Who has control issues with juice? Me! Me! Me! Rarely do I want it, but last night, after finishing dinner, I did. And my client’s all access refrigerator featured gorgeous containers of it.
But one glass would morph to nine, and I’d be out 1,000 calories in the end, causing me to skip food, prompting crankiness, on the very next day. No bueno. So I forced myself to bed.
Oh, ho! I travel with my VitaMix! And organic carrots! Add the client’s oranges! And we now have a breakfast party.
Chop chop chop!
Offer one carrot to Gwendolyn and friend.
Peel the oranges!
Carrots first! Like ladies! (Coincidentally, both should be thin, too, wink wink).
Oranges follow. Like men. ;)
Ice cubes! Plus enough H2O to fill a Wonder Woman glass!
Ready!
Set… Go! Blend for 90 seconds!
So pretty and raw!
Voilà!
And this is breakfast! (and the shadow of my prim and proper raised pinky finger).
And this, dear readers, is fantastic management of consumption.
What is your favourite juice?

Mmmmmmmmmm, tasty! I’d like that juice! My favourite is the raw juice that Wagamamas restaurant do- it has tomato, carrot, cucumber, orange and apple in it, it’s delicious!
Ohhh! That sounds divine! The tomato and cucumber sound so fresh! I shall concoct it, dubbing it the Kezzie Concoction!!!
Target brand tomato juice. I could drink the whole bottle in one setting. It has perfect salty taste to it and salt is my weakness. The colder the better.
Am totally craving raw tomato juice after yours and Kezzie’s commentary!!!!!!!!!
First, I though “No, this post is so not me!” I don’t do juices. I’d rather crunch on the bag of raw carrots.
But. I remembered that I drink some tomato juice from time to time as a snack, and still I’d prefer to eat the whole ones too.
I’m glad you enjoying your real juices as this one looks super cool. Fits with the glass!
Third comment about tomato juice!!! It shall be on my mind all day long!!! Is your non love affair with juice anything to do with the calories? I’m very anti liquid calorie except for with wine, kombucha, and gin… But now, on this raw diet, most of my food is liquid and so very satisfying. So although I love juice, I’m not conventionally a juice girl bc I’d drink the entire bottle, but I am now evolving and accepting it as regular appearance in my diet. Ta da!
It always changes for me.
Right now it is tomato, celery, miso, garlic, cayenne, oregano and smoked paprika.

Omg. I think dinner’s going to be tomato juice. With celery! My brain is enamoured.
I’m not a huge juice fan but I also agree about the tomato juice. Sometimes made into a bloody marry :)
I just laughed wickedly at that!!! ;)
Love the dog photo- they are so cute!!
YUM! Fresh juice is the best! I have a juicer, and I start each and every day with a green juice or an orange one like this one. I feel so juicy and fresh and hydrated after my breakfast juice- I just love it.
Have a lovely day Nicole.
And I feel so fresh and hydrated after reading your pretty comment!!! Btw, Earth to Sonja! :)
This looks delicious! My favorite juices are usually green. Blueberries, spinach, spirulina, banana..mm I want juice.
Thank you for not mentioning tomato like has everyone else!!!!!!!!! My mouth is watering, just thinking of it!!! And no wonder your bod looks so fab… you fuel it with the highest grade octane! Your body’s a Benz. Love!!!
Well, you’ll have a nice ‘tan’ with all of those orange foods ;) You certainly won’t be short of vitamin A or C.
Juices are fantastic for those with willpower – I hate juice fasts and people who do them (other than you of course) because I’m a jealous fat cow who doesn’t have the will to stick to them. Because I’m a fattie I like to eat my calories and I’m too scared to waste them on juice. I like smoothies though – I make huge bowls of smoothie with 200g frozen raspberries, masses of ice (fills right up to the top of the blender), water and enough Truvia to sweeten ten smoothies for a normal person :P Hey, if it has no calories then I really don’t care.

I am mobile all day, and this requires a dedicated reply!!! More later, non-cow!!! :D
“Hey, if it has no calories then I really don’t care.” Love!!! So before ending Bulimia, I was a 9 packets of Splenda in my coffee kind of gal. And coffees were bought ALL DAY LONG, keeping my head in the corporate game until I could eat freely, aka binge. (I was still purging regular meals during the day, mind you). But yea. Remember when I tried a Juice Fast last year? (Fashionably Grey). Didn’t work very well. So not only has my body grown larger (haha) but my open mindedness has done so, too. LOL. I’m not on a juice fast; but I do, indeed, get a high from realising that most of my daily calories are consumed via liquid. Right now? That would be gin. I just poured a gorgeous glass. You’re not fat. You’re not a cow. You’re not even abnormal for eating Truvia for 10 normal people. You are Jessica. And you are fucking fabulous. xoxoxo
My favourite is banana, mango!! Soooo yummy and smooth…not as low cal as others, but it IS my fav. Xxoo
Delicious.
I love banana!
I love mango.
They are the only 2 tropical fruits which I allow into my diet, in moderation.
See tomorrow’s WIAW as 50% proof. ;)
PS: Does Heathcliffe fancy either? Gwendolyn loves mango. You’d think a monkey would love banana, but she does not. La la:)
Haha…Heathcliffe hates banana, but is a mango addict!! He even tries to lick my mango hand cream!
Ha ha ha!!! I limit Gwendolyn’s licking of hand cream bc of the calories. ;)
I shared a savory juice up thread, but here is my choice for a refreshing juice:
Watermelon, goji berries, strawberry and lime.
Tastes just like a margarita but super clean and energizing!
Does it make you feel just like a margarita does? :)
Only when I add tequila ; )
Just made me LOL! Sounds perfect. ;)
The wonders of a juicer! Haha.
I don’t like drinking juices that much, although I do like thick (have to be thick since I can’t stand watered down smoothies) berry or mango smoothies!
Yes! And bc this is a VitaMix, it does not sift out the fiber which I love. This juice was thick and creamy and full of pulp, just as I love it!
Am I only one who doesn’t like tomato juice that much? :P
It’s precisely the saltiness that I dislike. I like my juices sweet, and my soups salty :D
My favourite juice would be orange juice. With mango juice, pineapple juice and sweet lime juice coming close after!
Yes! You are the only one!!! Weirdo! ;) xo
I like a juice of spinach, kale, celery, cucumber, superiority, lemon and green apple
I have control issues with all kinds of juices/smoothies/shakes!! Basically any cold drinks. Alcoholic ones, I deal with better though. Hot chocolate is quite hard for me, though coffee, I usually am able to control. It’s a mind fuck.
You speak my mind, girlfriend! Why is it SO hard with liquid?! Because it’s so “taboo” during that very first “diet”? And it just tastes so good that we keep sipping and sipping and sipping once we finally indulge? … I this whilst sipping upon on my second martini, of course! Haha. But like you, I’m good with handling alcoholic beverages. ANd now? Raw liquid, too. The processed stuff? Keep it away. Especially old school Hawaiian Punch. That was my addiction in 2001, the early bulimic years. :) Thank you for your comment!!!
The juice looks very good and I think oranges and carrots go very well together. :)
I don’t drink juices as they mess my blood sugar level up. Also I’ve radically cut back on fruit in general. A few years ago I’d easily eat 1 kg of apples a day and currently I hardly eat any fruit. When it gets warmer again maybe. I like apples and nectarines and berries and plums, but the fructose tends to give me stomach pain, so … hm, hm.
On the subject of tomatoes, what do you think of gazpacho soup? I like it!!! I didn’t think I’d like cold soup but I do! I learnt to make it from a Spanish couple in a mountain village in Spain, bizarrely enough!
