It goes down real smooth ‘n such: 2 apples, 2 celery stalks, 2 handfuls spinach, 3 large kale leaves, 2 handfuls baby carrots, and 3 sprigs parsley. Don’t be afraid of the Beastmode Power Juice, my peoples.
Yet this is only but one rendition of my Beastmode Power Juice. Other concoctions I’ve indulged in are:
- apple, spinach, cucumber
- apple, spinach kale, ginger, celery, cilantro
- apple, carrot, pineapple
There are so many possibilities and I’m just getting started. I’ve been juicing for over 3 weeks now. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness in forever. It’s quite accidental that I’ve had no milk, minimal meats & cheese, and very little carbs in these past weeks. I didn’t do that on purpose. My cravings for those kinds of foods has decreased while my stomach’s desire for varying renditions of the Beastmode Juice has increased.
On average, I’m spending about $30 for a small hoard of fruits & veggies (primarily veggies) that provides me with about 4 days of juicing. That breaks down to about $7.50 per day. Ya, it’s pricey. I know it. But the benefits are worth it.
The gremlin-kids have been helping me juice the veggies. They really get into it and have even been open to taste-testing the green-ish of concoctions. As for the husband? After I begged him 6 times (not kidding) to watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, he finally did. It made such an impact on him that he stopped teasing me about my juicing and is now considering a 10-day juice fast. WHAT!?
ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF WITH THESE FREE JUICING RESOURCES
- Fat Sick & Nearly Dead on Youtube: Watch it for free. The entire 90-minute movie is available for viewing. It will impact you for the better. I promise.
- Best selling juicers & reviews: I’m using a hand-me-down Jack LaLanne juicer right now. It works fine. But still going back & forth between purchasing a new Breville or Omega juicer. Decisions, decisions…
- A-Z Produce Prep: How to prep your fruits & veggies for juicing.
- Juicing the Rainbow: This is a daily online “newspaper” that brings together articles, Youtube vids, photos, stories, etc related to juicing from around the web. You can also subscribe for free to have it delivered to your Inbox. I did that because I don’t wanna miss anything. Juicing the Rainbow always has nuggets of good info and great tips for a healthy dose of juicing inspiration.
It also does me well to simply Google the particular veggie I’m juicing to learn more about it, such as using the keywords: “spinach juicing benefits”. That type of search brings up a plethora of good info.
If you’re not sold on the idea of juicing fruit & veggies, perhaps an alternative juicing of ingredients will tickle your fancy? Here’s the recipe:
- 2 road-killed raccoon claws (rancid, never fresh)
- 3 slabs muddied elephant skins
- 1 partially-deceased blobfish
- the amphibious scales from 10,000 male-Mermaids (do not substitute with female scales)
This juiced-specialty will have you feelin’ like you just got baptized in the waters of the Fountain of Youth.

If your juicer’s motor burns out while preparing the above recipe, then it’s probably your own fault. Now goodbye.

April 19, 2013 at 7:49 amSounds yummy… I don’t have a juicer, but I need to get back into smoothies. Now that the temps are warm, seems like it’s time! I used to make green smoothies at my mom’s house and she would always tell me how gross they looked… but OH how yummy they tasted 😀
Happy Friday!

April 19, 2013 at 8:19 amOh, how i love juices like these! And i do have them, on some days, when i can coax my old LaLane juicer to work. It will transform your life — it got me off of sugar for good, and helped me lose the weight over 7 years ago.

April 19, 2013 at 10:09 amLucky me, the local organic cafe is right across the street from me. I have similar drinks every so often, but not daily. Same thing with wheat grass. Probably should be doing more of it, but right now I’m eating noting but veggies, eggs and (some) meats anyway. When I made the decision t get dairy and grains out of my life, my mind, not just my body awakened…

April 19, 2013 at 12:41 pmSomething about green drinks, screams DONT DRINK ME!! It puts me in the mind of that stuff that transformed the ninja turtles, but after getting over the visual hurdle, the beastmode juice isnt so bad. Love the tips here. This post also has some great info on using fruits and veggies in your diet.

April 22, 2013 at 8:58 pmI have wanted to juice for FOREVER. Your green juice looks BANGING. I don’t have a juicer and I am on a semi-spending strike. I just bought a boxing set for home because heck, it’s not like I don’t have a heavy bag with gloves in the basement, a gym membership to a gym with cardio boxing, etc etc. I think I will ask for a juicer for Mother’s Day or my bornday!

April 25, 2013 at 7:42 pm$7.50 a day, is that for how many meals worth of juice? Do you eat one meal as juice and the others as regular, or all as juice? I was all gung ho about doing this after watching the movie, but the whole you have to clean up the juicer after part, the drinking a juice makes me feel like i should still be eating, that blah juice fast, and the high price of all those veggies has put me off. At some point, i might re-try it. as far as smoothies go, banana in unsweetened chocolate almond milk blended with ice is yum and my new thing.

April 27, 2013 at 8:25 amMy parents just bought a juicer, so it looks like I’m going to have to sneak over to their house and try out this smoothie. Also, I really enjoy that you have the list of how to prepare certain fruits. Knowing me, I would forget to core the apple and destroy the juicer entirely with my absentmindedness.

Most people assume that an electric juicer is the way to do
it. If you’re planning on squeezing the lemons on your own and
not using the pulp, then you’ll want to have at least
a dozen lemons in order to get enough juice to fill a
small pitcher.

Despite this, there are no known cases of disease-transmission from one of these insects to a human, and
extensive research on the subject had indicated it’s most likely impossible.
