Sept – Juicing

Juicing, Days 1-5

05 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

When planning my goals for the year, I had dreams of a flourishing garden that would completely support my September goal of juicing. Well, yours truly didn’t get her garden planted until the very last day of May. I also thought it would be cheating to plant anything other than seeds, but now I’m hearing it’s totally normal to Read more

Juicing, Days 6-9

09 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 6th: Up to this point, I’ve been composting the pulp after juicing. Pulp from fruits and vegetables can be saved for use in many recipes, such as frozen desserts, soups, sauces, casseroles, vegetable stocks, dressings, baked goods, salads and many other dishes. I think I’ll stick with composting for now! 😉 This morning I made Read more

Juicing, Days 10-12

13 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 10th: All pits should be removed from fruit before juicing with the exception of citrus fruits, grapes, papaya and melons. Those can be put through the juicer. The softer the texture of a fruit or vegetable, the thicker the juice produced. Apricots, peaches, pears, melons, and strawberries are soft-textured fruits, so their juice is very Read more

Juicing, Days 13-16

17 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 13th: Some juices produce a lot of foam and froth. To make the juice clear, filter the juice through a cheese cloth, nut milk bag (whatever that is) or a mesh strainer to reduce pulp and foam. This morning I made a juice called “Citrus Apples” and it was really yummy. I substituted 2 oranges Read more

Juicing, Days 17-19

19 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 17th: It’s important to know the difference between blending and juicing. A blender mixes and pulverizes while a juicer separates the juice and fiber. Fiber is an essential part of our long-term health and a healthy diet. Juices shouldn’t replace regular meals except during short-term cleansing programs, but I’m debating whether to continue juicing in Read more

Juicing, Days 20-23

24 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 20th: Today I had planned to make a juice called “Tropical Cucumber” but Joe couldn’t find guavas at the grocery, so I wasn’t able to make today’s juice. I don’t feel too bad about it because I ended up juicing twice yesterday. I juiced once in the morning, which I blogged about and then I Read more

Juicing, Days 24-26

26 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 24th: There are many myths about juicing, one being juice doesn’t contain fiber. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Juice contains soluble fiber, which absorbs water and provides a bulking matter that acts as a prebiotic to support good bacterial growth and digestive health. The process of juicing extracts most of Read more

Juicing, Days 27-30

30 SeptemberAngela Heck Mueller

September 27th: Most Americans don’t consume the daily recommended amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. However, juicing helps individuals meet the daily recommendation in one drink. This morning I made a juice called the “Apple Basic.” The flavor was a perfect mix of savory and sweet and it was nice and creamy. Apple Basic 3 apples 2 Read more
