1] Happy Martin Luther King Day!
...and happy first day of me messing around in Illustrator =)
2] Its been a week and some change since my Suja Juice Cleanse and I think its safe to say I've been bitten by the juice bug...
Drank the cool-aid...
Hoped on the bandwagon...
You get it.
I love juice and need it everyday.
The biggest thing I've learned after doing the cleanse was to eat when I feel hungry, and chill out on the dairy and processed foods. They make me feel so sluggish and tired.

The only problem is that I can't crack open 6 Suja's every single day, so I have to start juicing the veggies and fruits myself.
[enter thumbs down emoji here]
But, luckily, my mom gave me the best birthday present ever a few years back, and I'm putting it to good use----
my handy dandy Breville.
Every morning I start the day with a concoction of produce
[kale, spinach, beet, carrot, apple, ginger, celery, and cucumber]
that I juice into what I consider a pretty dang good tasty treat.
So, I've devised a plan that seems to be working:
A. I juice all my veggies and drink the whole cup, minus the last 1/8th.
B. I fill up the rest of the cup with 100% organic apple juice. This masks the taste of the veggie juice, so the kids don't even know they're drinking it.
C. Each day I add a little less apple juice and a little more veggie juice. Their taste buds are getting used to the unusual flavors of the veggies a little more day by day, so they can handle more without spitting it out. They're up to almost 50% veggie juice after a week. Hooray!
and #3!
I'm excited to kick off this week by introducing a few of my fellow "Blogging Lady Loves" to you! Each woman is so unique and inspiring to me in different ways--they're the type of blog that when I see they have posted, I have to go to their site that second.
You'll get to meet my first blogger lady crush tomorro...be sure to check back in!
looks yummy Wes. You should try putting all that into a really good blender. I use to juice but now I blend, blend blend. Its better to get all that fiber. Try it, after you get use to juicing for a while. You will love it! Good job on making Brons and the kids drink it.
ReplyDeletelol you're funny about the "check it right now" blogs. yours is one of those for me!
