Yesterday I could not resist the temptation to indulge myself on fresh squeezed orange juice with all the pulp I wanted. Boy, did I ever drink a lot of orange juice with my new citrus juicer. I must have drunk about 12 oranges worth of juice with more pulp than I have ever drunk before. Deeeeeelicious!!! Later in the day, as I was preparing to go to the gym, I decided to get out my old Jack LaLaine juicer and make myself a new creation as I wanted to take this juice with me in a small stainless steel thermos and drink it right after my workout. It was comprised of:
About
50% organic carrot juice,
25% organic apple juice
Then I put this juice in my new Hamilton Beach single-serving blender and added fresh Baby Spinach leaves encompassing the last 25% of my juice creation.
I've always felt the Jack LaLaine juicer wastes too much of the Spinach so I decided to try an experiment by adding the Baby Spinach leaves to my new single-serving blender and IT WORKED!!! The Spinach leaves gave the carrot juice a healthy pulp that was incredible! I didn't want to drink too much before my workout so I got ready then rushed to the gym, as I was somewhat late for the Zumba class. About half-way there I realized that I had forgotten to take the friggin juice! Man, I was angry, but said "Oh well...." I decided that my punishment would be for me to buy fresh squeezed juice after my workout. The workout was amazingly concentrated. I only lasted about 25 minutes before I was done for the day. A Power Packed workout to say the least. I went to the juice bar and decided to get something exotic:
A small Organic Acai Berry smoothie with Organic Blueberries, Organic Frozen Acai Berry Puree, Organic Bananas, Organic Apple Juice and a bit of ice. Although it wasn't as sweet as I would have liked, it tasted FANTASTIC! As I walking around the story I began to feel my stomach reacting in such a positive way it was amazing. It was like my stomach was saying THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU over and over and over again. Not even drinking massive amounts of Aloe Vera juice has produced such results in my stomach. I was able to buy that very same Organic Acai Berry Puree along with some Organic Blueberries. I also decided to add Organic Strawberries to my new smoothie creation among other things. Well, I got home and slowly began to sip the Organic Carrot, Apple & Baby Spinach creation I had left behind. I decided NOT to refrigerate the remains as the refrigerator tends to ruin the quality of the fresh squeezed taste. The next day I drank the remaining Carrot, Apple, Spinach juice for breakfast and did things around the house. When I finished my tasks I took a shower and prepared to make an Acai Berry smoothie unlike anything I have ever heard of.
Organic Blueberries
Organic Strawberries
An Organic Plum
Some V8 Fusion juice
Some Minute Maid concentrated Berry Punch
I had to mix it in order to fit the Acai Berry Puree and drink some of the juice first to make room. WOW!!!! Even without the Acai Berry Puree it was FANTASTIC!!! Really knocked my socks off, it did! Then I added the Acai Berry Puree and a bit of crushed ice and...SOCK! BAM!! POW, BATMAN!!! It really rocked my world. What a smoothie!!! I wanted to see just how this smoothie would react with my stomach so I limited my eating anything else, took a nap, awoke and created this post. I FEEL GREAT!!!
I bought four of these Sambazon Acai Berry frozen Puree packs and each one contains four smoothie packs:

Oh yes, I will indeed be making more of these fantastic smoothies and next time I will add some Alive Wholefood Energizer Ultra-Shake (vanilla) protein powder I just bought so the smoothie will be EVEN BETTER:

Sounds marvelous. One of my favorites at Jamba Juice is a carrot/orange juice with 60% carrot and 40% orange. You should check out both the Breveille Juicers ( http://www.brevilleusa.com/juicing.html ) as you can put whole apples in and is much easier to clean and also the Montel Williams (I know, I know) Blender ( http://www.myhealthmaster.com/ ) you can even make carrot soup in it and with teh blender you don't waste anything.
You might consider trying blending some walnuts that you soaked overnight with the spinach leaves...fantastic! You'll feel a significant health boost if you can include at least 10 fruits and veggies, not sure why 10, but that seems to be the magic number.
A movie you might want to consider is Fat Sick & Nearly Dead ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv3vEXy_EwU ) it's very inspiring.
Juice on!
