Hi, ‘yall!
How’s the holiday season treating you? Hope you’re taking breathers here and there (maybe even sneaking in a raw juice or smoothie!) and taking care of yourself as you take care of everyone else and prepare for all the celebrations.
That said, www.E3Live.com has decided to share some holiday cheer and pass on a 20% off discount to us. How cool is that?!
I mentioned E3Live a lot during one of my 30-day raw juice fasts (that was documented) and I’ve reviewed the following products and hosted a RAWsome giveaway for them.

Hi, y’all! How’ve you been? I know I haven’t posted much but I promise, I’m working to change that!
Did you enjoy my Aurorae Yoga Denim Mat Sak Review? I sure hope so – ‘cause I’m loving it! It’s super cool to store/transport my yoga mat. Although I never really leave the house with it (I do yoga at home) it’s going to be awesome to use when/if I decide to go for a long bike ride in the park and want to take a yoga break!
I feel autumn’s cool breezes today, do you? I LOVE autumn – it just never lasts long enough, in my opinion. Here in Missouri, it seems to go straight from summer to winter without much of a true autumn transition. I remember autumn lasting a lot longer when I was a kid.
But what I really want to talk to you about today is the Labor Day sale going on at E3Live.com!

Winning Number
There were 131 comments on the E3Live + BrainOn contest post. I visited Mr. Random (random.org) to select a winner.
The number result was 99.
Owner of #99
Why, that’d be Cyn from www.writeforehow.com!!
Cyn’s winning comment:
I follow your rawjuicegirl account on twitter.
I especially thought Cyn’s comments on the review posts (part of the contest entry options) were very sincere and deserving of winning this contest!
Cyn’s comment on The BrainOn Review
I. So. Need this.
I will be 40 years old in just five days. I’ve noticed –in the last year or so– a little forgetfulness and “brain fog” that wasn’t there before. It’s frustrating, because I was always such a great multi-tasker. Now, it’s harder to remained focused on one thing, let alone 4 or 5.
Cyn’s comment on The E3Live Review
I really-really-really want to try this stuff. If it weren’t for the price, I would have whipped out my credit card and ordered it after reading your review. The testimonials on their site are glowing…but most of all I trust your opinion. If you say it works, I believe you. Now I just need to figure out how to scrape together the cost during the costly holidays! 
Like most of you, Cyn also entered various other ways. She worked hard to get her entries in.
And while I’d LOVE to send each and every one of you away with this fantabulous prize of over $200 of E3Live products so you could enhance your health, I simply cannot. 
But do keep coming back. There are more contests in the future and more opportunities for you to win a fabulous book, delicious health foods, or even raw beauty products. Be encouraged, and keep working toward your ultimate health!
Congratulations, Cyn!!!
And a HUGE thank you to the fantabulous folks at E3Live for sponsoring this contest!!!
Before you scroll down to find out what takes the place of tuna in tuna (fish-less) salad, be sure to check out what I think about reversing diabetes in 30 days, plus my latest contest (over a $200 value!) and my chocolate-covered raisin hemp balls. You might also enjoy some naturopathic teaching in Zeenat’s guest post about the healing properties of onion.
Gone raw – or want to – but don’t want to give up your beloved tuna salad? No problem! Just check out my raw tuna fish-less salad below. YUM! Pretty close to the real thing, don’t ya think?
This is an especially nice meal or snack for someone who can’t stand the fish smell/taste. You get the benefits of tuna salad (protein, omegas,vitamins, minerals, etc.) but not the fishy aroma or flavor. And you’re even getting zinc from the sunflower seeds! (Oops! I spilled the beans!) 
Raw Juice Girl’s Tuna Fish-Less Himala Salad Recipe:
1 1/2 cups finely ground sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped (I used about 3/4 of that small onion)
17 (soaked) cashews, roughly chopped
small handful raw sunflower seeds (I didn’t take time to soak these)
avocado (half in the mix, half sliced for serving)
freshly ground Himala pink sea salt (to taste)
Himala organic garlic salt (to taste)
freshly ground Himala black peppercorns (to taste)
Just enough water to make the consistency of tuna salad
(I had a cereal-sized bowl of leftovers.)
Note for next time I make this: It needs more onion and some pickles. If you like pickles in your tuna salad and aren’t worried about being 100% raw, you could add canned pickles. If you are worried about staying purely raw, you could make some “fridge pickles” as my friend, Beth, pointed out.
Mix it Together
Serve with your favorite, sliced veggies – or dehydrated flax seed crackers (those are coming up soon!). Of course, you could also smear it on bread and have a sandwich but I try to avoid the bread-like stuff. If I don’t, I look like dough.
And there you have it. What do you think? Does it look like the real thing to you? Have you ever made mock tuna salad? Are you a vegetarian, vegan, or do you try to cut back on your meat intake (some people consider fish to be meat)? This is a great recipe for you, too – even if you aren’t a high-raw foodie. 
The best thing about this tuna fish-less recipe is that it’s free of soy, gluten, dairy, and harsh chemicals/preservatives.
Himala Samples
And a ginormous thank you to Melissa Kushi from Himala Salt for sending me these beautiful, delicious samples! A full review of each product (and the extremely eco-friendly company is coming in the near future!)

If you’re just tuning in, be sure to check out my review of E3Live. And a huge thank you to the folks at www.E3Live.com for sponsoring this review (and upcoming contest)!!!
Note: E3Live sent me samples, but I have not been paid to write this review. The thoughts I share in this post are my honest opinions.
I decided to use E3Live on its own, without mixing things up with BrainOn. I wanted to listen to my body and be absolutely sure how I felt taking each product. So now that you’ve read my thoughts on E3Live, it’s time to learn about BrainOn….
From Klamath Lake
The blue-green algae found in BrainOn comes from a lake in Oregon.
“Upper Klamath Lake is free of adverse bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. The lake receives an average 300 days of sunlight per year which provides a perfect growing environment for the world’s richest strain of wild AFA blue-green algae, scientifically known as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. The alkaline lake water provides more than 60 times the nutrients needed for the algae to grow to its full potential each year. Under the right conditions, AFA algae can reproduce every 20 minutes, which provides a plentiful abundance of this organic, high life-force, miracle super food.”– www.E3Live.com
Brain Power
It’s kind of crazy to think you can actually absorb brain power from a serving of blue-green algae each day, isn’t it? But when you think about it, you’ll realize that for decades people have been stuffing their faces with overcooked, sodium and chemical-filled foods that are lacking nutrition. When our body lacks the nutrients it’s crying out for, our brains lack as well.
We have to remember that our brains need to be nourished in order to work like we want them to. Want to remember where you put your keys? Your anniversary? Answers to a test you studied days or weeks for? Do you desire to have the mental clarity and focus you used to have? Tired of feeling foggy and forgetful? Feed your brain!
Learn why you can nourish your brain cells with BrainOn…
From the site:
“E3Live BrainOn® contains the active ingredient in wild-harvested AFA that both promotes mood balance and enhances focus. In fact, no other product competes with BrainON® in terms of promoting joyfulness and brain clarity benefits with no side effects. BrainON® improves health. It’s good for you!
PEA was found to be significantly lower in subjects with Attention Deficit Disorder. People taking BrainON® with Phenalmin report better attention at school and at work. BrainON is for anyone who wishes to balance mood and to increase concentration. One of our most beloved products, E3Live BrainOn® helps you to enjoyably function at a higher level.”
Wow.
Pretty cool, huh?!
Depression
My shipment of E3Live samples actually arrived while I was out of town at my 28-year-old cousin’s funeral. She was like a little sister to me. She lost her life on impact in a car accident. Not only that, she was one of 3 cousins I lost in just a matter of a couple of months. One of the other cousins I wasn’t close to, but one of them I was. I went to school with him and always felt closer to him than other relatives.
Words can’t express what a difficult, trying, stressful, devastating time it was to know that 3 young people (ages 28, 32, and 36) were no longer here on this beautiful earth – or in my family. No more cards, letters, hugs, or smiles.
Those of you who follow this blog regularly know that I’m all about inspiring, motivating, uplifting, and happy thoughts. So my intentions of sharing this with you is not to make you feel depressed, but to prove a point: Both BrainOn and E3Live’s Original Formula helped me tremendously through these hard times I’m telling you about. I know that I was able to find energy, strength, and mental clarity that would have been much harder to drudge up without chugging a shot of E3Live or BrainOn each day.
“I’ve had people who’ve been depressed for years and years, and literally, within a few days after receiving AFA their depression lifts.”
“A wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily.” — Dr. Gabriel Cousens,Director of Tree of Life of Life Rejuvenation Center
I did suffer depression after such family tragedy. Yes, Raw Juice Girl was depressed. I couldn’t sleep, fell off the 100% raw food wagon, ate the wrong foods… I was a mess! But I was able to bounce back a lot quicker because of BrainOn.
I also took a short break from freelance assignments but was able to come back full force and write even more than before. I’m convinced it’s mostly because of this company’s blue-green algae. Convinced.
What’s In BrainOn?
I know you’re wondering what exactly is in BrainOn to make it so fantabulous, right?
Nutritional information (from the site):
Supplement Facts: Protein <1g; Trans Fat 0g; Vitamin A 1890 IU 38% daily value; Vitamin K 34 mcg 43% daily value; Riboflavin 49 mcg 3% daily value; Vitamin B1 27 mcg 117% daily value.
Ingredients: Organic, fresh-frozen AFA (Aphanizomenon flos aquae) with BrainON®, a concentrated organic AFA extract of Phenylethylamine (PEA).
That’s some awesome nutrition for our brains!
Pros
I’d definitely agree with the brain enhancing, mood lifting powers of BrainOn. As I mentioned above, it helped me through some very troublesome times, and as you know, I’ve managed to continue writing with enthusiasm and mental clarity.
From the site:
- All the benefits of E3Live, plus:
- Increase focus and clarity
- Lift and brighten mood with the PEA, the “love molecule”
- Lower stress and enhance well-being
- Function at a higher level
- Shown to increase concentration
I do agree with this list provided on E3Live’s website because I felt the same benefits personally when I took the supplement.
Cons
As I mentioned in my E3Live review, the biggest two cons I can think of from purchasing BrainOn is cost and taste (for some of you). Those of you who follow me know that I can pretty much chug down anything without it phasing me because I’m used to drinking potent herbal tonics, strong herbal teas, and other natural remedies (like organic apple cider vinegar with Mother). But I realize not everyone is accustomed to the taste of green. I find E3Live and BrainOn actually taste mild, so you may not have a problem taking it straight up. If you do, simply add it to smoothies, juices, or other recipes to disguise the taste.
And about the cost… One of my readers mentioned finding a couple of friends to split the supplement and shipping cost with so you can enjoy this wonderful blue-green algae. I think that’s a great idea!
Other than those two issues, I honestly can’t imagine anything bad about enhancing your heath.
Tip: Preparing your daily dose for the upcoming week is quick and simple. I gave step-by-step instructions (with a photo) in my E3Live review.
Verdict/Grade
I know this is a costly supplement for a lot of people, but I can honestly tell you it is a worthwhile investment. If there’s a way you can readjust your budget and put your health before other expenses, I’d definitely recommend spending your money on this product.
For the results I’ve personally experienced from using BrainOn, I absolutely give it an A+ because I definitely came through (and out of) depressing, trying times much better than I would have on my own, without E3Live and BrainOn.
Have you ever tried BrainOn? Do you wish you could? Well, you can! E3Live has generously offered to sponsor a contest, allowing one reader to win 3 bottles of E3Live and 2 bottles of BrainOn, + a shaker cup—over a $200.oo value!!!
Contest is launching tonight, Sunday, November 8th. Get ready!!

Note: E3Live sent me samples, but I have not been paid to write this review. The thoughts I share in this post are my honest opinions.
Why E3Live?
As most of you know, I talked quite a bit about E3Live during my 30-day juice fast (and some afterward).
It wasn’t my intentions to “up and stop mentioning this fantabulous product” – I’ve just had a lot going on and got swamped with all the incoming packages and other freelance projects I’m obligated to.
There’s actually a story about me and E3Live….
A few years ago, I met a raw foodist. I was fascinated by this man. His skin was pure perfection. His hair was dark and shiny and luscious. His eyes were clear and bright. Totally amazing.
And, no, not that kind of fascination – he was married! I’m talking about just being mesmerized by the overall picture of perfect health. I still can’t get over it!
We talked about how he’d lost a significant amount of weight and improved his health dramatically, and how I’d done the same. While I was a LOT healthier than I used to be, I still didn’t have that pristine appearance he did, and I still wasn’t as healthy as I wanted to be. The difference? You’re thinking it was the raw food, right? Nope. I had been a 100% raw foodist off and on and was high-raw, even then. So, while raw food plays a HUGE role in my health improving, there was something more.
So… what was the difference in our health journeys? E3Live. Yep. That’s it. He was a dedicated E3Live customer; I wasn’t. Actually, I’d never heard of it until he introduced me to it that day.
There was another difference in us, though: He was able to spend money that I didn’t have. He was a successful business man and I was climbing my way out of financial ruins (due to barely surviving domestic violence and enduring so many health issues I wasn’t able to work).
And THAT’S why I was sooooooooooooo very honored to have the opportunity to receive samples of E3Live and BrainOn – what a blessing!
Now, on to the review of E3Live (BrainOn review will be next)….
About the Company
E3Live was founded in 1991, by President Michael Saiber. Dr. Ann Wigmore introduced him to the raw lifestyle over 30 years ago — he’s 67, but certainly doesn’t look it! (See, I’m telling you… it’s that LOOK of pristine health!)
President
Michael enjoys a variety of exercises. He’s huge on health and fitness, is a lecturer, and has a genuine heart for helping people – particularly those suffering from chronic illness and birth defects. He thrives on consuming the blue-green algae he’s so passionate about, and is known for truly “walking the talk.”
In a world filled with deceit and people who don’t practice what they preach, I’d say that’s quite the honorable man who lives what he says he does!
CEO, Owner
Tamera has over 20 years of business management experience and has had the amazing opportunity to work closely with Dr. Brian Clement (of Hippocrates Health Institute), Dr. Gabriel Cousens, and Dr. Fred Bisci, and others.
She also lectures and is the creator of some of the best-selling green health products out there. Well-known doctors and clinics use Tamera’s formulas. (How awesome is that?!)
Oh, and Tamera is 46 – and radiantly beautiful!
E3Live’s blue-green algae is harvested from Klamath Lake in Oregon:
“Upper Klamath Lake is free of adverse bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. The lake receives an average 300 days of sunlight per year which provides a perfect growing environment for the world’s richest strain of wild AFA blue-green algae, scientifically known as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. The alkaline lake water provides more than 60 times the nutrients needed for the algae to grow to its full potential each year. Under the right conditions, AFA algae can reproduce every 20 minutes, which provides a plentiful abundance of this organic, high life-force, miracle super food.”– www.E3Live.com
From my research and my experience with E3Live’s customer service, I have found them to be passionate and kind people who strive to not only represent themselves in a professional manner and create quality products, but they genuinely care about us wholeheartedly!
Read it out for yourself:
“Thanks to you, over $250,000 worth of products have been donated to clients and patients of our clients. The recipients of these donations have serious illnesses rendering their financial condition unable to purchase anything not covered by medical insurance. By supporting our products, you can help us continue this effort.” – www.E3Live.com
E3Live was mentioned in People Magazine!
E3Live
This blue-green algae is overflowing with goodies for our bodies to gobble up!
I love that the company is so dedicated to quality:
“We are very critical and selective when it comes to harvesting, filtering, testing and formulating all our products. Our harvesting and purity testing is of utmost importance to us. We not only meet, but exceed quality and safety standards for harvesting processes.”– www.E3Live.com
Pros
The pros of E3Live are endless, really. It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and all sorts of healthy goodies our bodies are crying out for.
From E3Live’s website:
- Increase endurance and stamina
- Lift and balance mood to reduce stress
- Increase mental focus and concentration
- Balance blood-sugar levels
- Speed up recovery time
- Restore overall biochemical balance (1)
- Enjoy long-lasting energy boost (2)

(1) Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Director, Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center
(2) Dr. Fred Bisci, nationally renowned health lecturer
Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids!

The caring people at www.E3Live.com didn’t forget – you can share the benefits with your furry friends!
E3Live is fantabulous for your PETS!! Pet lovers, I know you’re happy right now!!
Cons
The only cons I can find that you might not see as “Pros” are three things:
- The price. Now, while I absolutely believe in this product and have seen for myself how taking it daily enhanced my health, energized me, and just made me “feel better,” I do absolutely understand that $150 isn’t pocket change. And, honestly, I couldn’t have enjoyed its benefits if I hadn’t received samples to review. However, you DO get 5 bottles for that price. Because of having to make special shipping arrangements, the company has found that shipping 5 bottles in each box results in the best freshness and transport success.
- The taste. I’m personally used to the wonderful “green” taste health products often have. I’ve chugged potent herbal tonics, teas, and all sorts of concoctions. So, some of you may not like the taste. But the good news is… you can disguise it by tossing a serving into a smoothie or other recipe and enjoy its health benefits while your taste buds enjoy something yummy!
- The preparation. I freelance, so I’m at home, but I can understand someone who works outside the home a gazillion hours a week being afraid they might not have time to thaw and prepare the upcoming week’s servings. To ease your conscience, I’m sharing directions below to show you this isn’t really a con – you just might think it is…
How to Thaw E3Live Products
You don’t have to be nervous about how to thaw and consume E3Live. It only takes a few minutes to prepare your servings for the week.
- Simply take your bottle out of the freezer.
- Pop it in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
- Then pour 7 tablespoons of the melted liquid into a small jar or container with a lid.
- Put your bottle back in the freezer, and your small jar in the fridge for easy access during the week.
- That’s it!
See, I told you it’s easy!
How to Take E3Live
I personally just take a tablespoon straight up, but I’ve also added it to my green juice (as shown above) – especially during my 30-day juice fast.
You can also add it to smoothies or other recipes (think: raw fudge, etc.)
The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination and ingredients!
Verdict/Grade?
I’m sure after reading all this, you know I’m going to give E3Live an A+ grade. I have to, ya know? With such dedicated, caring people striving to help make the world a healthier place, only the highest grade applies. I give them extra points for donating their products to the less fortunate, who’d never be able to afford them. That speaks loudly of their character and what their business is all about. That, to me, shows they care more about us than they do about sales.
Thank you, E3Live, for being generous with samples – and with your heart!!
Have you ever taken E3Live supplements? What did you think of the taste? What kind of results did you have? Would you like to try it, but don’t have the extra money to? Stay tuned…
The Surprise?
After my review of BrainOn, E3Live is sponsoring a contest so one lucky winner can be rich with FIVE bottles of their awesome, blue-green algae (3 bottles of the original formula; 2 of BrainOn + a shaker cup—over a $200.oo value!!!). Get ready!!!
No yoga for me today. I listened to my body and I knew I should take a rest day, so I did. I can’t wait for my date with Polly in the morning, though! I wasn’t hungry when I first woke up. I didn’t feel like my usual warm lemon water, so I skipped that. I had a tall glass of plain water instead. After that, I had some herbal tea. When I finally got hungry, I didn’t know what I wanted! And guess what? I went crazy and had an organic Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries on top. Yeah, it isn’t raw but this is what I’m talking about when I say I sometimes craves a non-raw food, yet what I’m craving isn’t really junk food just because it isn’t raw. I’m still really close to 100% raw, really, but once in a while (once a day, once a week, once a month–whenever the urge hits), I have decided to treat myself to a non-raw (yet still healthy) food.
Oikos (Organic) Greek Yogurt
After my yummy-to-the-tummy Oikos Greek yogurt, I had my daily shot of E3 Live.
Snack/Lunch
Since I had a late breakfast (around 11 a.m., or so) I didn’t eat lunch at noon. Instead, I ended up having a snack around maybe 1 p.m.? I was a little hungry but not much, so I had a big banana with a spoon of raw honey. Yum! (No pic, sorry!)
Mid-Afternoon Snack
By this afternoon, I still wasn’t really craving anything–except chocolate! I realized I’d been craving chocolate all day, so I had me some! LOL Double the chocolate, double the fun, eh? I started with the totally delicious Amazing Grass Chocolate SuperFood bar. Yum-O! It has a thin layer of chocolate coating on the outside and nutty, green, chewy goodness on the inside. It’s healthy, tasty, and chocolate. What’s not to like? Seriously, I could eat one of these every single day! And they’re very dense and filling–AMAZING!
Amazing Grass Chocolate Bar
I decided to double up on my chocolate fix and had my other sample packet of Amazing Grass chocolate superfood powder, mixed with almond milk. Yum!
Amazing Chocolate Shake
(Just click on the photo below to read all about this yummy chocolate superfood powder! )
Dinner
It was most definitely time for some raw veggies, so I fixed myself a salad. And here’s the sad news: all of my camera batteries are dead and I’m having to charge them–so no salad pics tonight! Sorry! Use your imagination, though, and picture this:
a base of baby spinach leaves
with chopped Napa cabbage
chopped heirloom organic banana peppers (from my garden)
diced heirloom organic bell peppers (from my garden)
sliced heirloom organic beets (from my garden)
Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds
scattered fresh blueberries
Yummy to the tummy!

I’m still sticking with Polly’s yoga videos. I love her positive attitude and her style!
I went with Yoga for yummy abs again this morning. I’m going to see how switching things up goes for me. So far, I’ve tried the following of Polly’s videos: Yoga for low back, Yoga for yummy abs, and Yoga for newbies. I love ‘em all!
Let me tell you, although Polly’s yoga videos seem gentle and easy, I’m feeling the soreness, people! Sheesh, who knew?! LOL
I think I’ll take at least one day off each week to let my muscles rest. Maybe two? How many days each week do you practice yoga? Do you take a day or two off?
Breakfast
Anyway, after yoga with Polly, I decided to have a bowl full of frozen blueberries. I absolutely love frozen blueberries! They’re so tasty!
Frozen Blueberries
I drank some herbal tea after that (I didn’t make my warm lemon water this morning). I also had my daily shot of E3 Live.
Lunch
By lunch time, I was starving! My eyes were bigger than my appetite, though, when I made this ginormous salad. LOL
Giant Veggie Salad
Napa cabbage
Spinach leaves
Heirloom lettuce
Sliced celery
Sliced carrots
Sliced beets
Sliced tomato
Diced bell pepper
That was a huge salad and I was only able to eat about half of it. That’s okay, I’ll finish it off as a mid-afternoon snack, or as my dinner. It won’t go to waste!
Snack
I still have some more Amazing Grass products to sample (but couldn’t because I was juice fasting when they arrived) so I thought I’d try out the Chocolate Green SuperFood Drink Powder for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Oh. My. Goodness! It’s DELICIOUS!!!!
(Just click on the photo below to read all about this yummy chocolate superfood powder! )
Amazing Grass Shaker Cup
Added Organic Rice Milk
Added Chocolate SuperFood Powder
All Shook Up
Up Close
Non-Raw Milk?
No, the organic rice milk is NOT raw. I’m not a milk person, really. I have never been one to just guzzle milk–even before my raw food adventures. When I ate the S.A.D. diet, I only used milk on my cereal. I tend to shy away from processed cereals nowadays, so I pretty much don’t use milk at all–not even in my smoothies (I use herbal tea instead).
Anyway, although it will be pretty rare, I may decide to enjoy a treat once in a while that isn’t 100% raw. I’ll let you know when I do, like today with this organic rice milk.
I would have made a smoothie with the chocolate powder, a frozen banana, and some herbal tea but my blender died on me. So, I remembered Jenna saying she just added the Amazing Grass chocolate powder to her shaker cup with rice milk so I just went for it–I’m so glad I did! I’m telling you, it’s soooooooooooooooooo good!!! Yum!
Dinner
For dinner, I had the other half of my salad from lunch. And now I’m ready to call it a night. Can’t wait for yoga in the morning!!

I can’t believe this is day 3 of my yoga adventures and I’m still excited about it–I LOVE it!
This morning, I did the video called Yoga for Yummy Abs by Polly from Yoga is Yummy.
I did the cobra pose, too! Fantabulous, people!
I was hesitant to try a different video. I’m trying to be very careful with my (bad) back. But, while I could really feel the yoga poses and stretches burning and using my muscles, it was a good, warm burning and relaxing experience. I’m just madly in love with yoga!
After my date with yoga, I had breakfast:
Blueberry-Kiwi Salad
1 whole kiwi, peeled + sliced
handful frozen blueberries
Yum-O!
I also had some herbal tea and, of course, added a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar to one of my glasses of water.
About mid-morning, I had my daily shot….
E3 Live Brain On
I think the Brain On formula tastes just a little stronger (or a little different) than the original E3 Live I’ve tried but it’s definitely do-able for me. You could always disguise the taste (if it’s too strong–aka green–for you) in a smoothie or juice. I just take a tablespoon straight up. What? I love my greens–and I’m lovin’ how it makes me feel: clear-minded and mentally alert!
Juicy Ingredients!
4 small heirloom organic beets, with leaves (from my garden)
3 organic carrots
2 heirloom organic cucumbers (from my garden)
small apple
2 handfuls spinach
handful Alfalfa sprouts
1-inch piece of ginger
medium heirloom organic bell pepper (from my garden)
1 whole kiwi, peeled
Raw Beauty!
Juice Pulp
(Looks Like Confetti!)
Yummy Juices
Raw Lunch
1 celery stalk, cut up
1 carrot, cut up
shaker cup full of today’s juicy concoction
+ a scoop of berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder
(To learn more about this berry-licious superfood powder, click on the photo below! )
Snack
I had another carrot and another celery stalk (I was craving carrots and celery today! LOL)
And…. some of the juiciest, most delicious…
Organic Cherries
Dinner
I thought about having my other juice in the place of my dinner but then I had an overwhelming craving for the following spinach-based salad. I absolutely adore baby spinach leaves–they’re my favorite veggie! I love them raw, in juices, in smoothies, in salads… you get my point.
Oh-So-Good Salad
generous handful of baby spinach leaves
heirloom organic cucumber slices (from my garden)
generous handful of fresh blueberries
Manitoba Harvest hemp seeds (Yum!)
2 stalks heirloom organic okra, sliced
Have you ever eaten okra raw? It’s delicious! I’m serious! The above combo is absolutely YUM! What’s your favorite salad combo? Do share!

Wow, do I ever wish I could hit the rewind button and go back to yesterday morning!
Last night was simply atrocious. My arm kept swelling and throbbing and hurting and I didn’t get ANY sleep. None. Zilch. Zero. That makes for a VERY exhausted raw juice girl!
I finally gave in and got up at 5 a.m. That’s early for me, but there was absolutely no way I was going to be sleeping any time soon with all that pain.
I probably should have just laid in bed because not long after I got up, it started….
My tummy was turned inside-out! I started throwing up and couldn’t stop. Now, I’m no medical doctor, but guessing from how my body normally works, I’d say that my system must have been overloaded from all those red wasp stings and it made me sick, overall (I’ve never thrown up on a juice fast before, and I’ve done a 52-day juice fast!).
I can’t count how many times I threw up.
My Mom urged me to eat a couple of crackers to try to calm my tummy.
“But, Mom, this is day 29! Day 29!!! I only have the rest of today and tomorrow to complete my 30-day juice fast!!”
I was horrified by the thought of breaking my fast–and not the way I had planned on breaking it, at that!
Since I was way too sick to handle my daily warm lemon water, I tried sipping on a glass if ice-cold herbal tea. That helped a little. But, still, I kept throwing up.
I was really weak and in a LOT of pain from the swelling/throbbing of my arm where so many wasps stung in one area.
I hated to do it, folks, but I know my body. I know how far I can push myself. And I had reached my limit.
Broken
Breaking a juice fast is a very special event. When I decided to share this juice fast with you all, I had visions of sharing photos and details of my first raw meal after the fast. I planned on telling you why I chose raw fruit (because of all the enzymes that aid digestion) and why I didn’t choose vegetables (because they’re harder to digest when coming off a fast).
The fast wasn’t the only thing that was broken here: My heart and spirit were as well.
Cowboy girl Up
So, as my neighbor says: It was time to cowboy girl up and realize I’d reached my limits and that more importantly than stopping at the end of day 30, I should love my health enough to do what’s best for me at the time–and not worry about what the world would think of me for breaking the fast just a tad early.
So, I sucked up my pride (cowgirled up) and listened to mom: I nibbled on a couple of salty crackers. They were organic, but still….
I also nibbled on a piece of ginger.
“You look like death.” Mom said (thanks for the compliment, Mom! LOL). I took that as a cue to lay back down. My tummy finally settled down enough for me to get in a decent nap.
I knew I needed something but I didn’t really have the strength to drag out the juicer. Since I’d already nibbled on a couple of salty crackers (I’m still upset that I did this!!! ) I decided to make a green monster. Next best thing, right?
Amazing Green Monster
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
1 scoop berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder
1 big handful spinach
4 ice cubes
1/2 cup herbal tea
(This needed “something” so I added a tiny drizzle of raw honey–then it was perfect!
And it wasn’t as thick as I normally make my smoothies, so it was almost juice-like! )
A Monster Alright!
I had all my ingredients in the blender–and it wouldn’t start. Can you believe it?! Ugh. I was really tired and sick and not in the mood for a dead blender at all! I’m not one to waste, so I dumped the contents of the blender into the food processor and started it up. (Where there’s a will, eh?)
Red Wasp Stings
This photo doesn’t do my arm justice. Several stings were on the other side of my arm (not visible in this photo) and my arm was swollen double its normal size (or more!). Very painful. It felt like burning, heavy concrete that was about to explode and worse.
Since I didn’t get to share a raw meal that broke my fast, I’ll be writing a post with tips for breaking a juice fast, possible foods you could eat, and also share ideas for meals in the coming days after a fast.
What really gets me about this, is that I wasn’t hungry! I wasn’t even craving food and didn’t NEED to break the fast–even on day 30. I could have kept going.
I blame that yoga mat! LOL
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

Today (day 28 of this 30-day juice fast) started like any other day: by drinking warm lemon water.
Then my mind started wandering…
Yummy Yoga
I’ve mentioned recently that I have been researching yoga. Many of you have recommended I try it as a healing exercise for my bad back. So, I’ve been reading blog posts and articles about it and also watching videos.
Anyway, it dawned on me! I have a yoga mat in a box out in the shed! So, I went traipsing across the farm to get it. And then it happened: I opened the shed door, saw my yoga mat box, reached in to get it, and out of the blue was attacked by a swarm of the biggest, nastiest, meanest red wasps! Ouch!!!
Wicked Wasps!
I was stung several times on my arm, hand, neck, and leg. It was craziness! They were even all in my hair. I couldn’t believe it! You better believe I did a little (okay, a LOT) of screaming and dancing. (It’s okay if this mental picture makes you laugh.) It really was painful, though. Seriously!
I came in the house and when I told my Mom, she rushed me over to the neighbor’s house (he smokes) and he donated 2 cigarettes worth of tobacco. He put it in a bowl and added water and then my Mom put it on the places I’d been stung and held it there. My skin was already swelling bigtime, but the tobacco really helped shrink it quickly.
When we got back home, I poured myself a glass of herbal tea and added lemon. I needed a refreshing break!
Since it seemed like I was going to be okay, and the swelling had gone down considerably, we decided to go ahead and leave to run the errands we’d planned on pre-wasp attack.
I made myself an iced, herbal tea to-go (with lemon) and grabbed a to-go bottle filled with water and a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar and hit the road.
School Time?
And here’s the highlight of my day…
I was standing at the counter in a store with my mom and brother. And an older man walks over. He decided to make small talk: “So, are you gearing up for school to start?” He asks, enthusiastically.
I looked around to see if he was talking to me. No one else was there, so he must have asked me if I was getting ready for school. Huh?
“You mean me?” I asked, shocked.
“Yes, are you ready to go back to school?”
Okay, I’m thinking the wasp venom must have gone to my brain because I couldn’t fathom that this man was honestly asking me if I was preparing to go back to school!
“Sir, I’m almost 34 years old.” I smiled.
Total shock bombarded his face. “No, I don’t believe it!” He gasped.
Folks, I had to show him the birth date on my driver’s license!
“I thought you were 17 years old!” He said–after he was finally able to talk again.
“My daughter is an English teacher here. I thought she’d be teaching you.”
How funny is that?! LOL
“All I can say, girl, is that life has treated you well.” He said, shaking his head and smiling. (Could it be my diet and the raw juices and fasting????)
“Actually, I am a survivor of domestic violence. I barely escaped with my life. I’ve also been through many other things.”
But, yes, I am truly blessed.
And…. since I didn’t have photos of juices today, I’ll leave you with a few photos from my garden.
Heirloom Watermelon
Heirloom Cantaloupe
Heirloom Cucumber
(These are all doubling and tripling in size due to the rain the past few days!!) Eeeek!
I didn’t squeeze in my E3 Live or Amazing Grass powder today and I ended up just drinking water and herbal tea–it was too hectic and crazy!
Oh, and on the way home, we stopped and bought some chewing tobacco. Yep, how funny is that?! Know what kind? Long cut natural (next time I’ll get short cut!)
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

My back pain had eased up quite a bit by today: day 27 of my 30-day juice fast.
Bring on the warm lemon water!
Breakfast
I wasn’t feeling like drinking a bunch of juices today–I just didn’t crave them. I felt, instead, to just be. So I skipped the breakfast juice and had herbal tea.
Snack
My mid-morning snack consisted of E3 Live‘s Brain On (a tablespoon, straight up). I’m lovin’ how this stuff makes me feel refreshed and aLIVE!
I also had a glass of water with a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar.
Lunch
For lunch, I finished off the last of the heirloom lettuce concoction. It had a scoop of Amazing Grass Green SuperFood powder in it.
Heirloom Lettuce Juice + Amazing Grass
(Want to be AMAZED? Click on the photo below to learn all about this super powder!)
Dinner
I was totally content to sip more herbal tea, with lemon, for my dinner. (Sorry I didn’t take photos of my herbal tea–I didn’t even think about it!) Oops!
I really wasn’t hungry or craving juices today. That happens sometimes when I’m juice fasting–I just go for a day or two with no juice and go into a deeper level of fasting/cleansing. I love it!
And that’s it for day 27!
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

And here we are: day 26 of my 30-day juice fast!
This morning, I drank my warm lemon water. I wasn’t craving juice at all so I went with my feelings and skipped the breakfast juice.
I did have some water with organic apple cider vinegar.
Snack
I livened up my brain with E3 Live‘s Brain On (I took a tablespoon straight up)!
Lunch + Dinner
I had a TON of freshly cut heirloom lettuce from my garden to use up, so I thought I’d use it as the base for today’s juice.
Heirloom Lettuce Concoction
2 small cucumbers
1 medium tomato (from a friend’s garden)
3 strawberries
2 carrots
2 handfuls spinach leaves
5 big handfuls heirloom lettuce (from my garden)
1 green apple
5 stalks celery
a 1-inch piece of ginger root
Heirloom Rainbows!
Amazing (Grass) Green Goodness
(Made about 40 ounces: enough to fill up a 3-cup container + my Amazing Grass shaker cup)
I added a scoop of Amazing Grass Green SuperFood (Natural) powder. This juice tasted REALLY green, with a hint of spicy gingerness–and I LOVED it! I’m going to make it again!
(To learn more about this AMAZING green superfood–or to purchase your own–click on the photo below!)

Day 25… Sounds crazy, eh? It’s amazing to me that I’ve made it this far on this 30-day juice fast, considering that I’ve plowed right on through a broken juicer + my back going out on me and the pain zapping my strength.
I drank my warm lemon water first thing this morning.
Breakfast
I felt like having a cantaloupe juice with a scoop of berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder.
(Crave that amazing feeling? Click on the photo below to find out how you can!)
I saved you the agony of a photo of my cantaloupe juice because it was slimy (that’s never happened before!!) and the Amazing Grass powder clumped up and it was disgusting looking! I had to throw it out–and believe me, I can’t stand being wasteful!
Since my cantaloupe juice was out, I drank some of the beet concoction I made yesterday with a scoop of the berry flavored Amazing Grass powder.
Snack
I usually have my daily dose of E3 Live mid-morning, so when I looked in the fridge and noticed that my weekly portion of thawed E3 Live was used up, I decided to give the E3 Live Brain On a try. (I’ll be reviewing the E3 Live and E3 Live Brain On in upcoming posts–and there’s a contest coming for it, too!)
E3 Live, Brain On!
E3 Live has to be kept frozen to maintain its freshness. Each week (according to the directions), I take it out of the freezer and defrost it a little by sitting it in a bowl of hot water. After a few minutes, I pour a few tablespoons in a small glass jar and put the lid on and keep that in the fridge. It’s recommended to only keep about a week’s worth in the fridge at once. Keep the rest frozen. I prefer my E3 Live as a dose by itself–it really does make me feel alive! I can’t wait to see how/if this Brain On enhances my mental clarity and memory.
I also had some water with a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar in it.
Lunch + Dinner
I enjoyed some herbal tea with lemon and wasn’t hungry so I didn’t have a lunch juice. For dinner, I had another of my beet concoction juices and called it a day.
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

Like always, I drank my warm lemon water first thing this morning, day 24 of this 30-day juice fast.
Breakfast
I felt like having cucumber juice for breakfast. I added a scoop of berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder to it.Yum!
(To find out just how berry-licious this superfood powder is, click on the photo below!)
Amazing (Grass) Cucumber Juice
All Shook Up!
Snack
Mid-morning: After breakfast, I drank some herbal tea. I also had a shot of E3 Live and a glass of water with a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar.
Lunch + Dinner
I juiced some leftover cantaloupe so it wouldn’t go to waste.
Cool Cantaloupe
(Made about 3 cups. It was about 3/4 juice and 1/4 water.)
Heirloom Rainbow
1 big (heirloom) beet (from my garden)
several (heirloom) beet tops (from my garden)
heirloom lettuce (from my garden)
small (heirloom) bell pepper (from my garden)
4 organic carrots
huge bunch parsley
2 pieces ginger root (approx. 1 inch each)
5 celery stalks
Kinda Mucky Looking
The beet concoction made 3 cups. I diluted it 50/50 and ended up with 6 cups.
Ready to Drink!
Note to self: If I make this beet concoction again, I’ll remember that it included a LOT of lettuce and does NOT need to be diluted. It tasted very bland and just wasn’t fun to drink! (I added a splash of cantaloupe juice to jazz it up a little.)
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

Day 23 of my 30-day juice fast was another rough one with my back, so I didn’t even take any photos of my juices (Sorry! )
I did follow my normal “routine” of drinking warm lemon water as soon as I woke up….
Breakfast
I had some leftover watermelon juice from yesterday, so I drank that as my breakfast juice + I added a scoop of berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder.
(Want to feel AMAZING? Click on the following photo to learn how!)
Snack
My mid-morning snack was more watermelon juice (flushing my kidneys, yay!). I also drank some water with a tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar.
Lunch
I felt truly refreshed as I sipped cucumber juice at lunch time. And I had my daily shot of E3 Live, which truly makes me feel aLIVE!
Snack
For my mid-afternoon snack, I finished off the last of the Amish-grown cabbage concoction (recipe here).
Dinner
I ended day 23 with another refreshing glass of cucumber juice, which is absolutely one of my favorite juices in the world!
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

Day 22 of this 30-day juice fast started out with warm lemon water.
Breakfast
I had some leftover watermelon (from the 4th of July and my Dad’s birthday picnic) so I thought I should use it up and not let it go to waste. It was half of a watermelon, and I juiced the rind, seeds, and all.
Watermelon is soooooooooooo healthy for us! It contains the following vitamins: C, A, B6, B1. It also provides antioxidants, lycopene, magnesium, and potassium.
“Watermelon is not only great on a hot summer day, this delectable thirst-quencher may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis.”–WH Foods
Watermelon may also protect against macular degeneration. How cool and refreshing is that information??!!
Watermelon Tower
Watermelon Juice
I ended up with 6 cups of watermelon juice + enough to fill my Amazing Grass shaker cup, which I added a scoop of berry flavored Amazing Grass SuperFood powder to.
AMAZING (Grass) Watermelon
All Shook Up!
Yum!
(For more AMAZING information on this superfood powder, click on the photo below and read all about it!)
Snack
For a snack, I had my daily shot of E3 Live and a glass of water with organic apple cider vinegar.
Lunch
I enjoyed a(nother!) yummy glass of watermelon juice for lunch… I added a scoop of the berry flavored Amazing Grass powder for some extra oomph.
I also had a lot of cucumbers to use up so cucumber juice, it was! I (for some crazy reason) forgot to count how many cucumbers I used for this juice recipe. (I’m thinking maybe it was 5-7 of ‘em???)
Cucumbers are good for you:
“The flesh of cucumbers is primarily composed of water but also contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and caffeic acid, both of which help soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling. Cucumbers’hard skin is rich in fiber and contains a variety of beneficial minerals including silica, potassium and magnesium.”–WH Foods
Besides those yummy benefits, cucumbers are great for your skin, (may) help lower your blood pressure, and contain vitamins C, A, and folate and fiber. They also provide tryptophan–and they taste sooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious when they’re juiced!
Cucumber juicing tip:
When juicing cucumbers, you’ll want to remove the peel IF you’ve bought non-organic cucumbers that have been waxed. If they’re organic, leave that peel on–it’s very beneficial!
Juicy Cucumbers
Bubbling Juice
A(LIVE) Cucumber Juice
I ended up with 3 cups of cucumber juice + my E3 Live shaker cup full, which I enjoyed as an afternoon snack. Delish!
Dinner
A refreshing watermelon juice ended day 22 for me. SO tasty! And I enjoyed it with some fresh air, outside.
Watermelon Juice
What a great day 22 was, eh?
Until tomorrow… happy juicing!
