day 8

Ok, here goes a quick post for day 8. Breakfast today was a tasty fruit juice, blackberry-kiwi.



Blackberry-Kiwi Juice
1/4 large pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into cubes
1 cup blackberries
1 kiwifruit
1 pear
30 mint leaves

Followed by another fruity concoction for lunch. 

Apple-Cantaloupe-Honeydew Juice
2 apples
1/2 cantaloupe
1/2 honeydew
6 to 8 kale leaves
6 to 8 Swiss chard leaves

I actually substituted some fresh romaine lettuce instead of chard leaves and kale, mostly because I used my kale up on Saturday and I didn't feel like stopping at the store on my way home from dinner last night. 

Tomorrow I'm going to have to go shopping for a lot of stuff, because I did a good job in the last 2 days of using up a lot of the loose fruits and veggies I had in the fridge. I've decided that I need to increase the veggies again. After last week's beet juice disaster, I really shied away from making the green juice, but I think I have to up the veggies because they have important nutrients I'm not getting... ugh, the green stuff tastes like earth. Luckily green apples help with that!

I'm feeling great, and I got tired for maybe 15 minutes today, but that wasn't as bad as the two days last week. I feel a lot healthier, and I'm happy with the results so far.
