Juicing On A Budget

Thank you for joining me for today’s episode of Wellness Wednesday!

I’m told and reminded constantly that juicing can get expensive especially using organic fruits and vegetables. It got me thinking…there are some ways to pass on how to save and curb spending when juicing for health. After all, juicing does take a lot of produce. I’m amazed on how much produce I go through during the week. Not that I’m complaining because it’s amazing that I can get the nutrients from all that produce into one glass. I would never be able to eat that much.

Even though it can be expensive I like to look at it in perspective that I’m making an excellent investment in my health; in the long run it saves me money from medical expenses.

Here is a preview of a few of my strategies for juicing on a budget.

The first expense of course will be the juicer and my advice is the best juicer is the juicer you’re going to use; therefore, be sure to do your homework. Price, speed, ease of cleaning are some things to consider. Be sure to check out our juicer reviews at juicingdiet.org

The key to juicing on a budget is to be conscious of what you’re buying and prepare ahead of time. Choose the juices that you are going to make during the week and make a list of what you need. Include fruits and vegetables that are in season for the best buy. I find I spend the most when I don’t have a list and don’t know what I’m planning for the week and just guess. Stick to the list and purchase what you intended to buy.

Create juices based on what ‘s in season and on sale. Let this dictate the types of juices you make instead of using juice recipes to create your grocery list. Check your local grocery store or health food store adds and purchase more of what’s in season and on sale and make juices using those.

Buy produce in bulk: Always ask what the savings is buying in bulk. Some times you can buy in bulk for cheaper and you can split the expense with a friend if it’s too much and you don’t want it to go to waste. When you make a trip to Costco check and see what they have available in bulk that’s organic (for example carrots and large leafy green bags). I’ve notice that Costco has a small, but growing selection of organics to take advantage of.

Buy organic, but have your list by the Environmental Working Group of the Dirty Dozen Plus and Clean 15 – Get it here!

This guide helps you shop smart. They highlight each year the cleanest and dirtiest conventionally raised fruits and vegetables. If a conventionally grown food you want tests high for pesticides, go for the organic version instead. And remember – the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh risks of pesticide exposure.

Juicing conventional is better than not juicing at all. When buying nonorganic or even organic be sure to wash really well; you may use store bought veggie wash or make your own link on how to below. Be sure to wash carefully before you peel or cut nonorganic produce so there is no pesticide on your knife or peeler to contaminate fruit or veggie.
