Juicers

Today's juice was basically the same recipe as I have been using except I threw in 2 limes.
It added a nice refreshing flavor.  I feel like you can never have too many limes in anything.
I don't ever follow a recipe strictly when it comes to juicing.
I just pull stuff out of the fridge and start juicing it until I get enough for us to drink.
I do tend to go heavy on the oranges for now.  It makes it easier for some to drink.
See all that foam.
I don't like it.
That's why I am hoping to acquire a new juicer soon.
I have done most of my research on a favorite juicer site called discountjuicers.
They have a huge variety of juicers at competitive prices as well as reviews and videos.
I could write descriptions about all the different types here but discount juicers has done it for me.
Click HERE to see their reviews on all the juicers.
I am currently leaning towards the Omega 8003.
"a single gear, masticating juice extractor that will serve all of your juicing needs and many other needs, such as mincing, grinding, homogenizing, etc."
It also juices wheatgrass which I hope to start in the future.
I did indulge in some french fries today as well as yesterday.  We have company and its still too hard to resist eating them as we drove out of the drive-thru.  People who don't have In-N-Out Burger in their states pretty much demand it when they come here and I am happy to oblige.  I just don't eat it.  But the fries, its hard not to partake.  I have a weakness for french fries, donuts (my fav) and chimichangas.
Terrible for my body, yummy to my mouth.
Its an emotional barrier I will have to overcome.
I can do it.  But I have to approach it slowly.
If not, I will fail.  I tend to dive right into things and then burn out.
I don't want to do that this go around.  So for now its just adding juicing to our lifestyle.
We did have an incredibly delicious meal tonight where I copied Chipotle eateries.
Romaine lettuce, brown rice, 3 varieties of beans, pico de gallo, salsa, grilled orange, red, and green peppers with onions and jalapenos.  And grilled chicken for those who wanted it.
I won't force my family to eat like I do.  I am making changes slowly.

Today's Change: The change I noticed today was that the peppers tasted like CANDY to me and one of my sons.I don't know if that is because our tastebuds are changing or if the grilling brought out its natural sugars. All I know is that it was like a party in my mouth, and I don't normally feel that way about peppers.
