Sweet goodness

When I make a great tasting mix I have to share it.

3 cups of coconut water
2 green apples
1 cup of grapes
1 cup of blue berries
1/2 an avacado
2 inch piece of ginger
1/2 a large beet
2.5 tbs of apple cider vinegar

I use the vitamix blender. This is an awesome smoothie. You taste the ginger and a hint of the vinegar, and it's very tasty.

Let me know if you try this.

Simple morning goodness

This morning my juice is good and simple. And i think this combination is well known.

1 beet
3 small carrots
2 red apples
1 lemon
Ginger to taste (I put a large piece of ginger because I wanted to taste it)
3 cups of water if your blending it like i do in my Vitamix

Great healthy easy to start my morning. Have a great day.

Kale and beets

2 cups of kale, half a large beets, 2 gala apples, 2 handful of grapes, 3 tbs of lemon juice, and some ginger.

It tasted good. A little sweet and the kale was not outstanding.

I was still light headed and realised it was because I'm anemic and have not had iron in two months. I keep thinking I can eat healthy and the anemia won't be a problem, but I see that's not the case. So I will be buying some iron supplement tomorrow.

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.
