Diabetes runs in my family, both my father and brother had it. When I drink juices, I always go for the ones that are almost all vegetable based. So I purchased a Nutribullet and decided to give it a try. That had really bothered me when shopping for juicers, how much of the vegetables and fruits was left over and thrown out after juicing with the masticating and centrifugal juicers. It was about 1/3 the cost of the masticating and centrifugal juicers I had seen on Amazon and I really liked how you got the benefit of eating the whole plant and not just the juice from the plant. One day I was in Target and ran across this, a NutriBullet. Irritated by how long it was taking to ship, I canceled the order and decided to see what I could find locally. I finally decided to buy a centrifugal style juicer since those seem to work the fastest, although they aren’t quite as efficient at removing all the juice from the vegetable. I ordered a centrifugal juicer but after 5 days, it still hadn’t even shipped. I know myself well and if it’s not fast, I’m not going to do it. Also, it took several minutes to make a glass of juice from a huge pile of vegetables. Masticating seems to be the most efficient at getting all the good stuff out of vegetables, but I was surprised after watching a YouTube video by how much of the vegetable and fruit was left over after the juicing. In the process I learned there are different kinds of juicers and the most popular seem to be the centrifugal and masticating styles. This sent me down the path one evening of looking at juicers online at Amazon. I like the way they taste but they are super expensive. Recently I’ve started buying those funny looking green juices you find in the refrigerator section at Whole Foods, since I know I don’t eat enough vegetables.
But if it’s just me, I’m more prone to grab a handful of nuts or eat a piece of salmon and call it a meal.
I love to eat but don’t necessarily enjoy cooking unless it’s for a party or a gathering of friends or family, then I do look forward to cooking. Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m sharing an edible “Before and After” for this Met Monday.
Welcome to the 326th Metamorphosis Monday!
