And the detox begins

Last Friday, my new Breville Juicer came in from Amazon - I was very very excited, new appliances can do that to me..haha. That day, I went with a couple of friends to S-Mart and bought fifty bucks worth of produce - hella spinach, parsley, carrots, celery, apples, lemon, pears, kale, beets, romaine hearts, and a fat piece of ginger. The tipping point of my deciding to do this was when I just had no energy on the second day of class last week - VEGGIES MUST GIVE ME ENERGY PLZ.

So that's what I'm doing. I just juiced my first drink - a recipe from the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead website. It's called Green Lemonade. Sounds great doesn't it? This is the recipe I followed to a tee:

Green Lemonade

1 Green Apple
3 Handfuls Spinach
6-8 Kale Leaves
½ Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
½ Lemon

I took my first sip and...asfk;djnaksj. It didn't taste as "marvelous" as I thought it would..I could only take a few sips before officially puking - it's a taste I'm definitely going to have to get used to. Right now, the measuring cup of all yummy Green Lemonade juice is sitting in my freezer, that shit's gonna have to be at least cold before I drink it. The vegetables were cold as heck when I began juicing but quickly warmed from actually being juiced.

The Green Lemonade recipe made approximately 800ml - way more than enough to fill my cool ASuop cup (those fancy ones that come with a straw and errthang.)

Ugh, I just drank more of it. I think if I ever do this recipe again, I won't add as much kale in there..

These next ten days of only eating and drinking fruits and vegetables is going to be toughh.




Omgosh I think I'm gonna be sick.
