WEDNESDAY: NATURAL LIVING
Sunday morning, as I pulled out the dehydrator to make fruit leather (a.k.a. roll ups), which I do at least once a week, (see how I do it here), Kai saw a box in the cabinet where I keep it. “What’s this, Mommy?” “Oh, that’s a juicer.” “I want to make juice!”
And that’s how we began.
We pulled everything out of the refrigerator that we could juice.
5 apples
1 bag of baby carrots
1 zucchini
1 cucumber
We juiced all of it. Making a concoction with all of the ingredients first and then making a cup of plain apple juice after he complained that the first drink tasted spicy (the zucchini, maybe?). I thought it tasted great, so I sipped it down, while Kai enjoyed his apple juice.
The hardest part was the clean up, but for a fresh cup of juice – it was worth it!

Yummm…summer hotness has been calling me to make more green smoothies and plan a uice fast (a short one since I am nursing).
We live in PA. We got our potatoes in the ground in early March. Since we were haviing unseasonablly warm weather this spring we took advantage of it.
I’ve always wanted to try a juice fast. If you do it, let me know how it goes!
Hmmm. I meant a juice fast, not an uice fast.
