The Fastpitch Juicing Journal

Of course I've heard of juicing a long, long time ago. But only now, yes now, in 2008 am I finally really, seriously interested in juicing. Why? Well, aside from what I mentioned in my last post, I finally had a first hand experience with it.

For our 12th wedding anniversary, my husband and I were treated to a breakfast buffet at a local hotel. It just so happened that the breakfast buffet included a juicing station. To be honest, I wasn't all that interested in it. It didn't look all that appetizing to me. My husband, however, was the one that wanted to give it a try. So he went over and made himself some pineapple juice. I decided to give it a try to and juiced a spear of pineapple, a piece of apple, and a piece of carrot. Still, the juice didn't look all that appetizing and I certainly wasn't all that sure of the combination I had chosen because I knew absolutely nothing about how to juice at that time. Funny thing is though, when I finally decided to take a tentative sip of my juicing creation, I was utterly surprised at the taste! It was great. My juice actually tasted good! Sweet and tasty, nice and cold, it was a very refreshing part of my morning.

That experience is what made me realize that juicing might actually work for my family. Heck if it tastes great AND is healthy for you, why not make it a part of your life?
