Day 3--Because today is really Day 3..The Adventurous day.

Day 3; the final phase of the prep!
meaning NOTHING but raw veggies and fruits (well and our eggs:)) either whole or juiced. We increased our juices to four a day, a soup that we made with our juicer--I'm in love with that thing now--and watching our water intake as well.

Today was a real early morning.. we both had to be out the door by 7am on our days off! Before all our business became overwhelming we had the most amazing juice!
Found this one in a juice book--
SUPER JUICE:
1/3 Pineapple (peeled)
3 Clementines (or 2 oranges-Peeled)
2 Mangoes (Peeled)
2 Bananas
1/2 Kiwi (peeled)

I never wanted to stop drinking it!
We then went our separate ways for most of the day, I got to enjoy my eggs with my padre, then got some errands done to soon be back enjoying my lovely juicer and the rest of my day off with my mister. While he cleaned up a dog disaster (it looked like a winter wonderland with feathers from a pillow) I got to make our lunch juice, which would HOPEFULLY be a replacement for the Alkaline.  And here it is--

AFTERNOON DELIGHT:
2 large cucumbers (peeled or not, I keep the peel for the nutrients)
2 large carrots (tops off)
1 sweet apple
1/4 lime (peeled)
1/2 lemon (peeled)

As the name states, it was a delight!  It wasn't tangy from the carrots like the alkaline, and I was so happy I could find a replacement...Now I just need to find a better mix of veggies for my spinach..

I was then able to take a well needed nap.
I then found out that our juicer came with this awesome book that had other recipes for non-juice items such as muffins, salsa, and SOUPS! So we decided to give it a try for dinner! All it the recipes needed was to run it through, mix it with the pulp and heat or chill. Sounded like a good easy way to end a day.

Mmm we chose the Gazpacho.. With our own little twist, adding red pepper and jalapeno. Made it taste a bit like a salsa version of a gazpacho, ha, but a good change to juice (although its nearly the same thing). There is a picture below of the soup before it was mixed.. I just thought all the colors were so amazing. <3 

.. But we are able to spoil our selves because we can do all this for 20$/day for both of us.. so much better than the 40+ were use to. But anyway, we made a juice dessert drink, and it is incredible. Its tied up there with the super juice... here it is--

SWEET BLUES: (I named it.. for the color as the picture below will show)
1 Nectarine (pitted)
2 Clementines (peeled)
1 cup of Blackberries
1.5 Bananas


Mmm... Successful. I am full. :)
