refreshing juice, refreshing music

a picture of my morning juice!
I use carrots, ginger, lime, cucumbers, chards, kale
celery, beets, and other veggies or fruits, parsley
the recipe changes every morning depending on
what I have available, but usually the carrots are not missing


it's so refreshing!

and refreshing too is great music!
so a link to KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic from today
with a live show from The Shout Out Louds
I didn't know this band, I really liked them!
with great music! nice way to begin a 3-day-weekend!

Juicing

last Sunday I felt awful
I almost fainted at the laundromat
sweaty, clammy feeling
have I been eating too many carbs? YES
have I been not exercising? YES
so after the scare and some blood tests
I am back to something my beloved mother taught me
many years ago: Juicing!
so instead of my morning coffee with toast
I am blending and / or juicing:
Kale
Pineapple or carrots or apples (or all)
Celery
Lime
Cucumbers
Parsley

the concoction is delicious!
is refreshing and feels like a blessing to my belly
and system in the mornings

I still drink coffee, once I get to the office
and I have a 'normal' lunch

when I come home, I have another juicy wonderful
refreshing magical green concoction
and then dinner, usually I am less full after all those
veggies and marvelous micro-nutrients

Only 5 days, and my skin looks clearer
my hair shinier and I have more energy
the power of the green veggies!!
Give it a try!

I started blending the ingredients
and now I got a juicer too, a Breville
since the juice has no fiber, I am doing
a mix of juicing and blending
I choose to juice green veggies and to blend fruits

OK, did I say I still have my coffee at the office?
just not first thing on the tummy on the AM
