The Juicer Arrives!

     I made my very first juice. It's called "Mean Green Juice" and the recipe is from the earlier mentioned "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" movie. It's delicious but make sure to REALLY go light on the ginger. Ginger is a strong bitch, and she will bite you. A tiny half inch bit will do just fine. You can juice lemons and limes with the skin, but you should peel oranges.

Ingredients

•  1 cucumber
• 4 celery stalks
• 2 apples
• 6-8 leaves kale (Australian tuscan cabbage)
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 tbsp ginger

I'm still figuring out how often to juice. I think it's best to do it right when you start to feel hungry. By the end of day one, I was ready to mow into some chicken nuggets. As mentioned earlier, it just felt so odd to not have chewed anything all day and I was craving salt and crunch so hard. They say the first week is the hardest and then it's smooth sailing from there since you aren't craving shit foods anymore. I hope 'they' are right.
