Kuvings Wide Mouth Slow Juicer

Purchased another kitchen gadget. This time, a slow juicer. Modern belief that heat and speed will kill the fruits enzymes/ and nutrients away, hence slow juicer is a better option. Honestly speaking, having owned  a fast juicer, juicing using the slow juicer really eats up a lot of my time.

Got this in Raw Food Today group buy at RM1899.

Waited for almost 1 month after full payment for this baby to arrive.

HAHA. Can only fit smaller size apples!

My green juice

Fruits

Yes, I am consuming tons of fruits and vegs nowadays. Trying to have a more balance food intake. I mainly blend them because I "feel" I can consumed more by drinking than chewing.

So blessed to have friends to assist me to buy cheap fruits.

First round was HL. and subsequently, I join the R&R moms on Fruits Group Buy.

Raw & Rock (Part 3)

Everyday, without fail I will drink up my fruit/vege combi smoothies. I will add some "supplements" so that I m sure of getting the best of everything. Sounds kiasu hor...

Raw Wheat Germ (1 tablespoon)

 Flaxseed (1 teaspoon)

If I eat salad, then 1 tablespoon

1 Tablespoon of Brewer's Yeast 

Add honey with my drink is bitter or tasteless 

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. 1 teaspoon 

ChiaSeed (1 teaspoon) 

Lecithin (1 teaspoon)

I usually blend all this to the smoothies and gulp down immediately. Normally chilled, otherwise it's really to "telan". The above items can be found in any organic shops like BMS, Natural Health Farm, Cosway, etc.

Raw & Rock (Part 2)

So what's the hype about this?

I have so intrigued by this video. The magic bullet.

At the same time, I didnt know Shimono was the exact same machine sold in Malaysia. I have seen Shimono at many shopping complexes but never really paid attention cos at that time, I was not interested. I already have 3 BLENDERS at home (Kenwood, Philips and Panasonic). Why needed another one?

BTW, Shimono blender can be found in 1U near Annies Snack shop. Shop name "Live It Up" or in inside Subang Parade Parkson Ground floor.


And at the same time, I just got to know some ladies from the Raw Food Today club and they were talking about Shimono. So the more they were talking about it, the more I then took interest.

When I did the Green Smoothies challenge with Tera Warner , day 1 I used my rusty Panasonic blender. I didnt like it at all. So pulpy (you know, it did not blend like water/liquid) and I had a hard time gulping down. day 2, I cheated and started using my Breville.

Then of course, I learned a lot from the RFT group and began to venture out. So coming to 2 months, I have been juicing and blending every day. YES EVERYDAY.

There is no hard and fast rule to the recipe. Any combination is good

Getting RAW & Rock!!

Somehow, my weight went skyrocket HIGH! Once upon a time (year 2003), I was 64kg. That time, I considered myself very "Happy". From 2004-2009 my weight was between 50kg-55kg. Now, its back to 64kg. I dont know how the weight got into me as I dont seem to be as happy before and I have aged. I have tried to eat less, but still does not work.

One thing I do know is, I must eat healthy and must eat natural food as much as possible. So I began to hunt. I stumbled upon Tera Warmers site and from there, I got to know the Raw Food Today fb page and some amazing people who support of eating natural and healthy food.

Something easily done at home is juicing and I used this for meal replacements.

Here are two videos I took...*hiks hiks* cos when I wanted to purchase the Shimono, I tried googling for reviews..but sadly none in Asia context.

Do note: the two videos ARE NOT EDITED. Its as original as can be. Just sharing from a lay-man day-to-day person on juicing

Enjoy.
