Entering into my thirties with juicing..:)

It was my 30th Birthday a few days back. I never thought that I will ever finish a glass full of green color! 

Now I can't believe that I spent 30 full years without this glass filled with all the goodness that my body always was asking for! (Almost screaming for..:(..)

I was very surprised with  the end result. It wasn't the best tasting juice ever (I won't lie.) But it is something that I can get up to every morning probably for rest of my life..:)

This is what I added in my first attempt of juicing!

The next day I added celery, and the next day I replaced celery with cucumber. You can experiment with it as much as you want. The options are endless and you don't really have to be creative for that. Just add one type of fruit and add any greens and other vegetables of your choice. What a great way to get your daily dose of nutrients in just one glass. Much better than popping that Multivitamin pill into your mouth!

So those of you who are afraid of getting started with juicing(like me), just take my word and dive into it. You will be happy that you took the first step.

I am glad that I realised the power of nutrients while entering in my thirties (Better late than never....right?)

HAPPY JUICING!!

Watermelon Juice

A really simple recipe to keep you off the heat.


It was really hot this afternoon here in Los Angeles. That's when I came up with this amazingly simple recipe. I happened to have 2 watermelons that we bought from Costco yesterday.

I started with making a puree of watermelon chunks until fairly smooth. Added freshly ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of honey, added salt to taste.
Oh and I minced fresh leaves of mint and added it in to the grinder along with the watermelon chunks.

After grinding the chunks I squeezed 1 juice of lime in to it. Mixed well and kept it in to the refrigerator. To keep the chilling factor I added ice cubes.

Made my afternoon really refreshing.
