Comments are now closed as this contest is over. Thanks!

First, I’d love to thank the folks at Amazing Grass for sending me lovely samples. Not only did they generously share a variety of their Amazing Grass products with me, they are also sponsoring this contest so that one lucky winner will have the opportunity to try a “Green SuperFood Best of Both Combo” which provides you with a two month supply of  the Amazing Grass Green SuperFood and Chocolate Green SuperFood drink powders.

AND Amazing Grass has given Healing With (Raw) Juice readers a fantabulous discount: Just use the coupon code ‘hwj’ at check out — you’ll save 15% off your order!!!

Chocolate Green SuperFood

I’ve mentioned before that you can just call me Chocolate Girl. I’m a HUGE fan of chocolate, always have been! So, what is there NOT to like about a chocolate powder that’s also healthy for you, that you can add to smoothies, oats, or other recipes? Chocolate Green SuperFood is a fantabulous way to get your daily dose of chocolate – and consume a powerhouse of nutrition!

Now, this Chocolate Green SuperFood wasn’t included in the samples Amazing Grass sent me, but I have had the opportunity to sample their Chocolate Amazing Meal – it’s DELISH! I absolutely loved it and can totally see myself using it daily. (See my review HERE.)  So, I have absolutely no worries about recommending this Chocolate Green SuperFood powder. But, this Chocolate Green SuperFood powder has more to offer than a girl’s best friend – let’s talk nutrition! :-D

Nutritional information (from the site):

Mix a tablespoon of Chocolate Green SuperFood with dairy, rice or soy milk or add it to a smoothie. One serving gives you the antioxidant equivalent of 7 servings of fruits and vegetables and helps you hit your daily quota.

Chocolate Green SuperFood: All natural and organic ingredients include organic wheat grass, organic barley grass, organic alfalfa, organic spirulina, organic spinach, organic chlorella (cracked cell-wall), organic broccoli, organic dutch cocoa, organic redwood cocoa, organic cacao, natural chocolate flavoring, organic acai from Sambazon, organic maca, organic carrot, organic beet, raspberry, organic rose hips, pineapple, green tea, acerola cherry, organic flax seed powder, organic oat fiber, apple pectin fiber, F.O.S.

Green SuperFood

I have enjoyed this All Natural Green SuperFood powder. I’ve used it in smoothies and juices and love, love, love the taste of health it provides! I also love my Amazing Grass shaker cup. I use it all the time!

Want to increase your daily intake of veggies and fruits, but aren’t loving the idea of gobbling ‘em up raw until your jaws are exhausted from chewing? Why not whip up a smoothie or juice and toss some Amazing Grass SuperFood powder in? You’ll be pretty amazed at how much nutrition you can squeeze into a glass with this stuff. Seriously!!

I had a scoop of the All Natural Amazing Grass SuperFood powder in my green smoothie this morning – I just LOVE how it makes me feel!!!

8 October 2009

I slept really well again last night. I woke up this morning feeling very refreshed and thinking about everything on my to-do list. I hopped up and put the tea kettle on for my warm lemon water, which I had about an hour before my breakfast juice.

Breakfast

For day 16 of this 30-day juice fast, I had a pineapple needing to be used up so that’s what I juiced for breakfast.

Pineapple, Chopped

100% Pineapple Juice

Pineapple Popsicles!

pineapple-pops-juice-day-16

I had enough pineapple juice to fill up my Amazing Grass cup, my E3 Live cup (love both of ‘em!) and also make pineapple pops for snacks. Oh, and there was still a little dab in the juicing machine cup and I drank it straight up! ;-)

About mid-morning, I also had a glass of water with organic apple cider vinegar.

E3 Live

(My morning shot of E3 Live green goodness!)

e3-live-day-16

Lunch & Dinner

As the day progressed, I really felt just blah and exhausted. I have been expecting a day like this, honestly. I’ve had several fantabulous, high-energy days and I knew one of these “off days” would hit soon. I could really feel my body go into a deeper level of healing/cleansing today. Whew! What a day!

Since I wasn’t feeling all that great, I decided to juice my dinner at lunch time so I wouldn’t have to drag out the juicer and clean it all up again later this evening. So that’s what I did. I compiled the following ingredients, doubling them so I’d end up with enough juice…

Juicy Concoction

lunch-dinner-day-16

1 whole cucumber, peeled (because it wasn’t organic)

2 apples, whole

3 small beets

3 ounces alfalfa sprouts

2 – 1-inch ginger pieces (peel and all)

whole lemon (peel and all)

14 (heirloom, organic) Rainbow Chard leaves (from my garden)

15 (heirloom, organic) beet leaves (from my garden)

Psychedelic Swirls

juice-concoction-day-16

Raw Beauty

juicy-concoction-day-16

This juice was SO DELICIOUS! I love my beet juice!! And the ginger came through in each taste so nicely. LOVED it!!! :-)

This afternoon, I enjoyed one of the pineapple popsicles I made. I enjoyed the fresh air while I was at it.

Snack: Pineapple Pop

New Books for Review/Contest!

dr-bruce-fife

And guess what came in the mail the other day: books by Dr. Bruce Fife!!! I’m really excited about this. Dr. Fife was impressed by my interest in natural medicine, particularly oil pulling and he also wanted me to review his coconut water book. And that means an upcoming contests because he sent one of each for me and one of each to give away!!! Yay!!! Thanks so much, Dr. Fife!! We appreciate it!! :-)

As soon as I’ve had time to thoroughly read each book, I’ll post an honest, complete review of each and host a contest for each book (probably as a combo gift set).

And, of course, I had a glass of my lunch juice for dinner and loved every single sip. Beets have superpowers, in my opinion! :-)

Today was still a good day, even though I didn’t feel all that great. I know this because I have to take the bad with the good and realize that my body is doing what it needs to do to cleanse, heal, and rejuvenate.

Tomorrow is day 17! Totally crazy! See you tomorrow evening for a recap of tomorrow’s juicy events! :-)

Until tomorrow… happy juicing!

1 July 2009

This has been the BEST day!! I slept wonderfully last night. Just fantabulous!! :-)

I don’t have a huge report with photos today because I honestly only had one cup of juice all day long. It wasn’t intentional. It just happened.

I started the day with warm lemon water, like always. And then about an hour later (I just wasn’t craving a juice!) I had the last of my defrosted pinapple-strawberry juice. I added ice and the berry flavored Amazing Grass Green SuperFood powder (just click on the photo below to learn more). It was delicious and really gave me a ton of energy. I’m telling you, people, I’ve always been pretty hesitant about green powders but I’m SOLD on this stuff. I LOVE it! (Thank you Amazing Grass team!!!)

After that morning pineapple-strawberry juice with Amazing Grass powder, I made up a bottle of water with  organic apple cider vinegar and headed over to a neighbor’s house. (I was invited over for just a fun day of singing, etc.) I ended up staying longer than I originally intended. I didn’t take any juice with me because I only planned on staying for 2-3 hours and stayed double that.

I didn’t feel weak or tired or anything. I drank plenty of water and herbal tea with lemon and felt great today. We all sang, laughed, (the others ate) and had such a fun time. The weather was beautiful with a breeze and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was perfect!!

I do sometimes take 1-3 days during a long juice fast where I only drink water anyways so this pretty much juiceless day is nothing out of the ordinary for me.

But if you’re planning a juice fast and end up deciding to leave the house and there might be a chance you’ll be gone for longer than you intended, take a couple of juices with you (frozen ahead of time, if you wish–they can defrost while you’re out for the day). I could have done that (I have some in the freezer) but I just honestly didn’t expect to stay as long as I did. If I had ended up feeling weak or faint, I’d be concerned but I felt great all day and am extremely happy with how day 13 went! :-)

28 June 2009

Happy Father’s Day!

First, I want to say I’m so thankful for a great Dad!! And I’d like to wish all those great dad’s out there a very blessed, safe, and HAPPY Father’s Day!! Also, if you’re a single Mom, today’s your day too–kudos to you for being both parents!!! :-)

And… for those of you who don’t have a Dad today, my heart aches for you, you’re in my heart and prayers!!

Details

Day 6 of this 30-day juice fast has been another fantabulous day! I’m sooooooooo excited. I love days like this when everything seems so “right”, mind, body, and soul: I’ve felt energetic, am not hungry at all, and I’ve felt so much mental clarity/sharpness today!! :-)

Breakfast/Snack

Again, I started my day off with lemon water (recipe here) and then reached for a carrot-spinach-sprout juice. I was still craving more juice (and feeling just a tad bit tired) so I had some of the “brown” juice–which is only brown due to the beets mixing with the greens.

I then had water with organic apple cider vinegar. A little later, I had a glass of herbal tea with lemon.

Almost forgot! I had my daily tablespoon of E3 Live (straight up).

Juice Fasting on a Holiday

This is where sacrifice comes in. It isn’t always easy to fast or juice fast right on through holidays or special occasions. July 4th is also coming up–I know I’ll be juice fasting through that event as well. So, while my family enjoyed this…

Father’s Day Meal

(Salmon cake, cooked (mixed) greens, corn on the cob with sea salt)

fathers-day-meal

(The greens: turnip greens, heirloom rainbow chard, heirloom beet greens)

Dessert

(Mandarin orange cake with crushed pineapple frosting)

mandarin-orange-cake-fathers-day

My Lunch

(Of course, I’ve had the above meal–and dessert– before, so I know how delicious it is. I kept to my juice fasting regimen and enjoyed a green juice with Amazing Grass Wheat Grass.)

green-juice-with-amazing-grass-wheat-grass-powder

Yum-O!


Amazing Grass

Let me just say, I know why the company named themselves: Amazing Grass–this Wheat Grass of theirs is truly AMAZING! I loooooooooooove how it makes me feel. I definitely (highly!) recommend it. I love the packets because you could carry them in your purse (or pocket for those who don’t carry purses, and for the guys) and pop it in water, a smoothie, or juice wherever you are.

Snack

No snack juice today–the Wheat Grass packet in my green juice is really keeping me happy. I’ve had more herbal tea and water (of course).

Dinner

For dinner, I’m planning either a brown or a green juice. Haven’t decided yet. I love them both! Decisions, decisions. ;-) I’ll update when I decide.

Is it the Juice Fast???

So far today, TWO people have told me I look SIXTEEN! Is it the juice fast?

21 June 2009

Day 4 of this 3o-day juice fast has been crazy! I definitely feel the detox–big time. I’ve had a major headache most of today, have felt very emotional, and have really felt tired. That’s all normal for me. Emotional days slip up here and there while juice fasting (for some people) because of the body detoxing.

There is good news, though, so keep reading! :-)

Breakfast

I had my usual cup of hot lemon water.  About half an hour or so later, I decided to have a green juice–with a packet of Amazing Grass Wheat Grass powder.

Amazing/Wheat Grass Juice

amazing-grass-organic-wheat-grass-green-juice

In goes the packet

amazing-grass-wheatgrass-green-juice

All shook up!

amazing-grass-wheat-grass-mixed-with-green-juice

Lovin’ my shaker cup!

amazing-grass-shaker-cup-wheatgrass

I’ll be honest, I totally expected the wheat grass powder to knock my socks off. In other words, I prepared to pucker! LOL But, that didn’t happen. It really didn’t taste bad!!! I was shocked–and happy! I waited to see how I felt and I totally could feel the difference. It was like a burst of energy–and I really needed that today. Kudos to Amazing Grass for making health taste great! :-)

After this, I also had a tall glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. And then I had a glass of herbal tea.

Then something truly AMAZING happened! I had forgotten about a Jack LaLanne Juicer I had stored in the basement. (How on EARTH could I forget something like that??!!) Well, this is one of the juicers I thought had burnt out. If I remember correctly, it even smoked! Yes! So instead of throwing it away, I boxed it up and hoped it’d work again someday–then I moved to this Amish farm and forgot about it. It was like Christmas today–seriously! I washed this baby up and plugged her in–praying the whole time she’d crank–and she started humming a juicy tune!!! Yippeee!!!! Oh, this juice girl is ecstatic, let me tell ya! :-)

Now, I’m praying it holds up to the finish line of this 30-day juice fast!

Juicer Heaven

juicer-blogging-juice-fast

I didn’t waste any time at all. That juicer was eating an apple before you could blink!

Whole, organic apple

whole-apple-organic-juicing

Washed and ready to go!

organic-apples-30-day-juice-fast

Organic Apple Juice Recipe

7 organic apples tossed into the juicer

I poured it into a container and ended up with 2/3 apple juice.

I added 1/3 water (to dilute)

Made 2 quarts…


and an extra glass for me (lunch)! :-)

organic-apple-juice-100

On a Roll

I didn’t want to stop! I decided to juice up some stuff I had in the fridge. Carrot-spinach juice is my all-time favorite. I decided to mix it up this time and add alfalfa sprouts.

Washed and Ready!

carrot-spinach-juice-sprouts

MMmmmmmm

carrot-spinach-juice-organic

Carrot-Spinach-Sprout Juice

7 big carrots

9 ounce bag spinach leaves

2 ounces sprouts

When I poured it into the freezer container, I had 2/3 juice.

I added 1/3 water to dilute.

Made 3 cups

3-cups-carrot-spinach-juice-with-sprouts1

Totally Forgot!

I discovered in my notes from day 1 when I juiced a bunch, that I had forgot to mention I had leftover veggies (I stored 2 zip lock bags full) because the juicer burnt out and I got tired of blending.

So… here’s what was left over:

  • 2 ounces alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 celery stalk
  • 6 kale leaves
  • some chopped cabbage

That went into the juicer

kale-cabbage-sprouts

Along with…

2 more ounces alfalfa sprouts

1 big head cabbage

1 cucumber

Big bunch mustard greens

1 bundle celery

2 (beautiful) heirloom, organic beets (with leaves) (from my garden)

Look at all that raw goodness!

juicing-in-bulk

Before I started this batch, I decided to run out to the garden and grab some rainbow chard and lettuce leaves…

Organic Rainbow Chard

I’m so excited because this is the first time I’ve juice rainbow chard! Even Raw Juice Girl needs to try new things! I wasn’t sure about it, actually so I asked around on Twitter.

Here was my tweet:
[asks] who juices rainbow chard? Anyone? Do you eat it raw? Juice it raw? Add it to smoothies? RTs and replies are much appreciated. :-)

@rawliving (aka Earth Mother) gave me permission to use her tweet response:

rawliving@RawJuiceGirl I do I do! (raises hand) I juice rainbow chard and use it in GREEN smoothies. Yum!

Thanks, @rawliving–you helped make my juices brighter and healthier! :-)

Note: Be sure to stop by @rawliving’s raw food blog: In the Raw


(Isn’t it beautiful???!!!)

This juice turned out brown. LOL It doesn’t taste bad, though. It’s just that the beets mixed with the other greens and made this mucky color–that’s okay to me! I’m just happy to be truly juicing again. Woo hoo!

Oh, and that tall glass of yummy juice on the left end of the photo was my dinner–delish!
