For over 730 days I’ve been religiously drinking my green juice every morning at 6am! I’ve never missed a juice (unless I was traveling) and I swear that this has given me energy for the entire day- especially when I have to sing, dance, and teach 5 year olds for seven hours- with no nap time!! My friend Shelly introduced me to the Vitamix a couple of years ago and that’s when it all started for me and my family! We juice everyday and use the same ingredients every morning! I am a creature of habit and when I find something I LOVE…I become obsessed!!
I know people have their own special ingredients that they like to put in their juice, but for me this is what I’ve been using- and I’ve added some more ingredients that give it a little more sweetness that I enjoy! Everything I buy is from Trader Joe’s because it’s super easy and convenient for me but Costco works just the same!! Oh, and I always start with fruit first and then build up to veggies then ice to top it off!
