Juice, Blend or Chew Your Fruits and Veggies
Do you Juice, Blend or Chew Your Fruits and Veggies?
Personally, I blend my fruits and veggies into smoothies. Of course, that may have something to do with not having a juicer, but I always felt it was better to eat the pulp (the ‘stuff’ the juicing discards) than not!
I also eat a salad everyday, so I also Chew my Fruits and Veggies.
A fellow blogger, Priscilla, author of “A Gluten-Free Mom Who Knows” lists the benefits of all three ways of consuming your foods:
Juicing vs Blending
Juicing, blending and chewing are all great as we add more plants to our diet. However, as I write this, juicing is better because I am reaping the benefits of a juice fast that is not possible without my juicer.

Vegan And Gluten-Free Banana Muffins Recipe
Love this recipe. Instead of using sugar, the recipe calls for dates and applesauce.
One suggestion I would make is to soak the dates overnight first before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. They will process much easier.
I admit it – I was skeptical. But these are yummy! They are gluten–free, and sugar free which makes them appropriate for the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse.
Vegan and Gluten Free Banana Muffins
10 dates , pitted
