DAY ONE Update

I have to give a little update that I did eventually juice half of my honeydew melon - it wasn't as sweet as I would have liked it so I added an apple and that seemed to do the trick.

Around three pm, I was feeling a bit hungry.  Not peckish as I usually am (since most days I am eating something every couple of hours) but actually grumbly belly hunger.  I decided to try my hand  at a veggie concoction and see if that may be a bit more filling.

Here is what I juiced:
3 very ripe small tomatoes
1 carrot
2 leaves (stem removed) green Kale
1 stalk celery
1 2inch chunk english cucumber
1 quarter small green cabbage

This made a very large glass of veggie juice.  The color of the Kale juice was incredible  - it was so bright green I felt a small thrill at how healthy that must actually be.  The overall drink was kindof an unappealing brownish color but I must say the taste was really lovely!  I resisted the urge to add salt but did allow myself a couple drops of Tabasco.  YUM.  Filling, healthful and fresh.

Now how can juicing ever be considered weird when we can eat things like:  Edible oil product,  Edible wax,  Perfume, Animal by-product,  Minced fish parts, MSG, Refined white flours and sugars, Trans fat,Spray vitamins and added colors?  Hmmmmmm . . . something to think about!
