New Years new you.....or me?!

So the Juicing has been going well. I have found a great blog with juice recipes and am loving them, as is the whole family (www.healthycrush.com).  I have officially moved to Juice only for 5 days. I know, I could do longer but I want at least a week to reincorporate solids before going to a mostly cooked menu in Mexico.

So here are some of my favorites:
The Classic Green:
1 bunch Kale
1 cucumber
4 Stalks of Celery
2 Granny Smith Apples
1/2 Lemon (peeled)
a chunk of Ginger Root

This juice is amazing, I know sounds weird which is why I eased into it with a week of juice and food.  But I really like this and I feel AMAZING. No really. I drink 12-14 oz of green juice first thing in the morning and I am ready to go.  I can teach Yoga, I can see clients, I can play hide and seek with Marley, and not the kind where I hide under the blanket on the couch where I am sitting, the get up and find a good spot kind. It's fabulous!!

Some others I have tried:
Green Pineapple (from Healthycrush.com)
1 1/2 cups Fresh Pineapple (chopped)
4 stalks of Celery
1/2 bunch of kale
1 small piece of ginger

This juice is the Bomb!!! so fruity and delicious, made me feel like I was already in Cancun sipping a green juice on the beach. Hmmm, wonder if they have that there?

My husbands favorite so far is the Carrot Juice, which I have to say I am drinking as I am writing and it is pretty darn sweet.  Almost sweeter than the Pineapple.  But good enough to get me through my next few sessions.  Here is a version from healthcrush.com

Carrot Juice:
3 Carrots
2 apples 
1/2 lemon (peeled)
piece of ginger

All the ingredients I used are organic, doesn't make sense to detox from toxins with toxins. Just sayin'! 

I am super excited about further juicing experimenting and sharing with you, and I will also share the eggplant dinner from last week, so check back.

That my friends is how I am spending my new year, juicing and packing for our trip.

Peace, Love and Yoga
Namaste!
