I bought a juicer 5 months before I got pregnant with Cooper. I was obsessed. For the first three months, I juiced constantly. I could not keep enough fruit & veg in my house to quench my thirst. I thought to myself “This 200 bucks was soo worth it! How could I never NOT juice?!”
Then I got pregnant and turned super lazy….The thought of lugging my machine out of the cabinet and cleaning up the mess prevented me from using it. What a waste of a fine machine! Sigh.
This afternoon while Coop slept, I busted out Rhoda (the name I have for my juicer) and made something delightful!

As you might know, I got some really great strawberries at the Farmers Market on Saturday.
Here they are right before I started digging in:
So after my strawberry overload breakfast (see below) I decided to treat myself to a refreshing beverage. After working around the house/yard over the weekend, it was well deserved.
I started juicing them with my juicer!
I juiced two of the containers! It produces the best puree!
I think I will use it for pancakes or perhaps in my yogurt….or ice cream!
I muddled some basil leaves with a little bit of sugar. I added some fresh strawberry juice and some sparkling water.
Put in a straw & top with a little strawberry and you have yourself a refreshing drink!
The basil was great! If you aren’t as daring…try some mint! MMMMMMM
