Day 302 and 303 I Feel Like A Skinny Rainbow

Yesterday, I began to integrate raw vegetables back into my diet, along with the juicing. For lunch I had an avocado with chopped tomato. This morning, I had carrot and apple juice and for lunch, I had a green machine juice, and for dinner, I had Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. I plan to continue juicing for breakfast on a regular basis, because I can get more than my required vegetables and fruit for the day and I feel really great! I'm really glad I did this, I feel re-energized and I will for sure do at least a three-five day juice fast every month. The Brussels sprouts were on my mind all week long, I was seriously jonesing for them, I missed them so much. I was so relieved to have something to chew on again! The biggest challenge was the crappy juicer, I am defiantly saving up for a Breville, this Black and Decker is a pain and a half to operate and to clean! I need a juicer that will allow me to drop in whole apples and not waste time cutting them into tiny pieces, I'm a busy girl, I don't have time for all that! In conclusion, I will probably finish out the week eating raw and cooked vegetables, along with juice and begin to bring back grains and beans next week, it looks like a party's about to bust out up in my kitchen!

Day 294 Monster Veggie Consumption

Tonight, I did it, I bought a juicer! I started to buy the GE, which I researched last night but found a Black and Decker for 20.00 cheaper, so with the 20.00 I saved, I invested in vegetables. For dinner tonight, I had two apples, twenty cranberries, a stalk of celery, a carrot, some kale, a yellow squash, and a cucumber, all juiced up, it was actually pretty good and looked like a pretty rainbow in the measuring cup.

The only thing I don't like about my new juicer is that it's a pain to take apart and clean, I will probably make big batches of juice to drink throughout the day at work. Also, it looks like a lot of vegetables on that plate but it only made about two cups of juice, still it was the most fun I've had on a Saturday night since riding along with the police back in Indiana!

Day 289 Lemme Borrow That Juicer

Today, I had another Green Machine Naked juice, but I'm a little annoyed. I would expect the green machine drink to be chock full of vegetables but it appears to be mostly fruit juice with some grass thrown in. I want, I need, I desperately covet a new juicer to remedy this situation. The drinks have no added sugar but still have a ton of natural sugar. I want vegetable juice, with maybe just a hint of sweet. If I had a juicer, I could make kale/beet/garlic juice concoctions, which I'm sure would not be all sugary and diabetes inducingly delicious. I don't need delicious, I need healthy! Any ideas on good juicer brands? I have no idea what I'm looking for, I just know that I'm not looking for one of those citrus squeeze kind of things. I'm looking for the king of the juicer jungle and I would be glad to test drive, review, and advertise for any company who wants to lend me one (wink, wink)
