Juice cleanse

I wonder how big of an impact you'd have on flavor with that peach-spinach one if you did the whole thing in the blender and had the whole spinach leaf in there? Canned peaches would blend nicely... I use some in my banana bread.

We've been slacking again. We learned how to make pizza from scratch, everything but the cheese anyways. We can do calzones, pizza rolls, stuffed crust... We have to start over again. We've been having morning juices of a veggie nature though.

I started a vitamin regime for things like iron and B's.

Pizza sounds delicious. I hadn't started substituting the a juice/veggie drink in place of a meal. I think I will start next week. I have not gained any weight since being off of the juice . I am averaging a 2 lb weight loss each week.

No problem, I'm enjoying it this time around. Dh suggested just using the stick-blender on the peaches with the banana although I may leave out the banana next time since I am mainly using it to provide smoothness anyway. Try adding 1/4 tsp ground cardimom and a pinch of cinnamon, yum.

I love cinnamon and will surely try the cardimom!

Here's another great recipe from greenforlife.com with my tweaks. Love it!

Mango - Spinach (was weeds)
2 Mangos - Look for red and orange skin not green (if your grocery store doesn't have them find an Asian market)
2 handfuls of spinach leaves - organic baby spinach leaves
1 thumb size piece of ginger - pretty much a staple in everything I juice
1 beet - added sweetness
1 carrot - added sweetness


4 cups water (approx.) I am using an empty 64 oz. juice bottle and make sure I have enough added water with the juice to fill it up


Juiced in my OMEGA fruit and vegetable JUICER

Tomorrows recipe: Apple - Kale - Lemon (Look for organic apples and I will use lime instead of lemon)

How would this be as a blended juice, do you think?

The Mango - Spinach? I think it would be good.
