Back to the Juice

I am looking forward to my trip up the store to restock for some great juice this week. I may defrost some of my berries for fruity fun in the meantime!

Juice Update

Just to keep you updated...
I am leaving town at the end of the week, so I did not want to stock up on a lot of veg that I may not get to.  I did one fresh, green juice at the beginning of the week and will use store bought version the rest of the week.  I certainly plan on returning to fresh when I return.
Have a great week 8)

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.

In the Zone

Today I start day 7 of the fast. I did have another smoothie last night and added some cinnamon. Back to the green this morning. The picture is an overflow of everything besides the greens.
The mix: 1/2 squash, 1/4 cucumber, lemon, turmeric, ginger, strawberry, blueberry, green and red apples, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, parsley, kale, chard, peach, and celery.
Good mix, but I think next weeks shopping will be more simple.

Smoothie

The morning of day six of the fast found another cheat smoothie on the coaster. I lightened up on the peanut butter and added wheat grass powder.
Mix: 1c flax milk, 1 banana, 1tbsp peanut butter, 3/4tsp powder, big handful of ice.
I am going to try some store bought natural juices for lunch.

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.
