Rainbow Chard

I love color!  There was some beautiful rainbow chard at the market this week.  I added to it: kale, touch of cabbage, ginger, a tiny bit of turmeric, grapes, orange, pear, apple, beet greens, blueberries, parsley, celery, half of a hot pepper, and dandelion greens.  It was fantastic!

Having Seconds

I really enjoyed today's juice of: one medium beet, about 4 kale leaves, handful of spinach, 2 small oranges, what I could rescue from a mango, 4ish celery stalks and a tomato.  I had to go back for a second glass that I had been planning on saving for later.

Tastes Better Than it Looks

Today I used a little kale, 3 mushrooms, some parsley, a pear, half a lemon, a handful of yellow carrots, a touch of broccoli, and cauliflower. I also threw in a bag of blueberries. It looked great going in but like a greenish-brown mess coming out.
It tasted really good.

Splish Splash

My veggies are taking a bath.
Today's mix is: kale, parsley, spinach, mushroom, yellow carrots, scallion, 1/2 lemon, 2 small pears, 1/2 hot pepper, and kiwi.
It is a good mix. I may be catching on to this stuff. I'm taking leftovers in for lunch.

Best Juice Yet

I used 2 colors of kale, yellow carrots, tomato, parsley, scallion, 1/2 hot pepper, orange, apple, pear, broccoli, and a little cauliflower. Wow! So glad I made a big batch of this.

Heating It Up

At the farmers market, I had found a little bag with some peppers in it. I threw one in with my fridge clean out juice of kale, brussels sprouts, lemon, papaya and tomato. It was great! I will certainly do the pepper again. If you are not into hot, maybe try a half pepper.

Friday Farmers Market

I was running low on supplies so I stopped by a farmers market near work. It wasn't the most impressive place but it was Thursday afternoon. They probably gear up for weekends. I did find some Brussels sprouts and local blue berries. I added to that: 1/2 a papaya, blackberries, kale and a sprig of mint. It could have used some coconut water but I was too lazy.

Do Not Try This at Home

A dangerous confluence of left over produce from last week and new stuff for this week made for a nasty combination. I went juicer crazy and the crazy won.
I am left with an extra large batch of toxic vitamins. Maybe I'll try to overpower it with grapefruit.
I used: kale, swiss chard, sprouts, celery, parsley, carrots, spinach, garlic, ginger, turmeric, orange, 2 kinds of apples, and the kitchen sink.

Keeping it Safe

I started putting my veg in a vinegar and water bath before the final rinse. A good deal of stuff I don't want to eat was left in the bowl. That method is a keeper!
Today's mix: kale, broccoli, carrots, parsley, celery, romaine, and half of a grapefruit a friend gave off of a tree.
It tasted, mostly, of grapefruit.
I saved some of the pulp for eggs later on.

Berry Good Morning

Just some mixed frozen berries and a couple of handfuls of fresh blueberries. Quite tasty.

A little Zumba yesterday and I'm ready to power through the rest of the week

Would have been better for dinner

Today's juice: kale, romaine, parsley, carrots, garlic, tomato, and an apple
Good stuff, but the garlic was a little weird at 5am.

Tropical Juicing

Tonight I had a little fun with the juicer.
1/2 each of a lemon and lime, mango, and cucumber. Poured it over ice and fresh mint. I added a shot of coconut water. Stirred with sugar cane. May have been better with rum, but it was sooo good as it was.
