Tropical Envy...Too Tired to be Envious!

Well, I have made it to day two! I am so tired. All I want to do is sleep. I can't imagine that I am detoxing yet, although it's possible. It's probably more likely that I haven't been getting my caffeine fix. I didn't realize how much caffeine I was ingesting daily until I stopped having any. I'm gonna go for a walk in a little bit and see if that helps boost my energy levels. I need to do something, I have a ton of work to do today and I all I want to do it sleep.

Ingredients for Tropical Envy

 Today, I made Tropical Envy juice. It was a recipe I found online. I really like it but I was a little nervous at first because I had never juiced a beet before. It was a semi-sweet juice, almost with a hint of potato or earthy flavor. The recipe included pineapple, cucumber, celery, carrots, parsley, a beet, and ginger. I also added a radish and a clove a garlic just for fun.

Another thing I have noticed while juicing is that it takes me like 2 hours to get through a juice. I bought another Camelbak bottle yesterday, because they are air tight and have a built in straw. I found a clear one so I can still take pictures for the blog and show everyone. Anyway, this will hopefully keep my juice from oxidizing. If anyone has any better ideas, I am open to them because I just can't seem to chug my juice. I know that fresher is best because as it oxidizes it loses nutrient value. Anyone who has juiced before have any bright ideas?

Tropical Envy: It was really purple!

I am attempting to sprout some wheat berries right now. I once heard them called wheat grass seeds. Haha! Hopefully, I will be able to grow my own wheat grass and use if for my juices. I am really excited for it!

Tonight might be challenging! It's girl's night at my house and I have to be strong. I told everyone I was juicing right now so they are going to eat before they come. Food is very social in our society, so I will try my best to not be tempted. We are having a Halloween theme night tonight and I found a recipe for Apple Pie Juice. I am going to make everyone some juice! I hope it turns out well!

Thanks for reading!! I really like updating my blog! It's fun I can't believe I didn't start one before but not sure what I would have talked about.
