Carmen Juices Atlanta!
Okay so school is kicking my butt, but what else is new? Today I had some awesome juices.
My green juice consisted of:
1 bunch spinach, 1 bunch watercress, 1 bunch cilantro, a few cucumbers, 1 bunch celery, 1 apple
(It made me run to the bathroom for a few bm's! Powerful stuff. Maybe it was all that raw oxalic acid in the spinach.)
I also juice a 1/2 of a big watermelon although I only drank about 1/2 of that juice.
And after my lab today, I had a coconut water.
Today I was craving a salad so I chewed up a small handful of romaine. I chewed and savored every bite until it because a juice in my mouth. It's a slight variation but one I'm okay with.
I barely drank water today--tomorrow I'll drink more.
Today's juices:
2 liters green juice:
1 bunch rainbow chard,1 bunch cilantro, lots of cucumbers, handful blackberries and strawberries, 1 bunch celery
1 liter fresh o.j.
coconut water
lemon water
I don't know when this juice fast will end...I'm taking it one day at a time.

Okay so after writing the paragraph above I did some juicing. Here's today's yummies:
I had another fruit blend/strain of kiwis, blackberries, strawberries, oranges, pears and fresh celery juice to balance out the sugars. I blended Spirulina in 1/2 the batch. For my green juice today I juiced celery (1 bunch), parsley (1 bunch), 2 lemons, 3 apples --truth be told I was a little low on greens. Later on today I went to the farmer's market so I'll have lots of greens. I got rainbow chard, cilantro, watercress, cucumber, celery spinach, and seeded watermelon, oranges, apples, grapes...
I want to share with you this website/blog I found. I'm probably the last one to find it, but I'm sharing it anyway. It's the website of Kimberly Snyder. She's out of this world. In a nutshell she's a Georgetown University Clinical Nutritionist grad, turned world traveler, turned living out of her tent/car in Africa, India and other exotic places for months, turned New Yorker, turned Hollywood Celebrity, turned Vegan raw food, health and beauty educator, but somehow stayed very grounded, centered and loving. She is absolutely gorgeous and a yogini with heart of gold. Yesterday I went through several pages of her blog which goes back years. She is so inspiring and down to earth as well. I wish I could tell her "Thank you" in person for being such a wonderful human being.________________________________________________________________________
So I ended up changing my juice program a bit today. Initially I was going to make watermelonade and some green juices, but instead I made a "fruit punch" (about 2 liters worth) with watermelon, blackberries, fresh orange juice, and grapes. This one I might have to add to my recipe book. It's so refreshing and fruitfully delicious. Usually I make super green juices but today mine came out looking like Welch's grape juice. I only used a little green so...To this juice I added one of those huge Japanese white radishes, a bunch of celery and half of a big purple cabbage. It made a lot of juice. It's sounds like an odd mix, but it's got a lot of distinct personality. It's got a zing from the radish but is quite yummy--really it is! It's also very light because of the lack of starch content. It's got a delicate on the top and looks like purple ale!
This morning I made an amazing juice. It was celery, cucumber, apple, rasberry and blackberry. OMGoodness! I drank a quart in one sitting. Later a drank a quart of watermelon juice. The juice of 2 oranges. I also had coconut water today after my lab in school, and a quart of carrot parsley juice. I am trying to drink large quantities of juice and water also. I have so much energy and my thinking is clear. Life is good and I feel blessed to be juice feasting for rejuvenation.
My mom just sent us an amazing package from Europe. She's on one of those Celebrity Cruise ships out at sea singing. She's a jazz talent from Hawaii named Azure Mccall. Check her out .
