Juicing Experience: Day 17

Day 17

Mr. Man so enjoyed the fruity drink from last night that he requested another one prior to leaving for work.  I was so excited that he willingly asked for juice.

Mr. Man's Breakfast:

• 1 papaya
• 1/4 pineapple
• 1 cup coconut milk

He LOVED it!  I think what I may do next time is slowly add in a couple spinach leaves and parsley.  Spinach doesn't change the flavor and will slowly introduce him to the vegetables. I would be happy if he even juiced once per day; he really needs the juice that clears the arteries and relieves stress.

Today I went for the colon cleanse detoxification.  I have reached the point where I prefer to juice over food....  Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing yet.  I read an article about an 88 year old man who what strictly juiced for two years straight: no solids.

Mario is leaving the holidays up to me.  He is indifferent if I cook or eat out.  I really love the simplicity of the Famous Dave's Thanksgiving Brunch just because it is rather inexpensive (the whole family can dine for less than a cost of a turkey), able to relax the whole day prior to returning to work the following day.  I do not have the luxury of a four day weekend.  :(

 

So, I am thinking I can probably just eat light on Thanksgiving and juice as much as I desire.

My meals today consisted of a colon detox.  It is very important to cleanse the colon first so that toxins may leave the body.

• 2 Apples
• 6 Carrots
• 4 Kale
• 1 Lemon (peeled)
• 2 Small beets
• 2 cups distilled water

Let's get this party started!

You would think the lemon would have made the drink tart, but it didn't.  I can definitely taste the Kale, hint of the lemon and beet.  The apple appears to have made it less bitter.  Keep in mind, the use of a full beet gives it a unique taste.  At least it didn't taste like dirt this time.  :)

Wondered how long it would take for the cleansing to start working.  May have to stay close to the house.  :)
