We are officially in the final phase of juicing! And we have some fun stuff to play with. :) Some of the products we'll be trying this week include pomegranates, mangosteen, collard greens, and swiss chard. I'm pretty certain I've never purchased collard greens before, and I don't think I've ever even touched a mangosteen!
I've been juicing for lunch lately because I've had some yogurt that was due to expire, so I figured I'd eat breakfast and then drink lunch for a few days. This Zesty Green Smoothie included collard greens, green apples, carrots, and gingerroot. There was also supposed to be cucumber, but I belatedly realized this. :-P And there was also supposed to be cilantro, but I thought we already had some, so I hadn't put it on the list for our grocery trip last night. Instead we had parsley, so I substituted with that.
I think it was still a pretty healthy drink despite my edits. :-P That is way more fresh produce than I would consume on a "normal" day.
I think juicing for lunch has actually been working out great. I had a bigger breakfast than I normally would - a Banana Bread English Muffin with some Cinnamon Raisin Granola Mix peanut butter and a little bit of jelly along with the last cup of Yoplait Peppermint Bark yogurt. After finishing my juice, I felt completely satiated for a few hours really. I just had a couple of cookies for a snack, but I'm not even feeling terribly hungry.
