Immune Power Fruit

Today's lunch juice was inspired by the recipe for Immune Power Fruit in the book "The Complete Book of Juicing" by Michael T. Murray (p 209).  I altered it a bit, and my juice ended up with:

3 Oranges
1/2 bag frozen Pineapple, thawed
1/2 Banana
Frozen Strawberries, thawed
1/2 lemon
Sliver of fresh Ginger
Served over ice.

I loved, loved, loved this combination!  My cold from last week is still bothering me a bit, and this was super soothing on my throat.  Mark also has a bit of a sore throat today, and he thought the juice was amazing, too.  Here's to super antioxidant power!

Good Morning, Sunshine

Ugh! I slept dreadfully last night, and moved out to the couch around 2 in the morning.  I slept in until 9 and woke up with a sore throat. Blah!  I definitely was in the mood to try a breakfast juice, so I got right to work.  I didn't have an actual recipe to go from so decided to just wing it:

1 Orange
1/2 Cucumber
1 Cup of frozen strawberries, thawed
Kale
Spinach
Fresh Cranberries
Poured over crushed ice.

The color of the juice was anything but appealing, but the flavor was okay.  I think the Cranberries kind of took over the flavor, so maybe less of them next time.

For today, I want to go to Trader Joe's to pick up some more fruits and vegetables.  I always say that "True love doesn't allow one's spouse to shop at Trader Joe's on the weekends"....but I might just make an exception to that for today.  I also want to be sure and get my 30 minutes of exercise in since it didn't happen on day #1.

Happy Saturday, peoples!!
