Pulpy Pom Wonder

I am calling this one the Pulpy Pom Wonder!

1 16 oz Pom Wonderful
8 oz of frozen pineapple
2 giant navel oranges

Blend until smoothish.  I also added 1 scoop of Plantfusion.  I love this stuff.

Hopefully this will scare away the cold my husband and child have.

Fasting can help protect the brain..

This interesting article on brain health claims:

Cutting daily food intake to around 500 calories – which amounts to little more than a few vegetables and some tea – for two days out of seven had clear beneficial effects in their studies, claimed Mattson, who is also professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.


This is an easy(ish) challenge with juicing.

Booze is good.

My new favorite cocktail:

Ice
2 fingers of brandy
Fill the rest with high quality ginger beer, like Maine Root Organic Ginger Beer.
Twist of lime.

I think I will call it a Biting Stormy.


Pink is the new Green

This is a wonderfully healthy "green" juice.

4 small beets with greens
a bunch of spinach
5 carrots
6 or 7 pieces of frozen pineapple.


I ran out of ginger so I sub-ed in the pineapple




Ok, I admit it.  I am not always fond of green juices.  But this is a pretty good combo.

A more complex tasting juice

This is a bit of a complex juice, but I like it.


One large orange
2 small clementines
several small carrots
3 stalks celery
one green apple
one big honkin' beet.





This is a fairly bright, complex juice.  Next time, I think that a bit of ginger would be nice in this.  I have been on a huge citrus kick lately.

Waiting not very patiently for spring, and more juicing options.
