I recently posted this question on the Juicing For Health Facebook page and got some very witty comments. Do you identify yourself with any of these? I know I do! :D


You know you're a confirmed Juicaholic when ...

• when I almost cried in the middle of a new health store that opened near my house, when they told me they are opening a JUICE CAFE. That made me SO HAPPY!! LOL


• ... everyone assumes you have horses from all the bulk carrots you purchase.


• when your juice tastes better than any other drinks.


• your fruits and vegetables drawers in your fridge are stuffed and overweight :)


• you turn orange ...


• when a salad becomes "cheating".


• when you pee green from the juiced greens.


• you own five masticating juicers!!
