Accidentally Juicing

How does one juice accidentally? Think extremely ripe fruit then add a big rock! Raise the rock to about eye level and accidentally drop it on the fruit and bingo! So you can't really accidentally start juicing but you can fall into it accidentally.

If you asked me if I would start juicing fruits and veggies a few years back I would have given you a funny look then proceeded on with whatever I was doing. Why you ask? I haven't ever been a health nut, I like greasy tasty food, I think gyms are a means of torture and exercise should be gotten by doing something.

I'm not in great shape but I'm also not in bad shape; but I'm in my late 30's and its now time to start taking a bit better care of myself and with all of the processed and fast food out there its hard to get the nutrients we need. While I will never be a health nut I did want to start taking care of myself and food seemed like the best and easiest approach. As I was thinking about this I ran into the random article about juicing and this jogged a memory, my grandparents juice religiously, every single morning. I never thought anything of it, just a little quirt about my grandma. As a kid when I was there I would be given the morning concoction that typically had an orange look to it. I never questioned it and it typically tasted pretty good.

A bit of research and it became clear that juicing was apparently really good for you, I know this isn't rocket science. So I took the plunge and on a whim got a juicer, got home and raided the fridge for random fruits and veggies. Yes I managed to create an orange concoction like my grandma did and it tasted good. I've been doing this sporadically since getting the juicer and learning a bit about it here and there.

The idea behind this site is to share my experiments, mostly on myself, with recipes and articles I find; maybe someone can learn from my creations and who knows I might actually run into something fantastic.
