Not for the faint of heart...

In general, my life always runs full speed ahead with some new dilemma cropping up at nearly every turn - It is like that hedge maze in The Shining; I can't find my way out and there is a psycho with an axe not far behind... If I can only stay...two...steps....ahead...
Today, after sleeping horribly, my side of the bed was taken over by a restless husband and bed-hog cats, I had to go and doing some measuring at the new house. Then, it was time to come home, drink breakfast (Sunset Blend), and continue packing ... lucky me! Next, I would do a bit of laundry and continue packing (sensing a trend here recently?). Luckily, I sat down to drink lunch (Lemon Lime), watch an episode of General Hospital, and pin to Pinterest. Because of our recent modifications to juicing, I had produce that I needed to take care of, so in comes the packing break to juice... lucky me! Due to these leftover fruits and veggies, I began to take things into my own hands - honestly, they aren't bad! I did good, have no idea what the fruit to veg ratio is, but that's okay - still better than I would ever being doing trying to eat this many vegetables!
Now, I am posting the picture for the day, and if you are interested, the recipes are below... I will explain, the first one is not for the faint for heart! The first also yields a ton of juice, so freeze!



Recipe 1 (Not for the faint of heart): In blender smooth 1 banana and 4 cups of blueberries. Then, juice and add the following, 1 head purple cabbage, 4 pears, 1 cucumber, 4 kale leaves, 1 bunch spinach, 2 large chunks ginger, 5 cloves garlic, 1/2 bunch mint, 1/2 bunch basil, 4 golden apples, 2 green apples - Mix well with a spoon!  

Recipe 2:  2 cucumbers, 1 small carrot, 5 green apples.

Back to packing.... lucky me! Happy Wednesday All!

  1. Hey Margaret,

    I started the reboot recently and I am on my third day. So far I am really enjoying how simpler life is. The juices have also been quite tasty and quite fulfilling. I'm also new to blogging, and I am going to give it my best effort to journal my progress, because I feel it helps me to stay on track. I love your blogs and will continue reading and posting comments. Recipe 1 seems like a lot, but I will give it a try one day, maybe with less ginger. Apparently, I am quite sensitive to the taste of ginger. I used a little over an inch for a 32oz juice, and boy was it SPICY! Had a difficult time drinking that one!
