Juicy!

Howdy strangers! Shame, shame, shame on me. It's been a long time, I know. And what's even more shameful: I've fallen off the healthy-eating wagon. So, this is to let you all know that for the next 5 days (starting tomorrow) I'm going to be embarking on a juice fast.

This is something I'm really excited about though! I LOVE to juice! And guess what, so does Little Buddy! In fact, the last time I juiced I made a big jar of carrot-apple-ginger-lemonade, and didn't get to drink a drop because Little Buddy and Husband decided they were going to guzzle it. (Oh well, that's one way to get veggies into those silly boys.)

I already have some recipes I want to make, and am interested in suggestions if anyone has them.

Here are a few I want to try:

The Mean Green

6 Kale Leaves

1 Cucumber

2 Green Apples

4 Celery

1/2 Lemon

1 Ginger Root (thumb size)

The Tangy Cabbage

2 Pears

2 Apples

2 Wedges Cabbage

2 Carrots

1 Lemon

1 Lime

The Bruchetta

2 Roma Tomatoes

1-2 Cloves Garlic

20 leaves Basil

The Beet Rejuvenator (I love beets, so why not beet juice?)

3-4 Carrots

1 Cucumber

1/2 Lemon

1 Ginger Root (1 inch piece)

1/2 Beet Root(including stem and 1-2 leaves)

The Sunset Blend

1 large Sweet Potato

1 medium Carrot

1 Red Bell Pepper

2 Red Beets

2 Golden Delicious Apples

1 Orange, optional

Minty Fresh Berry
2 cups blueberries
2 kiwi
16 strawberries
2 cups mint leaves (packed)

Apparently you're supposed to have about 64oz. of juice a day, so I'm really happy our state refund check came and we get to get "prizes" as Husband called them (ain't he just adorable) at Whole Foods.

Follow my journey!
