Fresh Squeezed OJ... not just for breakfast!

When someone asks me "What's one of the top 5 things I could do to make a difference in my health or my kids health?", I always tell them to buy a juicer. 

For many, buying a vegetable juicer is too large of an investment without knowing if it's something they'd maintain (more on that another day), so I recommend they start by buying a citrus juicer!  They are sold at Wal-Mart or K-Mart for around $15. 

Fresh citrus juice provides calcium and a myriad of vitamins and it tastes great!  It's also wonderful for those who have the tendency to get constipated.

Although it's great for breakfast (especially breakfast-in-bed for all those who like to suprise their spouses),  it's also an awesome after-school snack for kids... and who would EVER say "no" to a glass of fresh-squeezed OJ?

My favorite citrus drink combination combines the fresh-squeezed juice from one grapefruit, one orange and one lemon.  I drank this recipe every morning while I was pregnant with each of the boys-- YUM!

Although organic is always the best, due to expense, we often buy our oranges and grapefruit at Aldi... they have great quality and prices.
