Juice of the Day – 2/22/11

Today was a 2 juice day (so far).

Breakfast:
2 oranges
1 grapefruit
4 strawberries

Lunch (thanks to JLgoesvegan):
3 stalks celery
1/2 cucumber
5 leaves romaine
1 green apple
1/3 fennel bulb
1/2 lime

Both were good. I’m still getting my head around green juice and the fact that fresh juice is thin, unlike bottled juice that tends to be thicker. I have texture issues, so sometimes the idea of drinking juice makes me a little gaggy. :S Something to work through!

Juice of the Day – 2/20/11

Yesterday’s juice was a very simple carrot/orange combo.
Today I got a little more elaborate, trying to get extra greens in to see if it would help this RA flare:
1 carrot (huge)
2 smallish oranges
1 handful kale stems
1 handful spinach
1 collard leaf
5 strawberries.

No picture, because it came out a very muddy green. Again, I would say that I didn’t love this, but it was ok. I am hoping that, over time, I develop more of a taste for green juices, because right now I really just don’t like the green taste. But, I did have a bunch of baked kale chips today for lunch, so I’m pretty well green veggied up!
