I recently upgraded and purchased an Omega low speed juicer, and I am loving it, lovinnnnng it! I upgraded from a centrifugal juicer to a low speed masticating style juicer because the low speed prevents heating, which allows the juice to keep its healthy enzymes and prevents oxidation and it yields more juice. I decided on an Omega because it's great for juicing leafy greens, wheatgrass,making baby food and it can even be used to extrude fresh pasta.
After my hot lemon water, (not pictured) I prepared myself a boat load of juice that fills and fuels me through the morning. This one is loaded with 2 hand fulls each of kale & collards, 3 carrots, 2 stalks of celery, 2 apples, ½ lemon and a inch piece of ginger. I put that little piece of ginger in every morning, because ginger has natural antibiotic properties.
Lunch was a well packed wheatberry salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Throughout the afternoon, I munched on Red Lentil & Roasted Red Pepper Spread, some mighty good stuff. I've been keeping some stashed away in my office fridge foe quick grabbing during my busy days .
Dinner was this delicious roasted veggie and crispy sprout wrap with a spread of Red Lentil & Roasted Red Pepper Spread. Yum, Yum, Yum!
For some more WIAW, head on over to Peas and Crayons and don't forget to have a Super Happy Wednesday!

I love ginger in juice... It adds so much sparkle! I've never tried a masticating juicer, though.
Your lentil spread looks wonderful.

I love fresh juice! I got a Hamilton Beach Juicer a year or two ago and I love it! It's kind of a lot of work to juice but I think it's worth it. (I also love hot water and lemon too!)
Georgie says
So happy I found your blog - your photos are beautiful.
Ginger is one of my favorite foods - I love it in smoothies and as I treat I love candied ginger.
Celeste says
Ginger is becoming a favorite of mine, I buy crystallized ginger from Whole Foods and eat it when I have an upset tummy.
Thanks for stopping by.

Where did you find glass jar with glass lid? I've been on a hunt! Thanks
Celeste says
I love using glass, I got mine for a local kitchen store, but can't find anymore, I found some on Amazon and now have them in my Marketplace store. You can find them on the second page of Kitchen Essentials, just click on The Whole Serving Marketplace in the menu bar and it will take you to my store.

I'm in the market for a new juicer$220.00 bucks! Yikes! But it's worth it. How's the cleaning? I dread cleaning my juicer after use it sends me over the top. LOL!
Celeste says
The cleaning is so much better than my old juicer. I use mine twice a day. With my old juicer it would be good if I used it once a day, I hated the clean-up.
