Juicing Jubilee

Yeah, we are over the Monday hurdle! I REALLY am not a big fan of Mondays. I hope yours was good though. I wanted to show you some recent finds at the store and do some explaining on my recent eats.

On Sunday, I went here and got:
This for me. I saw Jenni McCarthy talk about these in Shape Magazine. They are pretty high in calories but good for a treat.















This for Sophia. I am trying to gradually get her off of dairy because it is so mucus forming and she has asthma. This is a coconut Keefer. She wasn't impressed. I think it is wonderful!















This for Sophia. She won't eat regular peanut butter, but loves chocolate peanut butter on strawberries! It is a great healthy snack for her!  This stuff is kickin'
















Then I stopped here:















And got this: Vegetarian nachos- Yikes! I felt so gross after eating this. WAY too heavy. I prefer Qudoba!
Tonight was a grocery night for me so we had this. This is my favorite pizza, I've talked about it several times on here, but here is a picture of the box for you visual learners!
















Afterwards Sophia had a healthier version of a fruit roll up.















These are called FruitaBu's and they are 100% real fruit with no added sugar. Here is the box.















The rest of the evening was pretty much a juicing jubilee for me! I have been eating a lot of packaged foods the last couple weeks and boy can I feel it. I feel sluggish, grumpy, and bloated. It is amazing how much lighter and happier I feel when I am juicing. It has been a good lesson for me taking a few weeks to eat less than ideal food because I realized just how good the juice makes me feel, and how bad the packaged stuff makes me feel.

Partaay! They are like my little cheerleader pyramid! G-O Let's go Green juice, G-O Let's go!
Ok, sorry!

Carrot juice for pumpkin pie in a bowl.
Sophia drinking the pumpkin pie drink! She loves this stuff! Never mind the bad picture and the dirt all over her face! Point is even three year olds like veggie juice!















What I am realizing right now in my diet is that I am feeling the best when I am eating mostly raw, mostly vegan. Notice I am NOT saying all raw and all vegan because I do still liked to eat cooked things at dinner and I am really enjoying goat cheese and salmon (sometimes) salmon grosses me out sometimes too. I am still learning what works for me. This is still all part of my journey.

I have some exciting stuff coming up next week! Will share soon.

  2. I think maybe you should make huge batches of your green juice and other stuff and sell it. I would totally buy it. It would save me the time of doing it myself. We are so busy lately and always make it #1 on our list to eat together but sometimes it's a little too crazy. Or best would be to have you grocery shop with others (me included) and show them the things you buy/eat.

  3. Heather, that would be a dream job for me! Open a detox/juicing center on the southside! I would LOVE it, and I would juice for you everyday!

  4. I would totally love to visit a detox/juicing center someday. If you ever open one, keep me in mind when you are hiring your staff.
