More Green Juice

May 22, 2013 by Kristin

Dr Oz Juice

This “juice” was the second recipe I made from the Dr. Oz weekeend cleanse.  The first was breakfast quinoa.  Annnnd the third was supposed to be the soup, but all 20-ish dollars of ingredients are sitting sort of rotten in my fridge right now.  I’d say oops, but I’m not too bothered by it.  I’ve decided to say “yes” to the invites I’d ordinarily turn down to work on a post and not let the pressure of creating new content get the best of me.

Green Smoothie Ingredients

So here it is, a pressure-less post about some juice.  Someone else’s juice in a pretty cup with an umbrella straw.  Drinking this juice almost felt like vacation.  Rather a healthy, little, non-alcoholic stay-cation (the kind where you stay in, avoid emails, and get all of your laundry taken care of).  I doubled the pineapple to reaffirm the stay-cation-ness.

Dr Oz Juice 2

I drank half of the juice right away and put the remaining half in the fridge to bring with me to work.  I’m usually pretty grossed out by day old smoothie, but I think the straining away of the elements allowed this juice to keep.  It kept so well that I’m thinking of experimenting with creating bulk quantities of juice and keeping some in the fridge for early in the week and freezing the remaining juice for later in the week.

Any recommendations for freezing homemade juice?

Detox

December 30, 2011 by Kristin

I recognize that most people wait until after the new year to get back into the swing of real life, but I just couldn’t wait.  I’ve been off of work since the 23rd and after seven days of acting like a college kid, I’m done.  I was getting lazier by the second, changing out of one pair of pajamas only to jump into another.  It was a problem, this laziness.

I went to Rollin’ Oats last night and stocked up on everything and anything that looked blend-able.  Yup, in pajamas.  Pajamas that I graciously disguised as yoga gear.

Let’s just be thankful that I made it out of the house.

FoodFash Jump Start Smoothie

yield: 32 ounces

2 kale stalks, de-stemmed

1/4 papaya, seeds removed

1/2 lemon, seeds removed

1-2 inches of ginger, skinned and sliced

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup of pure aloe vera juice

1 cup of water

1 cup of ice

I blended the aloe vera, honey, ginger, and lemon (with peels) first to make sure they were completely pulverized before adding the remaining ingredients.  The lemon was definitely potent, but it completely masked any signs of papaya – which is a good thing because I find papaya to be… SO gross.  This smoothie wasn’t delicious by any means, it was merely OK, but with the following health highlights there’s no complaining going on here!

Kale – Contains over 45 flavonoids.  Studies show that flavonoids that have anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer properties.

Papaya – Contains papain, which is an enzyme that helps digest proteins.  They are also a rich source of vitamin C, flavonoids, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, magnesium, and fiber.

Lemon – Contains flavonoids that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.

Ginger – Has numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory effects.

Raw Honey – Contains phytonutrients that have been shown to posssess cancer-preventing and anti-tumor properties.

Aloe Vera Juice – Aids with digestion.

My New Pet, In Pictures

April 6, 2011 by foodfash

Breakfast: “Green” Smoothie

(Smoothie = Handful of Spinach, 1 apple, 1/2 cup frozen mango, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, 10 baby carrots, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup ice cubes)

Snack: Homemade Ciabatta Bread with Crofter’s Superfruit Spread

Dinner: Right Foods Soy Ginger Noodles

Dessert: A Mutilated Mango

And lastly, an intro.

Meet Oscar, my new “pet”.

Remember my recent bread baking addiction?  Well…  It’s still going strong.  I’m determined to make a sourdough loaf, which requires a starter or pet.  A starter is a batter of flour and water that requires daily feeding and over time becomes full of living yeast and bacteria.  Sounds pretty gross, but that grossness is responsible for the delish sour taste in sourdough.

Here’s to hoping I keep Oscar alive and well!
