50 seconds and your done. Pour it into a glass and drink. Some people don't care for the amount of fiber in this juice, which is why I suggest having a strainer on hand. At this point I place the strainer over a cup, I use a large measuring cup, and I pour the carrot juice through the strainer.
I can make this fresh juice in a total of 5 minutes from start to finish. That includes rinsing out the strainer, the miracle machine and any other clean up. I have been doing this for over a year now and I love it!
