Green Glasses

Last night I juiced everything. I started and just couldn't stop.
A warning about this one: cilantro is powerful, use sparingly.

The juicy mix:  apple, beet, carrots, cauliflower, cilantro, grapefruit, kale, lemon, lime, parsley, pear, yellow pepper, Swiss chard, tomato, and some added chia seeds for this morning's glass.

Juice, starring a new decanter

This morning's juice was fabulously mild with a slight parsnip after taste.  I made enough for at least two juices.  I found a BPA free decanter on clearance so I can store it airtight and it will retain more vitamins longer.

In the mix: kale, swiss chard, carrots, parsnips, lemon, beet, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and yellow bell pepper.

Greener Days Ahead

The kale looked amazing tonight at my organic shop so I doubled up.
With a way too early start tomorrow, I juiced up tonight in prep. I will be using some add-ins mentioned last time.
The base juice: kale, rainbow chard, garlic, scallions, amazing pink grapefruit, tomato, parsley, and ginger.

Back in the Saddle

All prepped and ready for a week of juicing!
This week I will be combining kale, chard, collard greens, celery, ginger, carrots, pear, apple, jalapeño, and parsley. I have some radish I may throw in should the spirit move me. The lemons at the market were disappointing so none made it home with me.

Revenge of the Juicer

Maybe I was just out of practice, but turning my countertop pink was not the plan. After the fast I have been using the blender and store bought juices. Today I returned to my green eyed friend.
The mix: kale, spinach, carrots, parsley, celery, lemon, apple, ginger, strawberries, blueberries, and beet root. I forgot the grace.

Day 10 of Juice Fast

I have finished my last juice of this 10 day journey. I will start to add foods back into my diet tomorrow and am looking forward to it. I drove past a chicken place on my way home and almost crashed the car because it smelled soooo good.
Today's juice: kale, chard, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, ginger, apples, parsley, celery, and carrots.

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.

Day Three of Juice Fast

At the end of day three I feel...
Hungry! I managed to get some produce on the way home and made a monster juice that should last through tomorrow. I am taking it one juice at a time and hope I can make day 4. I do feel less bloated and my energy is about average for a Friday. There more noises from my gut than usual.
My monster juice: kale, chard, parsley, celery, lemon, ginger, turmeric, pear, yellow carrots, pineapple, tomato, broccoli, and cauliflower. It tastes good, a little peppery. I may add the fruit flavored protein mix tomorrow morning.
