Juicing day....whatever.

At least I am still juicing at least once a day.  I added hummus.  I very much would love to add another protein but I haven't reached my goal yet.  Also, I have found that I like chewing.  Mastication is fun and good for you!  Green juice tonight because I have a lot of veg to get through.

Breakfast - Simply Orange Juice

Lunch - 2 cups of spinach, 3 tablespoons of hummus, one romma tomato

Juice:

1/2 a cabbage
1 cucumber
1/2 a lemon
1/4 inch of ginger
3 carrots
4 small beets
248 tiny calories

About 16 oz yield

Juicing/Fasting: Day 3

Got the good husband to go to the store to stock our shelves with lots of veg.  I feel better than I did yesterday.   This is not as hard as I thought I would be, and the soup seemed to help with the feeling of warmth.  Fasting in the winter is odd.  There are fewer fresh local choices.  Two things I am noticing is that I am not quite getting enough protein and almost no Vit. D.  I am going to supplement that. 

Coffee.  (Oh, I know...I should give it up, but there are only so many things I can work on at one time.)

One Green Apple, Raw

Cabbage Soup

Ginger Beer

Green V8 type juice:
I can honestly say this didn't taste like V8.  It was however very complex.  Almost too complex.  It was also thick.  VERY thick.  I strained it 3 times, and drank it on ice.  The taste was good.  Very fresh.  I added some lemon and old bay seasoning, and a bit of salt and pepper at the end.  The only other thing is that I think I might have blended (instead of masticating) the tomatoes, and added them at the end.

3 large tomatoes
4 ribs celery
1/4 cup of cabbage
4 carrots
2 cups spinach
3 ribs of kale
1/4 of an onion
1 clove of garlic

Broke down and had some incredibly garlicky hummus on lettuce leaves for the protein tonight.  I should probably have a protein source earlier in the evening.  This is one of the reason I never made it as a vegan.
