Should You Combine Fruits & Veggies?

Posts have been a bit slow due to regular routine of life but I have lots of pics and posts to put up this coming week.  One thing I wanted to address, and disclosure here, I'm no expert but i've been told that juicing fruits and veggies together is a bad idea.  

HUH?! 

Are you confused too?  I know I was, considering that they're both all-natural foods that require no cooking in order to consume.  I jumped on the worldwide web to find out the root of this matter and ... still not quite sure how it works. 

It seems that fruits and particular vegetables digest differently and the enzymes they respectively produce can create a bad reaction in your system. 

Has anyone experienced this, and do you overstand the chemistry?  Please leave a comment below if you do, I'd love to be able to overstand the science behind my scrumptious juicing practices. 

My hard and fast rule since this little research .. less sweet fruits (because fruits do include lots of sugar) and more veggies when juicing.  One sweet fruit like an apple, is ok to combine with vegetables but it seems that fruits are actually more beneficial to your system when you just wash, and crunch away! 

Found this handy chart on the web too and thought it might be helpful.  Let me know if it did in the comments.  Thanks for reading this relaxing Sunday and stay qurious!

Qurious Juices

Blessed love! I'm Q and two years ago I switched my meat-eating ways to a more green lifestyle and I haven't looked back since ...ok, except for that one time with a buffalo wing, but I wasn't impressed.  You see, when you switch to a plant based diet and start to consider what it is we put into our bodies, you start to question, 'What was all that crap I ate before?'  You realise how your tastebuds have been hijacked by years of eating things that were over salted and seasoned and you never really questioned what was that Colouring #35 coating your favourite packaged snack.  A proper blog post relating my journey to vegetarianism and this qurious dabble into veganism soon come, but until then, an intro to my new favourite way of consuming my fruits and veggies ...juicing!  In no way am I an expert, but I do hope to be and any step into a healthful lifestyle is a big one, so here are a few pics from this week's juicing, starting with this simple juice.
  • 2 slices of papaya
  • 2 apples
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 chunk of ginger
Juice it all, drink it up!  Love the life you live, stay qurious.  Love & light.
Breakfast the vegan way!  Just juice a few of your favourite fruits and a carrot or two! 

C'mon Q, a mug?  Yes folks, i've replaced my morning coffee or hot tea with a mugful of fresh juice 
Isn't it pretty!  Mmmm...

Cheers to healthy living! A full glass of cancer fighting, skin refreshing, long living juice.
