Day Nine. Feeling good. No, feeling great. Really!
I don't have much to report today except for some recipes for those interested in dabbling in juicing! I have a Breville juicer, I completely lucked out and found one on craigslist for a great price! But ... I was using my Target one before that and it worked just fine. You can also use your blender but I prefer the taste of the juice without the pulp. I am a 'no pulp' kinda girl when I buy my orange juice!
My daily (breakfast and lunch) juice is:
1 apple
1 pear
1 lemon (a MUST!)
head of romaine lettuce
3 stalks of celery
handful of spinach
I cut the apple and pear into large pieces (no core) and also remove the lemon peel. The better of a juicer you have, the less prep work you have to do. I put everything in and juice away - it is absolutely delicious, I promise. You can always get more adventurous and add strawberries, blueberries, etc but always remember to keep it green with romaine, celery, etc. Kale is soooo good for you and I rotate my greens by the week and depending on what is one sale.
For my kids:
1 pint blueberries (or strawberries - whichever is on sale!)
1 apple
handful of spinach
1 lemon
They both have their 'green juice cups' with a special straw and ta da, they are drinking spinach and loving it!
Well, I did it! After leaving your house I was motivated to go home and juice a gallon of carrot juice. That will hold me over another couple of days. Drinking the carrot juice so regularly has thrown me into a whole other detox. WOW! Talk about headaches and other fun stuff. I praise the Lord for the reminders that I am doing something right. I feel simply amazing! I can't wait to see the results on paper. Erin, I am so proud of you and your commitment. I feel there is no better way to have a clear head and hear God's direction for the future. I pray you have an amazing journey ahead of you. God is so good.
