Anyone Joining Nadya Hutagalung's Juicing Frenzy?

Remember I wrote in this article that I’m recently into juicing? My interest of juicing has grown ever since I followed Nadya Hutagalung on Instagram. The girl drinks juice like it’s slurpee. 😀 Of course, I’ve always known that fruits and vegetables are important to be eaten everyday, but I didn’t realize that it’s fun and actually delicious to mix vegetables and fruits. Not only we can eat a variety of vegetables and fruits in one go, we can also eat a variety of the colorful mix by 8 am in the morning. What do we usually eat by that time? Bread, perhaps? Or bubur ayam and lontong sayur? 🙂

So that’s how I got started. My juicing habit it not as intense as hers, though, because she usually has more greens and serves it in a huge glass! I notice she always mixes kale in her juice. After a little bit of googling, I found out that kale is high in fiber, iron, vitamin A, B, K, calcium and also has powerful antioxidant properties and helps lower cholesterol, among other things. Now I know what to hunt the next time I go grocery shopping.
