… and Flavour on the beat!
Happy November friends! I hope your month and week are off to a great start.
Just so you know, there are 57 days left in 2019. As much as I want to say that the year has really flown by, i’m excitedly looking forward to Christmas and the end of the year in general.
On Friday (last week), I realised that I haven’t paid a lot of attention to some of the health goals I set for myself at the start of the year. One of my goals was to introduce juicing into my lifestyle habits as I’m not the biggest fan of eating raw vegetables. Given the option of either eating or drinking something raw, I always opt for drinking as it satisfies my lazy needs.
This brings me to celery juice. I don’t like celery in general. Something about the texture just doesn’t sit well with me when I start chewing it so I’ve always stayed away from it. When the celery juice trend kicked in, I was excited because it gave me the opportunity to try celery again without having to chew it. You can read more about the benefits of celery juice here.
I made myself about 500ml celery juice on Friday using about 3 sticks of celery, ½ of a cucumber and a handful of mint. I blended everything with about 300ml of water in my Nutribullet. I had to get creative with straining the juice – I used a clean and new laundry bag and it worked out perfectly fine.
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and will be doing this weekly going forward. If you’re stuck on what to do with the remaining celery and you don’t like eating celery like myself, cut them up into small chunks and freeze it while it’s still fresh. That’s exactly what I did.
