“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.”

~ Thomas Jefferson

I’m on day 12 of a 30 day juice fast/feast. I’ve resisted juicing all along because it seemed like it would be so expensive. The truth is, it IS expensive. Most days I’m staying at $10 a day or less, but not all (this day goes slightly over). That said, I feel amazing. I’ve lost weight, my skin is like baby skin, my physical and mental energy seems boundless, and I’ve been making excellent progress at the gym. I’ll be sticking with this for at least 30 days total and am pretty excited to see what happens 🙂

I’m not hungry at all, and I make a huge batch of mixed juice and drink it all day long. But that can get boring. Here are some tasty combinations that have made juicing even more interesting for me. You can add any of these juices to a regular or juicing menu, or do it for the full day.
