Special Juice

Towards the end of the year when the Christmas Holidays were starting to go into full gear, my sister Rebecca and I decided to do a sugar free challenge!  It really made me realize how much JUNK we eat during the holidays just because it's there.  And although I have had random urges for peanutbutter-oreo icecream, it's strange how sugar is not appealing AT ALL.  It's kinda nice!

So while I'm on this no sugar kick my roommates and I have been experimenting with no sugar snacks and treats!  So we decided to try lemonade with Agave (a sugar substitute).  Ummm.  Let's just say it was interesting and kinda tasted like a cough drop!  So I just started dumping fruit in it and then stuck it in the fridge and pulled it out this morning and...IT WAS REALLY GOOD!  Why am I so gangster?

Here are some lovely pictures.


 Yes, I know it looks nasty, but looks can be deceiving ;)


Rachel Ward is an expert juicer.


6 Lemons
1 Kiwi
1 Banana
1 gala apple
~ 5 squirts of agave
4-5 cups of water
(all the seeds that you see at the bottom...those are definitely optional)

Boo ya.  I love accidental moments of geniousness.
