Its been awhile

Its been awhile since my last post and I apologize for that. I'm back at work and I needed to get used to that. But I've still been juicing every day. I ran a 10K yesterday and I feel great. I had no muscle cramping and to day not much soreness. Its awesome.

I bought some cranberries from the coop this weekend. I like to buy new produce and see how I can juice them.
Now keep in mind that I use a 8 cup Vitamix blender. So here are my ingredients.

3 cups of water
1 red apple
2 cup of green grapes
1 cup of cranberries
1 Tbs of lemon juice
1 inch of ginger
1 beet

Cranberries have a lot of vitamin C and beets are a good detox for the kidneys and liver.

You can make this in a regular blender, it may not be a smooth as the Vitamix so you may have to add more water so you get a consistency you can comfortably drink.

This morning I had my usual breakfast for champs protein shake (look at my post titled breakfast for champs). For lunch I made my version of the detox salad because I didn't have all the ingredients.

4 carrots
1 had of cauliflower
1.5 cup of raisins
3 Tbs of lemon juice
1 Tbs of sea weed and sesame seeds

The carrots and cauliflower I put through the processor (my Vitamix does it all) and mixed it all up.

I think I've surpassed my minimum fruits and veggies requirement, how about you?

As always, stay healthy and wise.

    1. The alkaline juice balances out bodies. Most of the food we eat are high in acid, high acid level in the body promotes various health issues, gastric problems, joint problems, and they're some studies that show that is could lead to tumerous growths. Good luck and let me know how its going.
