Last night we prepared all of today’s meals, and it took way longer than expected. Between prepping the vegatables, cleaning the juice and organizng it all, it took us almost 3 hours. We’re hoping to get a system down and keep it under an hour for prep
We tasted them last night and they aren’t bad at all. Breakfast looks gross but it’s actually really sweet.
Congrats on the juicing! I wish you the best of luck in your journey. The more you juice the more efficient you will become at it. I usually make my juices and then drink them so not to lose any nutritional value. When I had to go to work, I would prep my breakfast meal and two lunch meals the night before by putting them in gallon size freezer bags. That way all I had to do in the morning was run them through the juicer. Also make sure you place a plastic bag in the pulp catch of your juicer. This will save you a lot of time cleaning up. Remember, it’s only your first day and your still getting used to the process. It usually takes me about 10 minutes to walk to the kitchen, prep, make a juice, drink it, clean up, and put the juicer back together.
