Today’s shopper is Jaclyn Mullen, who calls herself a “Jaclyn Of All Trades”. She writes for Hollywire.com and YourDailyThread.com, and in her spare time she does marketing consulting for small businesses. She credits the juice recipe she’s going to share with us as the source of all her energy. I need some of that!

Jaclyn’s Juice: Jaclyn and the apple manShe uses one of those major juicer machines and adds 2-3 apples, 2 carrots, 1 cucumber, Jaclyn w/carrots and cukesabout 2 inches of ginger, gingerand 2 tablespoons of aloe vera juice. It makes about 12-14 ounces and she starts her day with it. Thanks, Jaclyn!
