I had to share my friend Wendy's brilliant twist to her January juice regime. We were having a foot massage last Saturday and talking about juice recipes when Wendy mentioned her brilliant twist to my juice plan. I'll let her tell you all about it:

Pumpkin pistachio peanut butter pancakes, triple layer chocolate buttercream birthday cake, bacon egg & cheeseeverything bagels, champagne and St Germaine, my list of holiday and birthday indulgences goes on and on. Sowhen Annette told me about her 21 day juice cleanse….I was in! Plus I just got a brand new Vitamix that I was dying to use.And so it began…Day 1: was kinda fun, it was all new and exciting. Day 2: I was a little angry and hungry. Day 3: I was tired and feeling a little loopy. On Day 4: the magic happened! I was feeling awesome, light, energetic, my skin felt glowy and I knew I was in for the full 21 days. To help me from getting bored and straying from the plan I knew I had to get a little creative with my juices.So here a few ideas from my little bag of tricks: I love drinking my breakfast juice in a fancy glass, it feels special! My fav is my 1930's champagne glass! I transport my juice to work in cute little glass milk bottles, so my portions are already made up, anything to keep it easy! (http://www.shopsweetlulu.com/item/Petite-Glass-Bottles/23/c4). During the first few days, my bottles were all the same color (blech…boring!) So now, I mix up my colors. For example my juice today included 1 banana, 1 orange, cup of pineapple, cup of blueberries, 2 cups of spinach & 1 cup of ice…and an apple…I always throw in a apple! So instead of putting it all in at once I started with the banana, orange, pineapple & apple, blend and pour the pretty orange-y mixture into one of my milk bottles. With plenty of goodness remaining in the Vitamix, I threw in the blueberries, blend, and pour the pretty purple-y juice into a bottle. Then for one last variation I added the spinach and filled my remaining bottles with the green mix! It's just a fun way to add a variety of color and taste into your day!
