This post is prompted by me noticing that my favourite appliance of all time, my Phillips Juicer, is £28 off at Argos, down from £94.99 to £66.59 (and no, I'm not being paid or rewarded in any way to mention any of this, I really do love it). I got it when I was in the first few weeks of pregnancy last year, as my cravings were cantaloupe juice, cantaloupe juice, and more cantaloupe juice. I know, sounds great, but that soon gave way to chocolate cravings that I'm hoping will pass soon, considering the fact that I gave birth 10 months ago.
When I bought the juicer it came with Jason Vale's (aka the Juice Master) book Over 100 Delicious Juices and Smoothies Keeping it Simple, which is a fabulous book. Now, I thought the juicer looked a bit big and scary when I got it, but it's actually very easy to use and clean. That says a lot coming from me, as I can barely change the batteries in the remote control and have yet to learn how to use the DVD player.
Today I am going to try the juice "cellulite eliminator"....gasp...could there really be such a thing?! Sounds about as believable as finding David Beckham in my bed on a Saturday morning. Well, there was that one weekend in Madrid but I'm not supposed to talk about that. The recipe is simple... 1 apple, 1 pear, 1/2 pink grapefruit, 2 sticks of celery, a few mint leaves and 4 ice cubes. Juice everything except the mint, which you chop and sprinkle on top of the juice once you've poured it into the glass.
I will report back tomorrow. And maybe even post a picture of my thighs...not to scare you all of course, because by then they will be fabulous and cellulite free ;-)
This is the juicer I'm talking about in case anyone's looking to get one:
