Juicing and Protein Shakes

I started juicing a couple weeks ago and am completely in love doing it. Its super easy and super good for your  body. I'm pretty good about eating veggies in my diet but what better way to get all that nutrition in than drinking it up in one sitting? I try to juice at least once a day or every other day depending on what I have going on.

My favorite by far is one I kind of made up-

Cucumber
Celery
Lime
Apple
Mint

It comes out green, my first thought was this does not look good. BUT its very yummy!

Second one I've been doing is with

Carrots
Radish
Oranges

Super easy- bonus I have an orange tree so I don't have to spend $$ on this one

Here are some juicing recipes similar to the ones I make-

Cucumber Slim-Down

1 Small cucumber
2 Stalks or ribs of celery
3 Medium carrots (greens discarded)
4 Apples

Craving Buster

4 to 5 Carrots (greens discarded)
2 Handfuls of baby spinach
2 Celery stalks
1 Apple
A few fresh parsley leaves

AND since I love baking I started saving the carrot "pulp"

and using it to bake. I made 2 separate batches of carrot muffins. First ones came out awesome! Second ones not so much.... I included banana in it and something went wrong. It ended up tasting more like banana bread but didn't look so pretty :/

If you haven't tried juicing I suggest you do! Its fun to experiment with fruits and veggies and making different juices.

Ive also got myself hooked on a protein shake I make after my workouts/dinner or breakfast

1/2 cup Dark chocolate almond milk
1/2 cup water
ice
banana
egg white protein powder
flax

Throw it in a blender! and its heaven!! lol
