Whole Foods or No Foods?

Seeing as there is no Farmers Market open on friday we hit Whole Foods for our sweet tooth fix.
(no artificial sweeteners necessary)

Total Whole Foods Damage...$32.00
What did we get for our hard earned cash?
1 watermelon
7 Persian cucumbers
1 bag oranges(4 pounds)
1 bag green apples(3 pounds)
1 pineapple
All things organically considered...not bad. We threw in 10 strawberries & 2 yellow nectarines from our last Farmers Market run, to really hit the spot.


Total juice yield was a whopping 18 cups/144 ounces of delicious organic sweetness. Not to be confused with the image below...

Same cost, sure it tastes good, only a fraction of the nutritional value. Simple as that.

At $00.22 an ounce I laugh at people who say, "I really like juicing but it is just way too expensive to do all the time.." & respond, "I guess nothing is quite as cheap as watered down beer & a hot dog so you got me there."(I still love a good BBQ when there is something to celebrate)

At the end you are left with this pulp which might yield an additional cup, if pressed through a strainer. If you are fortunate enough to own a Norwalk Juicer it can save you between $400 & $500 dollars a year, juicing 5 times per week. Cost effective considering that it is built to last decades.

JUICE ON!
