It takes 10 to 15 minutes to do it. Most people might take that time just trying to find something good to watch on TV or surfing the Web trying to find the funniest videos (with cats or dogs obviously- comedy geniuses!). Wouldn’t you rather do something that creates spectacular results for your body and your mind instead of mindlessly searching for entertainment?
You can compromise: Take 10 to 15 minutes cranking out really tasty juices, then kick back in your living room or in front of your computer. Find your preferred entertainment while drinking a terrifically healthy juice.
Juicing is easy once you get the hang of it, and here’s how: mix all the ingredients into a juicer and you’re good to go. That’s it. Literally. You just have to explore which fruits go with which vegetables and which herbs go with which combinations. Also, with six or less ingredients, minimal prepping to peel and cut, there’s no “mistake” you can make with your juice.
