RE: Recipe using 7 most Alkalining foods

Lucille,

Wow!  That sounds great!  Your idea of freezing the juice in cubes and making one bag per day sounds like a fabulous plan.  I find I spend LOTS of time cutting up veges and fruits for my Vitamix.  I like the idea of one day work for the rest of the week to eat.

I have never put avocado or broccoli into my smoothies.  I put them into most of the soups I make though.  I'll have to try them in a smoothie.

Today instead of having a smoothie I thought I'd make a juice.  It tastes wonderful but a mess to make.  Squeezing a nut milk bag (mine is nylon) takes time and doesn't get all the juice out.  I have more than a cup of pulp left over - more than Rene did when I watched her video. I will dry it out and save it to put into something else, so it won't be wasted.  I am enjoying the juice for breakfast a lot.  Here are the ingredients I put in today and it made 2 big glasses:

3 kale leaves

3 Romaine leaves

1 bunch parsley

3 large handfulls spinach

1 beet with leaves

2 carrots with leaves

2 stalks celery

1/2 cucumber

1 inch ginger - that makes the juice I think

5 strawberries

1/2 mango

2 key limes peeled

1 apple

 

Have a great day!

I bought a bunch of rubbermaid icecube trays from Amazon. So last night I checked them out and 5 cubes = 1/2 cup of liquid. Having it in cubes you can just use what you want to drink at the time.

Janet - do you really spent lots of time cutting up veggies and fruits?

Do others cut them up too? I will peal skin off certain fruits, but I

don't do much chopping.

I'm with you Amy - I use my tamper rather than the cutting board and knife :-)

Yes, I cut up lots of food each day to go into the Vitamix.  I cut them into about 2 inch pieces - not tiny. For instance, I cut an apple into 4 pieces.  I tear the greens into pieces as I take the leaves off the stem.  Prep work for eating a whole foods diet takes me a lot of time.

This evening I tried grating carrots in the dry container to make the fermented ginger carrots.  I have not tried before because whey was needed, but when I read that Lea Ann did not use whey and hers turned out good, I thought I'd try it.  So, we will see how they turn out.  The only problem is that my container is now orange from grinding 2 pounds of carrots to fit into one quart jar.  How do I clean it?  I tried dish soap, then baking soda and even hydrogen peroxide and it's still orange.  Any ideas to get the orange out of my new dry container?
