I’m out of my mind right now with tons of fruits and vegetables. I never thought I’d go all the way, but I was sick on and off for weeks, for the first time in probably 10-14 years.  I finally broke out the dusty juicer, and got healthy again, literally overnight.  Though I’ve been 80% vegetarian for 26 years, I’ve never been turned on by the vegan or raw movement.  The word vegan makes me think of complicated, dense recipes. When I hear “vegan”,  dancing in my head are stale cookies, too much tofu and funky-meatless-gourmet dishes. All that transition food.  Then, raw foodism makes me think of hard, cold vegetables and a lot of crunching and chewing.  But, I’m hear to tell you, the juicing has been fantastic and delicious. I feel better than I have in 5 years.  Right now, I’m doing a 30 day cleanse, so I’m juicing a huge drink in the morning; starting my day off with a Lemon Ginger Blast.  Then for lunch I’m having a big salad with new, exciting, raw salad dressings made in the Vitamix.  I love my Vitamix.
Look at the size of these beets and this chard. George said, “that’s what she said” :-) AND, my new salad spinner. I’ve wanted one of these oxo spinners for a long time, so the seven dollar Ikea one we had, hit the road.
Can. You. Dig. It?
