Smoothies and Superfoods~
This is my favorite superfood powder. By a great herbalist that makes "quality" Products, Dragon Herbs. It costs a bit, but less than a cup of coffee per day Very balanced ingredients, although I wish they left the wheat grass out, being a person with wheat (not gluten) sensitivities.
http://www.dragonherbs.com/prodinfo.asp?number=686 I add herbs to my smoothies, and use it as a method of taking herbal powders and such. My favorite herb to add is Goji berries. Some say you should soak them first, I don't, I like the way they sort of crystallize in the smoothie My herbal smoothies look like this: Frozen fruit (blueberries lately) Goji berries Almond milk a bit of yogurt with probiotics Powdered almonds or black sesame seeds Shatavari (herbal phyto-estrogen) http://organicindiausa.com/_product_..._Powder_-_1_lb Amalaki http://organicindiausa.com/_product_..._Powder_-_1_lb Ashwagandha http://organicindiausa.com/_product_..._Powder_-_1_lb along with my vitamin D I love this herb company, because they have great ethics regarding farmers and the earth, they are organic and the have the BEST prices around. Green smoothies are on my list of things to try, I will look at you all's recipes to get a feel for it Thanks for that!

make your own nut milk super cheap!
I hate cow's milk...I never liked it as a baby (my poor parents) I like this video the best because they *hide* dates in the mixture, extra nutrition. Watch the clip before you form an opinion. It lasts a week!

I am on day 3 of My juice fast and I am 12 pds. lighter! (I know I don't believe it either) I also have a significant reduction in back pain and My skin is starting to clear. I can't believe how rapidly things are improving. I'm a little bewildered.
I am still struggling with quite a headache, but I am hoping by tomorrow that will improve. Breakfast today was Carrot, blueberry and apple juice.

I watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and I am following what Joe Cross did.
Morning is more fruit juice and as the day progresses you do more vegetables w/ some fruit about a 80/20 split. I usually do either kale or broccoli with cucumber, celery, green pepper, and either green apple or pear. I will add carrot back in as soon as I get some more, I go through a lot of produce juicing. I won't lie, the first few days are tough...the headache you get while detoxing is a killer, but it passes.

Juice fast
What a great move ElijahRene!
It's such a hopeful video, and what a terrific idea just driving around for 30 days and juicing...He looks healthy now. How's it going today? That ratio of greens to fruit is what I do as well, though I focus a lot of the greens because I'm mostly doing smoothies. I juice on the weekends for the week and just toss the frozen juice in the blender...delicious. So, congrats and keep up the good work! Greco Quote:

Juicing
ElijahRene here is the link to Joe Cross's reboot program. There it explains
everything about the juicing. They have schedules for people at all stages of changing their eating lifestyle, which I thought was excellent so check it out. http://jointhereboot.com/reboot-program/ I'll be saying more about my own juicing in the next post. As I said to you before I read this post, I think its good what your doing. Eating healthy=health, clarity, and ENERGY in my book so if you want let us know how your doing. Greco Quote:

green juicing day 1(kinda)
Hi Folks,
I've decided to begin the juice feasting (prefer it to the word fasting) even more, to step it up. So I'm counting today as Day 1 and I'll report on how I'm doing daily as I can get to the coffee shop. Today I began the reboot standard program from Joe Cross's site, the link is in my previous post reply to ElijahRene. It consists of 5 days of eating fruits, and veggies in any form except for frying of course. I agree with Dominique about the importance of fiber. So my green smoothies remain, and will up the amount of green juice daily, also can have salads. That's it fruit veggies and more veggies! Then 5 days of only green juices. Then a return to eating fruits veggies salads soups smoothies etc only fruit and veggies with a bit of oil of your choice. I love both olive and flax. Also I will have tea (non-caffeine), and H2O. Now nuts, seeds, and of course animals etc I will not have until after I'm done, except in my case for the animals, don't do animals anymore. My dates for this is begun today 1/21/12 - 4/21/12, two months...I'll let you know how it goes... Green smoothie: Today I did have Brazil nuts, and chia seeds in my smoothie before seeing the program. and 4 apples green powder red powder flax oil H2O delicious! on to the green juice 7 stalks of celery 7 stalks of dandelion 7 stalks of kale 1 cucumber 1 branch of ginger 1 lemon On my juicer this came to a bit more then 24 oz I diluted above with about a little less then half the juice to make about a liter. I froze some, and drank 24oz of the juice during the day. This is not such a different day for me, except that I did not have any grains, or pasta. I missed chewing for sure...Tomorrow, no nuts, or seeds, nor grains etc. Question 1: How do I feed myself? With life-affirming foods. Wish me luck! Greco

Hi guys,
I made it through 6 days of strictly juice (down 18 pds.) but My energy level was so bad it was difficult to function at work. Now I have added whole foods back into My diet, but sticking to the program and My energy level is back. I don't regret the fast, I think it has "cleansed My pallet" if you will and made it easier to stick with a whole foods plant based diet. The weight loss has slowed substantially, but I guess that's to be expected. I am guessing the fasting slowed My metabolism and now there will be an "adjustment" period. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I also want to thank everyone for being so supportive!
