JuiceLUSH - High Maintenance 'Orange' Juice

Most of the juices I make have very little prep required - a quick wash, maybe chopping an apple - but this juice required a little more.  But it was worth it to try Sweet Potato Juice!

Watch my video below to see the ingredients, 

the juicing process, and Hannah's toddler taste test.

JuiceLUSH - Kale Lemonade

After a few "slightly icky" juices, Hannah was starting to get a little weary of the green juices.  Was it going to be 'gingery' or 'spicy' or just too... green?  I was on the hunt for a tasty green juice, and I knew Granny Smith Apples and Lemon were the key.

JuiceLUSH - Apple Kiwi Carrot

One of the greatest things about juicing is that it is a quick and easy way to incorporate lots of fresh fruit and vegetables into your diet.  PLUS, since we've been making so much juice, we're buying our produce in bulk, so our counters and refrigerator are full of healthy food, which I think is a great precedent to set for our children.

Hannah really enjoys juicing.  She likes helping me pick our different fruits and veggies to combine, pushing down the plunger, or stirring the juice, but she loves having the honor of the first taste.  I try to include a ToddlerTasteTest in all of my JuiceLUSH vlogs, and I think they're hilarious.

JuiceLUSH - Fennel Juice

William is now almost 10 months old, and breastfeeding is going really well.  I did have concerns about trying to lose weight while breastfeeding, because I don't want to do anything to reduce my milk supply.  

I found a juice recipe that contained fennel and remembered that many of the herbal teas for breastfeeding mothers contains fennel, and wondered if it would increase my supply.  Turns out I have definitely noticed an increase in my supply!

(While breastfeeding, you need to consult a doctor about any weight loss program.)
