Juicy Love and Grocery Finds
I've really been enjoying my green juices lately. I feel so great and vital afterwards, they are so worth the work! :) Here is one from last week: 2 apples, collards, celery, lemon, half a cucumber and broccoli. I took the picture along side the sand dollar T found the first day we got to the Bahamas to get married. Everyone thought it was a sign of luck. I stays on our TV stand now.. it's our good luck charm!
The other day I wanted to make Ani Phyo's Sun Burgers, I got a little creative and decided to just make my own. I put sunflower seeds, almonds, flaxseed, onion, broccoli, kale, and green peppers in the food processor and ground them up. I added seasonings, olive oil, and water to the mix and formed patties. I popped them in the dehydrator for 5 hours and voila! Lauren's Raw burgers! I had it on a sprouted grain bun with mustard, sprouts, avocado, and tomato., along side a big salad. Mmm.. I froze a few of them so I will be enjoying these again soon!
Here's yesterday green goodness: parsley, lemon, collards, 2 green apples, and celery. The color was so magnificent! I feel like my body is glowing after drinking green juice. I am totally hooked!
Over the weekend T and I went to the health food store near our parents. I got lots of loot: Pesto Pumpkin Seed Raw Crackers, Pizza flavored raw flax snax (little crackers...soooooooo good!!!), Italian flavored Nori Wraps, Organic dried Goldenberries, Nori Snacks, Raw Monukka Raisins (these are unbelievable, so big and juicy!), and a Peanut butter Lara Bar. Not pictured: buckwheat groats and Kombuchas.
We also hit up Trader Joes yesterday. Here's the goods: Cream Corn and Roasted Pepper soup, Raw Almonds, Creamy Vegetable Medley soup, Green Olives, Raw Pistachios, Yogi bedtime tea, and Turkish figs (OMG, THESE ARE FABULOUS!! They were a new product, I need to go back for another bag..yum and unsulfured too!)
