A Sample of our weekend Dehydrating & Juicing Adventure


As you can see we spent the weekend dehydrating everything from apples to Kiwi!  We enjoyed the YUMMY healthy fruit snacks while waiting for the Beef Jerky to get done.  It was worth the wait!

We did not use any additives, so it's all natural.  If you have never dehydrated fruit (which I had not until I purchased this dehydrator) then you are missing out on the fabulous intensified fruit flavor!  The bananas taste like really really ripe bananas, but you get the crunch instead of that soggy bite :-).  Delicious & Nutritious!

Our four year old loves the new treats.  Which by the way, are on a shelf where he can reach them anytime he wants, and he likes that as well since he is all about doing things himself these days!




We store our dehydrated goods in airtight containers that have a button on the top that locks the lid. 


Got Carrot Juice?

We also purchased a juicer and had some fun making our own juice mixtures this weekend.  We mixed everything from carrots, celery and apples to tomatoes, cabbage and oranges and lemons.  Not necessarily in that order of course.  It was great and once again, a fantastic way to get nutrients down your child. 





Our son loved every single minute of making his own juice and I can truly say he drank three whole carrots, two apples and an orange, he also drank cabbage and tomatoes.  Just letting him put the vegetables and fruits into the juicer was all it took! 







This juicer and dehydrator can be purchased on the LettuceBeHealthy Store link.
