Day 1 & 2 Recipes for 7-day Juice-FEAST CHALLENGE!
A note on cucumbers. I like to use them A LOT. However, I have seen them priced as high as $2.50/each which is ridiculous! So, if you can't find them for $1 or so - then use romaine lettuce to substitute.The size of the vegetables that you use will create more or less juice, etc. So, if the cucumbers, celery bunches are particularly small then you will need more, etc. :)
Day 1 - morning
- (3) cucumbers
- (3) carrots
- (1/2) bunch of celery
- a little bunch of parsley
- (1) organic lemon
- a pink of Himalayan salt (very important for minerals).
Day 1 - afternoon- (6) carrots
- (1/2) bunch of celery
- (2) cucumbers
- (1) apple
- (1) lemon
- (1) pinch of Himalayan pink salt.
Day 1 - evening
- (10) stalks of celery
- (2) cucumbers
- (4) big pieces of kale (kale can taste VERY earthy)
- (2) green apples
- big bunch of parsley
Also, you can add cayenne, more lemons to add more taste to any juice! :)
Day 2 - morning- (3) cucumbers
- (1) romaine lettuce
- (1) bunch of celery
- (1) lemon
- (3) carrots
- small bunch of parsley
- a pink of Himalayan salt
Day 2 - afternoon
- (1) bunch celery- (2) green apples
- (1) lemon
- (2) cucumbers
* this is VERY tasty - you may want to double the recipe.
Day
2 - evening- (1/2) bunch of parsley
- (1) apple
- (2) cukes
- (10) celery stalks
- (1) lemon

Sugar and Juice-FEASTING, Saturday - May 30th, 2009
SUGAR - If you have a virus or you are very sick, then taking all fruit and the vegetables high in sugar out of your juice feast is important.
However, a carrot is much less than a snickers bar...so have the carrot. :)
There are certain vegetables that have more sugar than others: the top two are carrots and beats.
I like to use GREEN apples a lot when juicing. They are lower in sugar than red apples and they are tasty. Pineapple is very high is sugar - so we will use a minimal amount...
The darker green leafy veggies are the more alkaline. We are going to help your body to be more alkaline this week. The opposite of alkaline is acidic. In acidic bodies, the body naturally stores and holds onto fat.
We will have a greener drink in the morning, a more fruity one in the afternoon and taper off to a less fruity one at night.
Remember, this is a juice FEAST.
You want to drink at least ONE GALLON of juice a day. That is FOUR QUARTS
I like to use mason jars for storage. Generally, you don't want a quart-sized mason jar half-full. This will allow the juice to oxidize and this will kill off enzymes and we want to preserve those and drink them!
During my 33 day Juice-FEAST - I generally drank 4 quarts daily, water and 1-2 Kombuchas. I used THREE recipes a day to make the juice and that is what I will post for you this week. BTW, I am doing it too! :)
OK - here come the recipes.
Fire off questions to me as you review this information because this will help everyone participating!

Juice Feast PREP, Saturday - May 30th, 2009
Hi all,
Here are some overall thoughts and suggestions.
The next posts are the recipes for the week.
The difference between juicing and having a smoothie is that the fiber is taken out. This is one major point and benefit to juicing. Taking the fiber out allows the digestive system to relax, the nutrients/enzymes to be absorbed quickly into the body and it allows the colon to relax and slough off unwanted debris hanging on.
The colon is SUPER important because this is where 60% or more of water and nutrients are absorbed for the body. It sounds odd but it is true. When the colon gets bogged down then we don't absorb as much good stuff. Additionally, beer-belly's are known as toxic build-up in the raw communities. This is your body's effort to move the toxins away from your vital organs. As your colon clears out and things start moving better often times you will notice a nice decrease in the belly area. :)
Sometime during your 7-day juice-feast you may experience a lot of bowel movements or diarrhea or something different than "normal". If this happens, and you are concerned, post your questions or contact me.
Drinking enough water is important while juicing! Many folks forget about the water because of all the juice so I am reminding you of this. :) Drink your water.
Pink Himalayan salt is excellent as a mineral supplement during the juice-feast and for a long time after. You can sprinkle some in your juice and/or your water.
Blue/Green algae is an excellent support to pour a bit into your juice in the morning. The best is E3Live. There is a link in the right column of the blog. Some of you may have an awesome natural food store around you that may carry it. This is not necessary though.
Water and pink himalayan salt are my number 1 and 2 things for this week for you. :)

Nut Milk Bag? Juice-Feast Challenge Answers to Questions! :)
First question is about the nut milk bag.
What is this for?
When you are juicing for a fast or a feast - it is important to take OUT the fiber. This relaxes the digestive system, allows the colon to relax and slough off unwanted stuff hanging on to the insides. A clean colon means that your body can readily absorb nutrients and water back into your body!! YAY! :)
If you have a juicer, awesome - and you won't need to nut milk bag because your juicer extracts the fiber for you already.
If you have a blender, great! Then all you need is a Nut
Milk Bag to strain the fiber out.
The nut milk bag is about $8.50.
I haven't ever seen any around in a store before but you can check your local stores or order one via this link or whatever link that you find online.

June 1st - 7th, 2009
Please comment below (just at the bottom of this specific) blog-post to let me know if you are "IN".
Right now, what you need to do it is:
1.) Mentally prepare: yes, it's the mind that gets in the way.
2.) Start eating a bit better then you normally may but - for sure - start to cut down on the dairy - that's the most important.
3.) Make sure you have the equipment necessary:
a.) Juicer is ideal. My favorite is the Green Star J
uicer
b.) If you have a blender, great! Then all you need is a Nut Milk Bag to strain the fiber out.
c.) If you need a blender and you want a great one, I suggest the VitaMix
How will this work?
It's FREE.
I will post the recipes for the 7 days BEFORE the Juice-FEAST starts. This way you can shop and get ready to go! :)
I am going to spend the next few days figuring out the recipes. So, stay tuned and make the commitment to yourself. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning! :)I still haven't made it to the store since returning from my trip. However, I have been making a mini granola of sorts for breakfast while on my trip and then again today.
(The pictures and names of the ingredients link to a page where you can buy this stuff in case you are interested.)
I have been putting a little bit of whatever granola or bran cereal that is around (organic and healthy) with Goji berries,
Incan berries and raw cacao nuts.

Sunday - May 24th
Hi all, HOLY COW!!!
It has been two weeks since a blog?!
What's up with that? :)
I was at school for a week in Napa, CA.
It's a remote and lovely valley.
I ate food. I ate a bit more food then I thought but all is well and the food rocks there. ;) Lovely salads, fruit,, veggies of all kinds.
Today, I juiced. I couldn't find my camera to snap the shot.
It was watermelon, 2 sad looking bunches of celery and 2 well-done lemons. ;) It takes me a few days to get back on track after traveling so hopefully Tuesday - I will start writing regularly again.
The blog will continue and then morph into my new web site which will hopefully be completed the end of June...stay tuned! :)
At the moment, I am considering juicing one-week every month. Juicing one day a week is also very common. So, I will figure this out and update you promptly.
Have a lovely holiday weekend, Pauline

New Picture! :) - May 11th, 2009
Hi all, :)Here is a new and updated shot of me after the juice-FEAST...just taken today!
Thank you, Monaica for the great shots today. :)
Check out Monaica at www.SheBuildsEmpires.com
She ROCKS!!!
OK, I am getting back to juicing today. I kinda went off the deep-end in certain ways by testing what I can eat and how I am doing. What I have found is that no matter how great the food is...I just can't eat it all!! YAY!! This is so good for me because I have a habit of eating more than I need to - particularly when the food rocks (and even when it doesn't). This is a definite result of juice-FEASTING and allowing the digestive system to relax and the stomach to shrink. My goal is to stop when I am full!
This morning started with a glass of carrot juice.I just love this first thing in the morning.
Again, it is so filling and tasty...
like a glass of sunshine.
My next juice for the day waswatermelon,
(1) bunch of celery and
(1) lemon
This is tasty, wonderful and refreshing.
I fill one pint, cap it and put it in the refrigerator. It is best if you are saving a juice for later that you fill the container so that the juice does not mix with oxygen. This keeps the juice fresh.
Have a super night, Pauline :)

Hi all,
No pics today....
I have been hosting an event this week so tardy on my pics, recipes and announcements.
Overall, food has been going down pretty well. I feel that I will juice more next week prior to leaving town on Friday, May 15th. :)
I will update you on all,
Pauline :)

Pictures - May 7th, 2009
Hi all, :)OK, I decided not to weigh myself.
I feel good and I love wearing my old jeans.
These aren't great pictures but blackberry photo is nice to have around for spur of the moment shots! :)
Yesterday, I had juice, Kombucha and some veggies.
Today, I had juice. I will also have Kombucha, veggies and I am going to try a salad for dinner tonight. I will let you know how that goes. :)
Happy Thursday to you, Pauline :)

Update #2 on May 5th, 2009 - before and after pictures
This fruit is so pretty in this lovely green bowl! :)It is really nice to put fruit or veggies together because it just looks beautiful, nice and fresh. An inviting bowl is a helpful way to make the best choices regarding what you eat.
Just a thought...
I am now doing before and after pictures.
I bet you thought that they were of me! Nope!
Let's focus on the juice. :)
This yummy juice is(3) cucumbers,
(1) bunch celery,
(1) lemon and
I added more
carrots to this,
maybe (10).
This next duo is.......
(2) cucumbers,(1) lime,
(10) stalks
of celery
and a lot
of watermelon.
The final before and after pictures are...
(2) cucumbers,(8) carrots,
(1) lemon
(8) stalks
of celery.
OK, that's it for the before and after pictures! :) I hope that you enjoyed them.
Tomorrow is my official weigh in for a completion of 35 days in the world of juicing! And, I will post before and after pictures of myself when I have another good opportunity to have a photo shoot in front of the organic veggies!! Sara, I need you!!! ;) I am back in my size 10 jeans and they fit me well. I haven't worn this pair quite this comfortably in about two years. It feels nice and more like me...
Over and out, p
Update on May 5th, 2009
WHOA!!
I guess I dropped off the face of the planet in "Blog-World" since the beginning of May. I have a lot of pictures to show you and lost of information and updates. So, here goes - in order since Saturday morning...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I seriously did not care for myself on Saturday. This means that I did not juice enough or drink enough water and the repercussions were HARSH. Somewhere very late or very early Sunday morning I realized this. I considered getting up at 3am to juice but I didn't.
Sunday, I was officially dehydrated. This is not good. I had the chills ALL day and couldn't get warm. I was weak and listless and I tried to sleep most of the day. All I wanted was Miso soup which told me that I was very, very, very low on salt. So, I went to the store Sunday night and got Miso soup. I figured that my tummy could handle it and it did. I drank three packages and called it a night.
I did have more than Miso on Monday but I can't exactly remember what else that I had now but I have pictures to help me recall everything! :)
So, one of the BIG things to watch for when juicing is if you suddenly stop following all the protocols to maintain your health while juicing - which I did - so I decided to stop my juice-FEAST.
Stopping the FEAST means that you are still technically JUICING a lot!
The first 2 days they recommend juicing plus having 8 oz of dried prunes that have been soaked overnight. You are supposed to drink the juice and eat the prunes. Hopefully, it 5-6 hours you will have a bowel movement. I don't often eat prunes but I like them. I had FOUR and drank some juice. Here is the picture and it doesn't look very nice.... :l
I say POO POO to the PRUNE PROTOCOL!!!! Ugh.
I felt like I was carrying a basketball around in my tummy. So, a definite vote of NO for prunes to break the fast and NO prunes today!
I will have to use these beautiful prunes to makes some awesome pate of sorts for a raw desert. I think that I will freeze them...
Today, I juiced!
This pretty green juice is (1) bunch celery, (2) cucumbers, (1) green apple and (1) lemon. :)
Right now I am EATING a bowl of fruit!
I am so happy! The strawberries are AWESOME.
The picture is a bit "blown" out, bummer cause it was really pretty...here it is anyway...
It is strawberries, watermelon, honeydew with a squeeze of lime on top. Mint would be wonderful mixed in but it was pouring down rain while I was making this and I didn't feel like getting wet. :)
The protocol for day 3 & 4 of breaking the juice-FEAST is to juice and have fruit. I moved that to start on day 2 because of my bad prune reaction. I hope to have a good reaction with eating the yummy fruit! I will let you know tomorrow. :)
My next post, upcoming in minutes, is of pictures that I have taken over the last several days with recipes. Please enjoy!!
Also, I will keep blogging about what I am eating. I have heard from many that they are juicing a little bit and/or thinking of having a healthier diet! This is awesome!! :) You are what you eat.
Have an awesome afternoon from a gal that is feeling WAY more herself, p :-)
