The Green Dream - Juice

This my Friends is the Green Dream.

This was my dinner for the first night of my 5 day Cleanse. I used the recipe from here, while I was browsing through websites. It was really tasty and it included a bunch of healthy goods. I altered the recipe by adding half a lemon and ginger, and I didn't have spinach, but it was good either way. 

SunDay 1 - Juice Day

I started my five day juice cleanse on Sunday, Feb 24, 2013 and ending it on Thursday, Feb 28, 2013. I want to end February with a bang and jump start March with an explosion of health. So far so good. I will be posting yesterday's juices later tonight. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with keeping you guys updated. Today is actually Day 3, I am feeling good. 2 more days to go.

Happy Juicing,
Divine

The First Bite: ABC Juice

Apples, Beets, Carrots/Celery

I'm so excited that I am back to juicing!!!! So I purchased a new juicer which I will post about later and this thing is freaking AWESOME! I always enjoyed juicing because it was an alternative to eating or drinking my vegetables. If it was left up to me, beets would never enter my mouth, however pulverizing it thru this fancy juicer of mine, I have absolutely no problem with it. 

The First Bite: Pineapple Kick

Pineapple, Ginger, Celery, and Lemon Juice

Sweet, Fresh and a great summer afternoon drink. 

Gathered my ingredients, cut, washed, and peeled. The ginger is what gives this drink a nice kick. With the sweetness of the pineapple, everything just blends well together.

The juicer is my roommates and it's a Sharper Image Juicer that was given to her as a gift, but can be found on the internet. 

Going down the tunnel. Pineapple are very nutritious and sweet all by themselves. I love anything pinapple. Just don't get turned off by the rough exterior. 

Both the celery and pineapple gives up a lot of juice.

It's get a lil frothy

TADA! The end.

I've been juicing on and off for over 5 years now. I get these sporadic health kicks and want to try new things. I know for sure tho that juicing is awesome and with time and money, can work wonders. Maybe I'll get into the habit of juicing and shed some of this "I love to eat everything in site" fat. Lol.
