juice fast journal: day 2
Usually by day 2 of a juice fast (yes, only day 2), I really struggle with cravings for FOOD! Not this time though, I was entirely content with my juice all day – I’m so excited : )
virgin mary juice
I have always hated tomato juice, despite being a bartender for more years and making more bloody mary’s than I care to remember… all with good reviews. Well, always, until March this year when my boyfriend made me a bloody mary on our trip to Puerto Rico. I fell in love!
juice fast journal: day 1
Tyler Tolman’s online juice fast started on August 1 and I’m totally hooked! As mentioned in my c.a.s.s. juice post last week, I had a day of juice on the official first day but took Friday through Sunday off to go to Osheaga music festival in Montreal… and while I missed my juice, it was totally worth it! A fab three days with great music, great company, and luckily for me, great gluten-free vegan Thai food : )
c.a.s.s. juice
T minus 3… first day of Tyler Tolman’s online juice fast! It’s T-3 as I’m starting today but taking Friday – Sunday off because I’m going away for the weekend and music festivals are hardly conducive to juice fasting… they barely let you bring water in with you : )
‘bucha baby!
I have been so excited… three weeks after hiding my first batch of kombucha in a dark cupboard I can finally unveil it! In addition to excited, I was very. very nervous. What if I messed up the preparation? What if I didn’t steep the tea for long enough? What if it tasted awful? What if it got contaminated? What if it fell off the shelf… all by itself?!?
supercharged lemon water
There are three things I recommend to people who eat a SAD diet and complain about feeling sick / bloated / stuffy / generally miserable / etc…
- Start the day with warm lemon water
- Make fresh juice every day and / or
- Embrace green smoothies
chocolate superfood smoothie
It appears that I can’t get enough of creating new smoothie concoctions lately! Or, I am simply substituting too many meals with these things ; ) Oh well, there are definitely worse things, right??
green nectarine smoothie
Yesterday it took me 20oz to decide that I actually liked my smoothie concoction! Today I thought I’d share the details incase you ever find yourself, as I did, with this very ripe, random mix of ingredients. I typically like my green smoothies to have a thick, creamy consistency so this one looked a little thin at first but it’s still yummy, and although it looks like grass and kinda smells like grass, it tastes like nectarines…
avocado & crackers
Every time I make avocado on crackers I think about posting a blog on it, then convince myself it’s so simple that it’s not worth the effort. But I think the time has come to share it anyway as I know it’s always good to have easy inspiration on hand.
confessions, surgery, and bike commuting
I started this little discussion on ‘moving’ about six weeks ago and the blog posts have been few and far between – my apologies. Then, by post #3, I realized I have confessions. Already. Blimey!!
