Hungarian Housewife

Healthy Eating – My New Morning Pick-Me-Up

January 23, 2012 By Jennifer Leave a Comment

Our biggest and possibly hardest New Year’s resolution was giving up our beloved coffee in the mornings. I was afraid that the absence of my liquid energy would leave me drained and grumpy (and it did for a few days) but now I’m hooked on something else entirely. David is really into the benefits of juicing right now and my absolute favorite morning pick-me-up is his Carrot/Orange Juice (I beg him to make it every morning, but he insists that we be a bit more balanced). It is loaded with vitamins A and C and it has a great deal of potassium. I’ve also noticed that I’ve developed a slight rosy (possibly orange-ish) glow in my usual pale winter pallor. That doesn’t sound as appealing as it looks. I actually look slightly flushed all of the time now (in a good way, I promise). David doesn’t like to use bottled or concentrated juices so he gets up early makes fresh juice every morning. He insists that “fresh is best.” He is also big into using the best possible ingredients available, which is why we love our local farmer’s market so much. I’ve been trying to convince him to juice kale, but so far he has been fixed against it. He is still haunted by my green smoothies from last year (yes, they were that bad).

Carrot Orange Juice

Makes 2 large servings or 4 small servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 2 cups fresh-squeezed carrot juice
  • Ice

Directions

  1. Combine freshly squeezed carrot juice and freshly squeezed orange juice in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
  2. Pour over ice and serve.

It usually takes me several hours to drink a large serving and I often end up adding more ice as the time passes to keep it super cold. David likes it without the ice, but he’s European.

This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can b This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can be brutal on your skin. Nothing highlights fine lines and wrinkles quite like dry skin, so I was intrigued when @influenster sent me this @ponds Rejuveness Advanced Hydrating Night Cream to test and review. Pond’s has over 150 years experience in the skincare game and I had so many friends growing up that had mothers and grandmothers who were completely devoted to the brand. The cream is ultra hydrating and has a delightfully fresh scent and I’ve found it to be nice addition to my skin care routine during these dry autumn months. Plus, with an $8 price tag, it won’t break the bank.

I am so glad that he did. I finished it this morning, and it was such a timely and eye opening read. I highly recommend it.
