Juice!

Since I was diagnosed last year we have tried to be diligent at eating better, meaning we try to eat A LOT more vegetables. We also try to eat more apples and whole grains. Since we are not big fans of just eating apples we've been juicing them. We got our juicer at Costco and have been very happy with it for the money we paid. I started off juicing apples with lemon, it tastes like lemonade, we all love it. I usually juice first thing in the morning and now try to add a few peppers and broccoli stems to the juice. Adding the vegies doesn't change the taste that much and this way we get vegetables at breakfast, lunch AND dinner! It is a little expensive but worth it for the health benefits. For the four of us I usually juice 6-8 small/medium apples, 1/2 lemon, 8 small peppers and leftover broccoli stems and this produces about four glasses of juice, the kids drink a little less than Steve and I. Anyone interested in juicing should go for it!
