Soul + Food: Juicing & Smoothies 101

Vegetable juice, tomato, carrot, cucumber and beetroot

Liz Davis, RN, NTP, of Bluewater Creek Farm and Ashley Baker Haselton of Ashley Baker Yoga are teaming up again to offer you an afternoon full of wisdom surrounding the topics: Juicing and smoothies.

Do these concepts ring a bell?  Do these terms sound foreign?  Maybe you have heard they are potentially healthy?  Have you been told to add these into your life? --- But you have no idea where to start... You are not alone!

There is so much information out there on these topics that it can be overwhelming and intimidating.

Maybe these have been some of your concerns and questions:

-  What do I juice?
-  How do I juice?
-  What is a juicer and what kind do I buy?
-  Where do I start?
-  What is juicing?  
-  Isn't is easier to just buy the prepared juice in the store?
-  What are the benefits of juicing and making smoothies?
-  Smoothies? Yeah, I have tried that and they never taste good.
- What do I put in a smoothie?
- Etc, Etc, Etc..

I guarantee if you have ever considered juicing and making smoothies---you have had one or more of these questions.. And then overanalyze until you do absolutely nothing.  We have all been there. 

We will take you through the basics of juicing and making nutrient dense smoothies, share with you the health benefits of why you may want to consider making this part of your life, and help lessen your fears and concerns. You will leave with the knowledge and insight to feel completely confident starting on this journey immediately!
