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.

Too Rind or Not to Rind

I have read on some sites that recommend leaving the rind on your citrus for the vitamins. Others state to take it off because of the taste. I left half of the rind on half of a lemon. The predominate flavor of this mornings juice is lemon rind. So, I will be taking off all of it next time.
Today's mix: kale, chard, lemon, apple, spinach, and Romaine. I added some cayenne pepper but not enough to consider it spicy.

Super Charged Morning

Nothing like a little Samba and berry juice to get you through a Wednesday.

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.

Mango vs Spinach

Today's mix included: Mango, lemon, strawberries, spinach, romaine, garlic, carrots, broccoli and beet root.
It looked this weird brownish color but with all the fruit, it couldn't help but taste okay.

Exercise:  Zumba and walking yesterday so Monday likely will be a work only day.
