I juice every morning: all organic carrots, apples, ginger, lemon and beet. It is remarkable and been a life changer. For me, juice does not replace a meal but accompanies oatmeal or toast perfectly for breakie. The 'Green Monster' is another favorite afternoon juice snack: apples, swiss chard (which gives a creamy texture), broc and lemon. The best part - I bake with the 'roughie' or pulp that the juicer spits out. Muffins, cookies, lentil loaf and heaps of other dishes - nothing is wasted. If you don't have time to bake it that afternoon - into the freezer for weekend baking. I am certainly looking forward to trying a Vita-Mix one day!

I am so thrilled you have featured Abeego! I have a bunch and use them daily. It is a nice alternative to plastic wrap and work especially well for unique shape decorative bowls. Also, it is rather fetching showing up to a potluck with this on your serving dish then tin foil or plastic wrap. They do stick to the bowl and create a good seal however, I would not invert the bowl or stack anything too heavy on top.

The creator also makes flat wraps that fold and fasten with string that can wrap sandwiches and all sorts of tasty lunch items. Abeego has cone shape wraps for loose small snacks. They are perfect for transporting a few cookies or savory snacks rather then little sandwich bags. The string and circles (like old-school envelopes) are fun for little hands to open and close.

Made local and by hand in Victoria BC, I just purchased a bunch while out west on holiday. I have enjoyed using them.
p.s. as for cleaning - cool soapy water does the trick - towel dry and they are fine. The shop owner where I purchased them had been using hers for 8 months without any wear or tear which is a great sign on longevity. We had a bit of a heat wave last week, so I stored them clean in the fridge - but really that was me just being necrotic, they would have been totally fine in a cool dry place.
