I'm quite pleased.
It's been a busy week for me. I wasn't sure how the juice fast would go, but at the end of everyday I look at what's in the fridge, make sure what I need is there, and think about how much longer I can or want to do this.
After finishing 2 full weeks, I can see myself completing a month, or 30 days. I'm not certain I will, so for now, I'm aiming for 21 days.
I feel OK. I kinda miss coffee. Yesterday I was around a lot of Diet Coke, and I missed it, but was OK with a caffeine-free Passion Tea from Starbucks.
RECIPE NEWS!
Today I added a banana to my morning juice. My older children were out of town for a couple weeks, and when they returned they watched "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead
" with me, and now are converts. As they are teenagers, fasting is not advised for them, but they are interested in drinking juices with me! That's 5 out of 5, my friends!
DON'T PUT A BANANA IN YOUR JUICER!
- Juice all of your prepared fruits and/or vegetables.
- Peel your banana.
- Using an immersion blender
: Add banana to juice pitcher. If not enough room, pour off some of the juice into a cup to avoid overflow. Pulse/blend a few times to liquify banana. Or: A regular blender
: Pour prepared juice into blender pitcher. Add banana, run for about a minute to fully process banana.
I highly recommend an immersion blender, if you do not already have one. I use my all the time. I've had two: a Cuisinart

ANYWAY, here are 3 new recipes that I made yesterday and this morning:
Day's End Juice Easy Drinking Mild Blend | This was a very mild, almost bland mix. I actually liked it, as a break from some of the bold green flavors. 1 big handful of spinach leaves 2 Kale leaves 1/2 cucumber 1 small apple, Gala 4 small carrots 2 stalks celery 1 big handful of parsley 1 large chunk of ginger 100 ml coconut water (at the end to rinse all remaining juice out of the juicer) Yield: 600 ml (1 serving) I added a small dash of cumin and salt to mine. |
I made one very similar to the summer sweet one you made, just with a few strawberries and red apples. The taste was amazing! I can't wait to try some of your other recipes!
