Plant Based Diet

I now declare I am on my way to learning how to prepare and enjoy a plant based diet. I don't think I"ve done anything that was or is so life changing as this will be. I've asked the universe for help to lead me to books, schools, blogs or magazines to help me learn the proper way to do this and so I can teach others how to do this. It is for health. It is life giving not life taking. I want to enjoy the bounties of Gods given whole foods. Bless my Lord. And Thank you.

Sun Warrior

Sunwarrior.. what is htat. Well it's this amazingly good Raw protein, Plant based. You add it to anything you want. I purchased this to add to my smoothies. It's soy free, Dairy free and Gluten free. No you know that is good. Those things I mentioned could cause you more problems then health. This is also Non-GMO. That means Not Gennetically Modified Organism. What makes Warrior Blend so spectaular? Glad you asked. Each ingredient is exceptional alone, but when selectively cmbined in a revolutionary new proprietary formula, Warrior Blend is overwhelmingly superior to any of it's single components. That's straight from the bag:)

Juicing and Making Smoothies

Hi everyone. Ghost town really. So, I've purchased this fancy dancy darling straw to sip my smoothies from. Check it out.

Is is very Purdy. It's 100% Guarentee not to break. How do they do that? Those little red dots that you see, keep it from rolling off onto the floor. Very nice addition. The hemp bag is so you can carry it with you and they give you a little brush to keep it clean. This is so cool. Looking forward to pulling it out and drinking a cool glass of fresh made juice,

And keeping up with Green Juicing and Green Smoothies for Health!!!

This blog is best viewed in classic. I don't know how it shows up on your computer but some postings have links you may miss if in another view. Just letting you know, I don't know what google does with these things.

Classic Israeli Salad

I am so proud of myself for stepping out on my first recipe from Vegetarian Times. I have been getting this magazine for a while but never tried the recipes. I've also given the magazines away. I think now I'll keep them for gems like this I found. Will make it again and again and again.

This is the recipe: 4 roma tomatores, diced (I used those little cherri tomatoes) 2 persian cucumbers or 1/2 English Cucumber (again, I don't who my cucumbers were) 1/2 yellow Bell Pepper 2/3 cup chopped Parsley 3 tbs. Chopped green onion 2 tsp. olive oil 2 tsp. lemon juice. Chop them all up and enjoy. I also put feta cheese and Ciliegine mozzarell in there. Those little small mozzarella balls. Yummy .

I'm taking a course called Green Juicing Intensive Clinic, given by Farnoosh Brock. The course is live chats, Videos, and audio presentations. If this course ever comes around again I highly recommend it. In the mean time, get her book and get energized and bring life to your body. Comprehensive Green Juicing Guide. Thank you Farnoosh for your knowledge and time and sharing with the world how to juice, why to juice and being active in your health.

Juicing is soo good

Today, I made my three juices for the day. No excuse about not having time to clean or put it together. Here are photos of today's juices. Carrot 4, Apple 2 Beet 1

it's the one on the far right. Carrot Apple Beet Next is Mango 2, Apple 3

Next is Carrot 4, Beet 1, spinach hand full

and here they are all together, planned out.

The Carrot Beet Spinach is from Jay Kordich, Power of Juicing.

I'm enjoying Juicing. It's so good. So healthy. I love it all. I feel the difference in a lot of ways. Here is what I purchased today for $13.23.

Watermelon Juice

Well, I drank a whole quarter watermelon and not one of those little round ones. It was okay. Would i do it again. Not. I'd rather eat my watermelon. I just didn't care for the taste. Lots of water and just very not interesting. I guess watermelon martinis are all sugar water sweetened to taste like watermelon. On day 3 and it's just horrible.It's doable but man, food. I just want to chew something. Even a salad would be good about now. Counting the hours 7.5. I think I may eat at midnight just to chew.

Headache

Not bad but not good.Just enough to make me feel like blah. Enough already. !!! I can't wait to see how I'm going to do when I do eat food again. Drinking juice is good but eating food just feels so good. Juice does not giving you that satieated feeling for not wanting food. I just made carrot and apple juice and it is the BEST JUICE I think I've made. It is the Orange juice of ORANGE JUICE. It's a beautiful orange, like the real crayon. Look at that fruit and the end results. And it was good:) Oh and I do get cold chills, under two throws and sweatshirt on. Sox and my slippers.

Day 2 on Juice fast

Doing pretty good. Not great. I love food. I realy enjoy eating. I like drinking juice, but I want some food. I went to bed so I wouldn't smell Ray cooking good waffles. I love waffles. Got some new Honey also and now I'll waffle and honey and tea and honey. I got real honey. It's really light and taste good. Drink today was: 1. Kale, 2 handfulls, 1/2 cucumber, grapes, two handfulls, and piece of lemen, a wedge. The lemon really made it even taste better!!! Didn't expect that.

Forgot to show you my new juicer. This is whisper quiet. Runs great. Makes juice with NO FOAM. !!and it does greens A #1

3 day Juice Fast

Wow, this is so much nicer. Easier to type in. Hi, Anyway, today is the first day of my 3 day Juice fast. I'm doing okay so far. I feel I have a slight headache but I think that's due more to the new Hair style I received yesterday at the new England Health and Wellness Collaborative. It was a lot of fun. I even got a henna on my wrist.

That's my henna and here is my hair.

1st juice of the day-- was Apple, Celery, Carrot juice. It was very sweet and very good. Sweet in a good way that made it drinkable. 2nd juice of the day --at 12:32 is Kale, grapes and a few pieces of Pinapple. Drinking water inbetween. I'm waiting for Salvation Army to come and pick up the couch we are donating. Then I go to Tyngsboro for some natural Honey. Straight from the Hives. 3rd Juice: - - Kale, grapes and pineapple. Very good. Goes down smoothly. 1/2 bottle of water.

My Breville

My breville has only been gone not even 24 hours and I miss it already. It's Sunday morning and I have no juice;( This is horrible.

Did I tell you

Well maybe I didn't but I'm here now to tell you, I'm a juicer. Oh yes, I've been hit and i'm not going to quit. I am reading about juicing every day. I make juice every day. I love going to the check out counter and someone saying to me *where is your meat?* I love that. I said, * I juice* and love it. I love seeing the fridge full of greens. My husband Ray said he opened the refridgerator and thought it was wild kingdom in there. Now that's a compliment::!!!!

Today I made two Juices.

2 apples
3 Celery Stalks

This was delicious

I have not made a drink that I don't enjoy.
