Juicing…

July 18, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Am really getting into this.  A friend of mine recommended a book to me called “7lbs in 7 days” and I was about to dismiss it as yet another diet book and definitely not one that I would be interested in.  However, it is actually about juicing rather than weight loss and was written by Jason “The Juicemaster” Vale - brilliant! 

To be honest, I wasn’t very good at eating lots of vegetables however, over the past few days I’ve been juicing carrots, apples, pineapples, beetroots, courgettes even spinach, kale and parsley. …and OMG…I love wheatgrass and spirulina!!!   All the juices in Jason’s book have tasted divine – bar one, which I will leave for you to discover yourself just like I did! – and the difference in my energy levels both mentally and physically in such a short space of time is remarkable.   I love it and will certainly continue juicing for the foreseeable future.   Let me know if you have any good juice or smoothie recipes.

Reggae Reggae Sauce

levi-roots.jpgHave you tried this yet? 

The avid Dragon’s Den fans amongst you may remember Levi – he was the guy who set his pitch to a nice, easy listening reggae tune.  Anyway, his Reggae Reggae jerk/marinade/BBQ sauce is now in Sainsbury’s so, of course, I had to buy it!  Fantastic – if you haven’t tried it yet then give it a go.  And for those of you watching the pounds (weight ones not sterling!) – it is also low fat, so even better!!

I love the blurb on the bottle “Tune into the flavours and put some music into your food” :) :)
