Day 1

The day of juicing started off great. I am only glad that I had a later workday today them usual or I would've been late. This juicer is awesome and very efficient. The downside to that is that it is not super fast. I didn't even wash/peel the veggies and it still took 25min. to make breakfast, not including the cleaning. Then I had to make lunch before going. I am glad this juicer is so easy to clean. I had one orange, one tomato, four cups of kale and four carrots for today's breakfast. It was sweet and tasty, but I think the carrot flavor in these drinks is going to get old fast. Lunch had two cucumbers, four cups of spinach, one and a half cups of romaine lettuce, one apple, four cups of kale, and two carrots. This drink sat in the fridge all morning so it was very cold to drink. I began shaking it a lot, like a protein drink, and realized that it was probably oxidizing the juice and killing the nutrients, so I stopped. That was the worst tasting drink! It wasn't an instant gross taste, but I don't care for cucumbers and this tasted like watery cucumbers. I'll remember not to do that one again. The one I made last night to test the juicer was very good. It had red cabbage, mustard greens, apples, and carrots. It had a good zing in the aftertaste. When I got home from work today I went to work on dinner. I had 3 1/2 cups of Kale, one orange, a red apple, a green apple, 1 1/3 cup romaine lettuce, and one cup red cabbage. It was very tasty compared to lunch. But even with a good taste it was very hard to drink. I didn't strain it so it was somewhat pulpy, and it was pretty hard to finish and keep down. My stomach was not happy and I was not happy. But they all say it takes a few days to get the power boost and used to the taste. I went shopping for more produce this evening. Last time I shopped I had someone compliment me on my healthy eating, this time a worker gave me a $3 off coupon since I was buying so much produce. It is nice not having to walk through the whole store. Vegetables take up a lot of space. For $68 I got a grocery cart full of greens. While shopping I found some POM Wonderful pomegranate juice that was advertised on The Best Movie Ever Sold. I had to get some. It was a good ending drink to the day. Day one down, six more to go.
