Juice Healthy
It is easy to get nutritious juice, with the right tools and the right advice. Juice can form a valuable part of any diet. Getting started with juicing is not difficult, but a some sensible hints are essential. Read on and we will provide some tips on how to get started, and how to get better juice.
You can maximize the health benefits of your juicing routine by drinking your juice fresh – immediately after producing it – whenever possible. Some of the most beneficial nutrients in juice are extremely time-sensitive and begin to break down rapidly. By drinking the juice you make as soon as you make it, you can get as many of these important nutrients as possible.
Use cucumber as a great flavor disguiser when you are juicing greens. Cucumber is excellent at masking the strong flavors inherent in greens. A juice’s health benefits aren’t going to do you much good if you can’t stand to drink it. Cucumber also has the extra added benefit of being chockfull of important vitamins and nutrients itself.
Juice Healthy
Detoxing the colon is fun and easy by juicing! Apples and lemons are an excellent choice for a detox recipe as they both are known to help cleanse the colon. You can also include beets, carrots, celery, ginger, and radishes. Almost any juice you make will help to heal your body, so feel free to use whatever items you really enjoy.
If you’re serious about juicing, you should dedicate a cool, dark area of your house to storing produce which can be kept long-term. For example, apples can be kept in the garage over the winter as long as they’re not allowed to freeze. Just wash them, get rid of any bad ones, and store them in a covered but breathable container.
Juice Healthy
While juicing add some fish oil or cod liver oil. These two types of oils will help with the absorption of vitamin K. The fats from fish oil are very beneficial for health and gives you the right amount and the right kinds of fat needed for vitamin K absorption.
When it comes to juicing, one thing that you want to keep in mind is that not all fruits taste good when combined with each other. This is important to consider in terms of taste and overall enjoyment of your juice. Probably the most difficult fruit to mix would be certain types of melon.
Juice Healthy
A great juicing tip is to not overdo it if you’re relatively new to juicing. Our bodies need time to adjust to changes. If you start drinking super healthy green juices, you might find yourself making several trips to the bathroom every day. Moderation is the key when it comes to juicing.
In this article we have discussed some essential tips to get you informed and enthusiastic about juicing. We hope the article will help you to become a happy, healthy juicing fan. Juicing doesn’t have to be a passing fad, you can make it an enjoyable and health-giving aspect of your daily routine.

Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cup Dry whole wheat elbow pasta
- 1/2 Head of cauliflower
- 2 tsp Canola oil
- 2 cup Low fat milk, cold
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 2 cup Low fat cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
Servings:
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. No need to add extra oil or salt at this point.
- Wash the cauliflower, cut into large pieces, and boil until very soft. Drain the water and mash until very smooth. Mix the pasta and cauliflower in an 8×8 baking dish. Stir in the canola oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour. Pour into a saucepan and continuously stir on medium heat (don’t go away) until it starts to thicken. This is one of the methods for making white sauce but without having to add butter (the other method, making a roux, requires that you cook the butter and flour, then add the milk). When the milk thickens, add the cheese, and continue to stir until all cheese has melted. Pour the milk and cheese mixture on top of the pasta and cauliflower. Mix well.Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. If you like, broil for 5 minutes or until the top layer has a golden crust.
Recipe Notes
Prepare in advance. You just need to reheat for 10 mins before you eat it. Don’t forget to cover it when you reheat it in the oven.

Hosts and hostesses sometimes worry about what food to serve at their child’s party, or wonder if they can handle all the work of a theme party. It’s hard to find food that everyone likes, and making party decorations and favors can be tiring.
Why not make food or crafts the theme in a “make your own” party? Guests can make their own food as part of the party fun, and then everyone can make food according to his or her taste. Guests can make masks, jewelry, or other crafts. There are ideas along this line for almost all ages. Here are some suggestions.
1. Make Your Own Pizza
This one has all kinds of possibilities, from sweet to savory. For individual pizza crusts, you can use pita bread, homemade or store-bought mini pizza dough or crusts, bagels, or English muffins. Some toppings you can put out might include some of the following:
Make Your Own Pizza
* Peanut butter
* Jelly
* Chocolate chips
* Tomato sauce
* Shredded cheese
* Pepperoni
* Olives
* Peppers
* Ham
* Pineapple
* Cream cheese
* Fruit
These pizza ideas can be mixed and matched, some eaten cold and some baked. Just be sure an adult does the baking for a kids’ party!
2. Make Your Own Shish kabob
Make your own
Like pizzas, shish kabobs have all kinds of possibilities. Set out some of the following foods along with skewers. If you like, you can cook meats ahead of time and just heat the kabobs under the broiler or in the microwave.
* Cheese cubes
* Chunks of cooked chicken, beef, and ham
* Bell peppers
* Onions
* Cherry tomatoes
* Chunked fruit such as pineapple, bananas, cherries, melon, apple, kiwi, etc.
* Marshmallows
3. Make Your Own Cupcake or Cookie
Cupcakes and cookies can be decorated or made by the guests. For cupcakes, it might be better for guests to do the decorating. Cookies might be fun if guests cut them out with cookie cutters, bake them, and then decorate them. However you do it, here are some ideas for decorating those cupcakes and cookies.
Make your own cupcake
* Frosting in various colors (Use a separate butter knife for each color, or put the frosting in plastic zip-top bags, snip a tiny bit off of one of the bag’s corners, and squeeze the frosting out the hole)
* Candies and chocolates
* Sprinkles
* Sugar paste (This can be rolled, shaped, and cut into all kinds of decorative shapes, even flowers)
4. Make Your Own Stuffed Animal
There are several ways you can do this kind of “make your own” party. You can:
* Go to a store where guests can choose their own “unstuffed” animal, and then store workers stuff each child’s animal.
* If you’re handy with fabric, you can sew unstuffed animal “skins” ahead of time, leaving a small opening for guests to use polyester or cotton fill to stuff their creations. Then stitch the small opening closed.
* Use white socks, fabric glue, and fabric markers or paint to let kids create their own sock creature. Guests can decorate the socks before stuffing, and the socks can be tied shut once stuffed.
5. Other Ideas
Make your own chocolate
Some other quick ideas which you can use as a springboard include:
a) Make Your Own Candle
b) Make Your Own Chocolate Bar
c) Make Your Own Sundae
d) Make Your Own Mask
e) Make Your Own Jewelry
