Sweet and Spicy

Juice fast day 5:
I did have another cheat smoothie yesterday.  My favorite shop also had frozen, blended bananas that felt like an ice cream cheat.
Today's blend turned out a little sweet.  I had prepped an extra pear and then remembered that I had fresh pineapple that needed to be used.  I also had a banana that was about to die so I refrigerated it, to firm it up.  Some juice did come out but I think the blender is a better destination for banana.
The rest:  kale, chard, parsley, apple, yellow carrots, tomato, and celery.  I added cayenne to this morning's glass.  A nice kick.

Juice Fast Day 2

I have talked myself into a fast. One day down, two pounds lost. After three weeks of some questionable food choices I was feeling a bit bloated. I am using the vegan protein mix once a day and I will take some supplements today- B complex, vitamin D, and fish oil.
Today's mix: mixed greens, apple, watermelon, lemon, garlic, yellow squash, acai juice, broccoli, cucumber, and kiwi.
I didn't stock up for a fast, so I am taking it one juice at a time.
