Don’t pass the word along to Sally and Tanya but I am not a big fan of juicing. I feel a bit of a sugar spike if I drink too much fruit juice, and green juices generally just taste like grass to me (and as I am not of the bovine persuasion I generally avoid grass). I never really feel full after drinking juice- I think my mind just needs to be tricked by chewing because I can eat all the ingredients of a blended juice and feel satisfied. So when I saw the offer for an add-on juice pack there was no doubt in my mind…I was snagging that sucker. Yes, you did read that right. While I am not a fan of juicing I AM a fan of healthful eating and I saw that pack as a great opportunity to get some variety into my family’s diet- even beyond the regular basket. So started my quest for recipes using my Juice-Free Juice Pack. I tried to find recipes that used the ingredients in healthy combinations similar to what I would do if I were juicing. I wanted to focus on raw meals to get the whole nutritional benefit of each ingredient but with the incredibly cold weather this week I did end up turning to soup and cooked meals more than I originally planned. Here are some of the great recipes I found that helped me use up my pack. I have not tried all of these but of those I tried, my family particularly enjoyed the beet chips; the lentils with spinach and ginger (I used brown lentils from BB and it turned out great); and the cucumber -lime salad (I did that one with grilled chicken). Try out some of these fun recipes and join me in the ranks of juice-free juicing. Happy Cooking!

Sally and Tanya:
I did not receive my receipt for this current offering. If possible, please email it to me again. Or can I just take in the listing of what I purchased with the Contribution Number on it…that number is 5199182435, by the way! Thank you for any help you can give me. It is much appreciated. Tani
I really enjoy your blog;thanks for the great ideas
The beet chips sound good. I still have my beets from the juice pack and hadn’t had a chance to use them yet. Not everyone in my family likes them.
