Well, I began yesterday morning with the salt water, decided I was not going to do it another morning (did note from the book that I could substitute a cup of Senna tea - which I will do in future if I ever try again). Made it to teach Qigong with a container of lemonade, which is also losing any remnant of good taste - if that could have been said of it. The church room was cold, remained cold; we did our sets with coats on! Afterwards with some mounting glee I went to Kroger to collect the weaning off food: oranges (clementines), kiwis, bananas, pears, avocados, two bags of spinach, broccoli, romaine. Emptied what remained of my lemonade in the quart measuring cup and squeezed 3 Clementines. It was sooooo good. Breaking the fast! Best part! For the afternoon I made my first green smoothie: banana, 1/2 kiwi, fresh arugula and beet greens from the garden and some spinach, juice of clementine. What's not to like? I suspect this is what I need to cure my cough and what seems to be bronchitis. For dinner I concocted the following: avocado, key lime juice, garlic, green pepper, spinach (lots), clementine juice and a bit of water. I'm a believer.
I woke up this morning thinking about my breakfast smoothie. A rather simple one, banana, apple, juice of clementine and lots of spinach with the remaining arugula from my garden. I am already looking forward to lunch.
Good Job Mary!! Where have these things been all of our lives! Green smoothies are the key to optimum health, for sure! YAY!!! Now tell everyone you know :) Especially new parents..if I would have only known when my kids were babies..what a gift of health I could have given them. They run when they hear the Vitamix! I don't understand why the color of life, Spring, sun energy green would scare kids off. It's so beautiful to drink ::) Cheers!!
