Adventure of Juicing and Blending

We've been juicing and blending for the past month and we love it! I can admit I'm a little strange when it comes to making sure my kids have a balance diet and with that strangeness I was getting worried (I know it's normal, but I didn't like it LOL) when Jacob was going through his pickyness on food. Instead of pumping him with even more vitamins/supplements, I figured this was a perfect solution on getting him to eat more greens and veggies during this stage. Don't get me wrong...they both are excellent eaters and overall loves eating veggies/fruits, but this was a great way to ensure that they are getting what they need every single day whether or not we have a "cheating" day or not.

As most of you know, I'm a researching freak so it took me a good 2 weeks of research and watching Youtube videos to figure out what the best juicer and blender would be for our family.

I finally decided on the Omega Juicer and the Vitamix blender. I love coming up with different concoctions to add to our recipe collection. Some are excellent and some...well not so yummy and Leah will be the first to tell me "Mommy, this is not good" or "Mommy, this is yucky". The ones I love to hear are "Mmmm mommy, this is so so good" or "Mmmm, this is so yummy". Even some of the not so tasty ones, Jacob will down and sometimes even ask for seconds :)

Mmmm....this one was tasty!

I think this was carrot, cucumber, apple juice
Leah is awesome at juicing!
