I plan to keep up the juice.  I’ve come to a few conclusions: 1. I like it 2. I’m getting more produce than I could eat 3. It’s fun 4. It could become expensive if I’m not careful 5. It’s more filling and satisfying than I expected 6. It has changed my perspective on the food I do choose to chew So, I went to Farm Fresh Sunday night to...

Sunday, Day 5. I’d said I would experiment with juicing for five days. Today’s juice was an EPIC FAIL! Looks beautiful, right?  I’d decided to use up all the rest of the kale since I was getting tired of it and had just bought some new produce at the store. I added two new things to try: a beet and a small piece of ginger (you can see it there at...

Day 4: Saturday Breakfast juice today was 7-8 leaves of kale, 2 Granny Smith apples and 3 carrots:  This is the pulp that is left over in the machine after juicing. Not bad…. I’m finding though that the kale kind of falls apart and you’re left with some shards of the curly leaf even in the juice. I’m eager to try a different kind of green...

I was so excited about the...

I definitely did NOT miss the taste of the celery.   Here’s the afternoon juice: I juiced 2 handfuls of kale, 2 pears and 1/2 cucumber. In my blender, I pureed 3 very ripe bananas and added the puree to the juice (the juicer...

I’m planning to try an experiment. Over Christmas break, I watched the documentary “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead”. It chronicles Joe Cross’s 60 day juice fast. During those days, he drank only the juice that he extracted from fresh produce.  No food. Nothing to chew for 60 days.  During that time, he lost over 60 lbs. and no longer needed the...

…. & happy as a clam! I just love this little girl!
