I've started using my juicer.It's crazily addicting!!! I feel so much energy on this vegetarian menu that I've actually kicked the coffee habit. A 3-year habit of downing 2 cups of coffee a morning, just to wake me up.......GONE!!! No w/drawal or headaches. Weird!
And, seriously, my craving for junk food=completely GONE!!!
I may take a bite of a chip or and sip of a soda...and I have to push it away b/c it is completely unappealing to me anymore. So, so weird!!! What I crave now are my fruit/veggie juices, my baked sweet potato for lunch, and my fruit/protein blend for snack. Here's the recipe for the fruit/protein blend. I 'borrowed' it from my fave coffee shop:
1 Cup Frozen Fruit (you can easily buy a bag of frozen fruit at a grocery store)
1 Cup Soy Milk
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Oil (also can be purchased at any grocery store)
1 Serving Protein Powder...optional (I added this ingredient on my own, just for an extra protein boost)
Blend it up and it's a really good, nutritious alternative to those high-cal Foo-Foo drinks that I've been drinking for years!
Next step=start working out!!!
