Juice for Days

I have been beyond lazy when it comes to juicing lately. Today I had a lot of produce sitting in my fridge that needed some attention. Some of it was already bad and the rest was getting close. So, I sorted and cleaned. Everything that was still good was thrown in the juicer. I figure that I have dinner and all day tomorrow for juice meals-an impromptu mini fast.
The mix: chard, kale, celery, lemon, apple, pear, pomegranate, ginger, and broccoli.

Can't Juice Turkey

Well, you probably could juice turkey if you were motivated enough. I may juice today, but the main plan is to juice fast Saturday after enjoying a day or two of family fun and meals.
Happy Thanksgiving!

It's SO Ugly, It's Cute

Today's juice turned out dark brown. Not the yummy chocolate brown, but the that looks nasty brown. Beets and rainbow chard mixed with greens made an ugly but tasty concoction.
Mixing: rainbow chard, kale, dandelion greens, carrots, beet, lemon, and pear.

Carrots make it pretty

Broke my blender yesterday so had to go with old reliable. I could use a trip to the store but was able to come up with a good juice. It was bitter and I was sore from a workout, so I put in a flavored veg protein powder.
The mix: kale, dandelion greens, lemon, bok choy, apple, and carrots.

Smothilicious

Powered up a smoothie this morning. So good!
The mix: Flax milk, frozen bananas, peanut butter powder (peanut butter with the oil and a lot of calories taken out), cocoa powder, and raw veg powder.

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.

Juice Break

So, no juicing lately.
I am doing a 7-8 week diet that involves severe calorie restriction and limited food choices.  I have a couple of more weeks and then will start back on the juicing path as a way to transition back into a more balanced regime.  I am using some of the powdered mixes to supplement my diet, so I am still getting some of the nutrition I would be getting from the juice.
See you soon!
