30 Days of Modified Juicing

Today has been great! Well, as great as Mondays can be, anyway. 😉

I toughened up and decided to try the Green Machine Naked juice. It has wheatgrass in it. And I survived…and actually liked it! I still like their all-fruit drinks more, but I know the green juice is way better for me, which was worth the slight taste downgrade.

After work, I came home to an Easter extravaganza! I had just been thinking about how it was a bummer that the Easter bunny didn’t drop by my house anymore…and then a massive Easter basket showed up at my door!

There were stuffed animals, chocolate bunnies (THREE of them!), chocolate-covered marshmallow bunnies, chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs, candy-coated mini Cadbury eggs, multiple packages of regular Cadbury eggs, Power Bars, adorable Easter socks, and more! And an Easter lily!

This will be great to snack on…in a few weeks. 🙂

I made fresh juice again tonight! I wouldn’t let myself sit down when I got home from work today until everything that needed to be done was done (okay, not everything…my to-do list is still quite long). Juicing was one thing that really needed to be done. But, because I had planned what I was throwing in ahead of time, it really cut the prep time! It only took me about 30 minutes from start to finish tonight. It’s in the fridge all ready for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch. The Naked juices taste amazing and they’re SO much easier, but I have to admit, I feel better when I’m drinking fresh juice.
