Day 126...


 Morning Yummy

1 big handful spinach
4 carrots
1 celery
1 orange



This blend made about 10oz of juice for my breakfast. It was really good.

Rule of Thumb
The 2-1 Ratio

Whenever you are doing anything concerning a healthy food choice life style, there is an easy tendency to vacilate towards fruits because they hit the yummy spot easily. Be mindful of that though and try to always have at least a ratio of 2 to 1 for veggies over fruits. The veggies and the extra vitamins will help to counter act the sugars of the fruit. Think of your fruit as more of a bonus to all the wonderful goodness veggies give you.

Blessings to you today.

Day 122...

What doesn't work.....

Today I went through my refridgerator to juice whatever I put my hands to. I did half a honeydew melon, a big leaf of kale, a handful of parsley, a clump of wheat grass, 2 kiwi and a bit of celery.

I suppose it was loaded with all sorts of health benefits but in retrospect I think it was too green. The combination of kale, parsley and wheat grass sat heavy on my stomach for quite a while.

Lesson learned. Must be more careful in blending experiment choices.
Oh well, it is still fun.

Blessings to you today!

Day 121...

Last night I wanted to play with my juicer and see what kinds of concocting I could create.
I combined a half of a honeydew melon with a leaf of kale, a bit of parsley, a granny apple and some celery. Yum! My family loves to sample the juices that are created and I need to make mental note to make sure there is more than what I plan on drinking because by the time my glass gets around the circle and back to me there isn't much left.


This morning I used these ingredients for breakfast.....

Yum Wake Up

2 ribs celery
4 carrots
1 granny apple
1/2 lemon (without the peel)
big handful of spinach
nice clump of wheat grass

This is too much fun! My brother and baby niece came over while I was creating. Little Angel had a taste and gave a big surprised tasty lip smacking look. My brother had a taste and licked his lips as he tried to pick out all the ingredients on his palate. When I told him what was in it he laughed at me in shock and sort of shook his head at his crazy health crazy sister.

God bless you today with health, wisdom and favor!
