I am taking a break from being veg. I had only gone veg to see if it would help my endo. Since the endo specialist said it doesn't help I've been bummed about it. Not saying I'm gonna turn into a carnivore, never was one in the first place. LOL!
We'll see how I do with some animal protein back in my diet. And if I don't like it then I'll just go back to being veg. After all, I saw I am able to do it. Not like I was really missing out on anything. LOL!

Pineapple bliss
Today's green smoothie....I'm calling it pineapple bliss. I think it could have been sweeter but it was still good!
1/4 C pineapple
1 banana
1 round of spinach (frozen)
1 c yogurt (active cultures)
1 tsp flax seed
1 small lime
blend together...viola!
I haven't had a smoothie or green juice in three days now. Either it's all in my head or I am really feeling it. I also hadn't been drinking my ginger tea. The arthritis in my knee was killing me. Have gone back to my ginger tea the last two evenings....knee is feeling ok today.
Back on track with my smoothies and will do some kind of green juice tonight. Going to visit a friend this evening so hope she doesn't make too many goodies!
Namaste!

Juice feasting (aka fasting)
So after my idiocy of going off my diet this past weekend I have decided that not only do I need to get back on it....I'm going to try a juice feast at least 3 days a week if not more.
Today's lovely....what I am calling a half juice half smoothie. And of course, it's green. But yummy. I tried something different today and I really like it.
Today's Juice/smoothie's recipe:
(Juiced)
1 apple (I have braeburn at the moment)
2 carrots
1 lime (with the peel)
2 handfuls of fresh spinach (first time juicing these babies)
a handful of red grapes
Add to this in the blender (I use a stand mixer)
1 banana
5-6 strawberries
1 tablespoon flax seed
Tada! I wasn't sure about juicing the fresh spinach at first. When the smell hit me as I juiced it I thought uh oh....but it is just a neutral tasting as the frozen spinach. The lime really adds a kick to it that I like.
And before I forget, I started off the day by drinking a cup of warm (not hot) water with half a lemon squeezed in it. I read it is supposed to alkalize your body, fight off cravings, help with digestion, etc. So I figured why not. This isn't the first time I've read about this. I just thought now is the right time to incorporate it into my diet.
That said...I drank it around 0930 and didn't want anything until 1200. So if this is the case I'm gonna have to force myself to have some kind of breakfast. We'll see how it goes. Maybe today is just one of those days I'm not craving anything cause my body is still pissed off at me for eating a bit of hamburger meat. ;-P
Namaste!
