Mean Green...

So I made some Mean Green this morning. Many folks swear by this juice. I swear that I won't drink it again til my juicer comes in. It's pretty tasty...it's also MEGA PULPY!!! Now I like a lot of pulp...but not this much! I'm pretty sure I'll have to chase this with coffee. But, it has all sorts of yummy nutrients in it...and the taste is pretty good...so I'm going to drink it.

Mean Green contains kale, lemon, green apples, cucumber, celery and ginger. So you know it's got to be good for you.

Look how purty...

I like to use a pretty glass...makes it more palatable to drink. :)

For dinner tonight I think I'm going to try a juice with tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno and maybe some red onion.....hoping it'll soothe this MAJOR craving I'm having for Mexican food!

CHEERS!!!!!

BLEH!

I have officially made the first smoothie/juice I do not like. It looks so pretty that I must share a picture...

I've read about the benefits of beets. They all say something like this...Beets have a unique phytonutrient profile different from many other antioxidant-rich vegetables. They are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties, and help detoxify our bodies. Detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, phytonutrients....sounds like something I NEED! I love beets in a salad so why not in a smoothie/juice? Ummmmm...bleh! I am still trying to choke it down. The juice I made consisted of 1 beet, 1 carrot, 1 orange, 1/2 cup red grapes, 1/2 cup green tea and a teeny bit of ginger. I'm thinking I should have used half of a beet and another orange and more carrots and maybe 1/2 a grapefruit. I'm going to try that next time. This taste like dirt in a glass. :(

In other news I think juicing has helped me beet this flu and sinus infection more quickly! I feel tired but much better than I have before when I've had this. Woohooo!

Okay, think I'll dump this glass and try again. :)

CHEERS!!!!
