Do Your Body Good

Just a few weeks ago I stopped by the local health food store here in Estero called Perfectly Natural where I buy most of my baking goods and red-lined items (all types of goodies that ring up at only .99 cents!) I was standing at the counter when I noticed a menu of juices; being parched from all of my heavy-duty bargain shopping I figured I would try one for a change. My vegetable juice creation looked so scrumtious pouring out from the lip of the juicer, and 10 dollars later I was sipping it down through a straw. I couldn't believe my cup of juice was that much money and I slowly enjoyed it as I realized I would never order one again for that price. I guess it's the amount of produce that goes into making one juice that makes it so pricey.

The days following my wholesome juice experience I started saving for a juicer I could call my own. I did my research, looked at reviews and got helpful guidance from a friend of mine who recently purchased their own Jack La Lanne juicer. The next morning I was standing in line at Super Target buying my own Jack La Lanner Power Juicer!

To say the least my juicer has been by FAR the best investment i've made all year (so far!)

If you do get lucky enough to one day own your very own POWER JUICER, I will reccommend the following fruits and vegetables to juice that will not only tantilize your tastebuds but also provide you with the freshest taste loaded with antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and more:

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Carrots
• Watermelon
• Celery
• Arugula
• Tomatoes
• Cranberries
• Lemons & Limes
• Oranges
• Apples
• Blackberries
• Grapefruit & MORE

I've used all of those fruits and veggies listed above to create some of the BEST tasting juices ever! The taste is ridiculously refreshing and after your third sip or so you can almost feel your body detoxifying while soaking in the goodness from the juice. If you talk to anyone who does own a juicer the first thing they will complain about is going to be the cleanup process that follows every juice session. Yeah, it's annoying to have to take the machine apart and rinse off the pulp and juice but in the end it's worth every second of rinsing.

Juicing is good for your body for endless reasons; detoxifies, weight loss, lower cholesterol, fight premature aging, add so many more vegetables to your daily diet, boost your immune system, and is good for your overall health. So please buy a juicer or at least find some place near you that does the juicing for you! Only if your willing to cough up the cash for one of these health-friendly drinks.

Juice & enjoy

BLAST OFF!

Tired of waking up on beautiful Sunday mornings and craving warm pancakes only to resort back to a boring bowl of sugary cereal instead because you really don't feel like mixing, measuring and then cleaning up? I've discovered the best solution to this dilemma- BATTER BLASTER! 

I'm usually skeptical of food that comes out of aerosol cans but for some reason, maybe because I was feeling extra risky during my grocery trip to Publix, I decided to buy the over-sized can of pancake batter. 

Other than a frying pan, Pam and a spatula all you need for light, fluffy, delicious pancakes is a can of Batter Blaster. Shake, hold up side down over a hot, lightly greased pan and create any size pancake your heart desires. Get artsy with it and make different shapes and letters with your blaster! It also works great in waffle bakers! I was very pleased with this product and to top it off- it's organic! A dream come true to me since I love a nice heaping pile of pancakes every now and then.

I like to add to the nutritional value of my pancake feast by topping of my stack with an assortment of fresh fruit and a drizzle of Agave nectar. 

Cleanup is a breeze- just run the nozzle under water and toss it in the fridge until next time. I promise this can of batter will make your life easier and satisfy your every need for a filling and healthy breakfast. Try it and let me know what you think, you'll never go back to mixing powders and eggs and milk ever again.

SPLENDA is the devil

Hi Moldy Members! I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything lately, I've just been up to my neck in school work and the dreaded chocolate factory. I have something great this time though- I'm sure you will appreciate it as much as I do.

First, go into your pantry or cubbard and bring your trash can with you. Dispose of the following items: Splenda, Sweet N' Low, Sugar, Equal, NutraSweet, and any other artificial garbage sweetener you have laying around.

Second, invest in the best. Raw Agave Nectar! This sweetener is beneficial to your health and most importantly it comes from the same plant as Tequila! How exciting! Agave Nectar is fresh and delicious and it's suitable for all sweetening purposes! I add a few tablespoons to my coffee, to my baked sweets instead of sugar or molasses, and to my morning bowl of cereal for that extra bit of flavor. The best thing about it is that it won't overpower whatever you drizzle it on. It just adds this little bit of heavenly sweetness to just about anything that needs a little extra kick! PS- ITS ORGANIC! Woot Woot!

                                                

In case this product is unavailable to you or it just doesn't seem like an option for your needs- please consider RAW Turbinado sugar. I was introduced to this amazingly sweet and healthy sugar option by my health-conscious and beautiful Aunt Pat. It's so much better than white sugar, it's not processed and it doesn't taste like crap!

If you haven't already been using Agave Nectar, I hope that I have inspired you to try! I promise you will love it and use it on everything!

Love

Lindsay
