Day one...breakfast!

My whole fridge is stuffed with produce. When I open it, a huge drift of celery-smell comes out. I'm not sure how I feel about that. This is what I had planned for my first juiced meal - it previously had the name of Carrot Cleanse. I think I'm going to change that to the Orange Monster.

1 Green Apple (without core and seeds)
Handful of Spinach
1 Stalk of Celery (I only used half)
1/2 Lemon (Peeled and quartered)
4 large Carrots (peeled and cut)

Nothing in my research prepared me for how long it was going to take to prepare my breakfast. I think when it was all said and done I had spent 45 minutes of my time. Normally breakfast takes 2 minutes. I will be doing more research today to see how I might be able to prepare my produce so that it takes less time, otherwise I will be losing sleep and patience. Juicing the produce was actually pretty simple. This is my juicer:



We got it at target for around 100 dollars. Its easy to use and easy to clean so I'm happy with it so far. Here is the finished result of my juice:


Looks yummy huh? It actually made two of these so this one I put in the fridge for my lunch. It actually didn't taste horrible but it looked too much like vomit for my liking. I had to close my eyes while drinking it. My husband had one of those Naked juices for breakfast since he goes to work at 4am. He's home now so he can try my juice for lunch. I've always been a horrible cook so he's probably scared to try this lol.
