Sunshiney Morning JuiceV

Sunshiney Morning Juicey by RawfullyBlessed

Good Morning to all. Hope your juicing journey is going well. Waking up to freshly juiced orange juice is the best. This juice will get you up and started. I juiced the oranges quickly with my little cuisinart and then added the pineapple with it in the vitamix. Enjoy! I brushed my teeth before I drank this. I don't recommend doing that. It is a little tart that way. But brush after. Have a Blessed day. Here's the recipe:

Sunshiney Morning Juicey:

1 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges)

1/4 cup frozen pineapple or more

Blend and enjoy.

Fruit Flies Today

Oh my goodness!!! FRUIT FLIES. Apparently something is a little too ripe. If you have fruit flies too, here is the remedy
Water pan fun, 1 quart probably
few drops of any dish washing liquid
vinegar
a sweetener, sugar
The flies will come a running and drown. Get rid of the mixture and the fruit flies.
Don't forget to get ripe of any bruised or damaged fruit that attracted the flies in the first place.
Cut and freeze fruit that is too ripe or refrigerate it to keep is a little longer if your not able to utilize it then

Pearish Grape Smoothie

Pearish Grape Smoothie by RawfullyBlessed

I had some pears, that were too ripe to juice. So decided to blend them with red grapes for a little twist.

Be aware, because the pears aren't juiced, it will be a little gritty. It your not using a vitamix, probably a lot gritty. But I encourage you to give it a try. It make to small mason jars, so I did drizzle some raw honey to the rest to make it sweeter. If you like eating raw whole pears, you love this number. Definitely different.

Pearish Grape Smoothie:

3 ripe pears, no core and peeled

2 cups washed fresh seedless grapes

8-9 oz of organic coconut water

Blend and enjoy

*drizzle with raw honey if desired for sweeter treat.

Just got in and sore from yesterday's dance session. I wish I was in shape like I was for my cheer and swim team days. lol.
Dear Abdominals,
I knew you were in there somewhere. Welcome back!
Love,
Me

Purple Passion Smoothie

Purple Passion Smoothie by RawfullyBlessed

You can use the purple passion I just posted as a base and use a blender and add the following:

Purple Passion Smoothie

1 1/2 cup  or less of purple passion juice 

1/4 cup frozen pineapple

1 fresh banana

about 1/2 to 1 cup vanilla almond milk
Oh and 1 tbs of raw honey.

Blend. This is a lot milder a sooooo good.

Severe Purple Passion

Severe Purple Passion by RawfullyBlessed

This juice is not for the fate of heart. Better for you to drink this on a empty stomach. This will likely clean your liver and you out. This is a whole beet. If this is a first time for you, you might want to use less beet. I have read that beets are good for cleaning and building up your blood. They are good for your liver and all kinds of things. This is a juice and you will need a juicer. Enjoy !

Severe Purple Passion:

1 beet, peeled 

2 pink lady apples, no core

1/2 big cucumber

1 cup fresh red seedless grapes

Have a dreamy day.

Berrycumber Juicey

Berrycumber Juicey by RawfullyBlessed

Day Three Pick-Me-Up:

I needed a little pick-me-up this morning. I drank some before I decided to take the picture. SORRY.

This is a real good for you drink. Berries and grapes are always full of good things to help your skin. 

Use the juicer, and pack the chute. Also don't forget to wash them before you juice. If you can wait that long. I tend to eat my way to a juice. :). Also, I am in a habit of peeling my celery, because my kids eat it better when it is not so stringy. I don't know if it makes a difference, so I thought I would let you know. When my kids smell the produce being cut, they are there for some before I can get it juiced. 

Here is my recipe. Enjoy!

Berrycumber Juicey:

1 cup strawberries

1 cup blueberries

1 cup grapes

3-4 stalks of celery

1  big cucumber

Juice it Baby!!!

water

This is my first order of business. My first thing of water. This is 28 oz. of water, Either filtered or good old well water. I drink about 3 of these a day. Cheers!

Banapple

Banapple Smoothie by Rawfully Blessed

Day Two Smoothie One:

Banapple Smoothie

(1 1/2) fresh Bananas, I ate the other half (Oops)

1 pink lady apple, peeled and cut (not cores ever)

1/2 cup or enough unsweetened Almond milk to make the smoothie

Blended in my Vitamix..............Taste like Banana Pudding. YUMMMMMM!

Losing It

Down 5.2 lbs in 24 hours. Having my first juice, a mono meal. Fresh orange juice in my little Cuisinart juicer. I don't generally have something when I first wake up, because it makes me sick. So I wait a bit.  Praying for a great day.

Carrotalope Juice

Carrotalope Juice by RawfullyBlessed

Day One, a really good juice.
Carrotalope Juice:
I juiced about 10 organic carrots, peeled. (These were not huge). Peel and it will not taste "rooty".
1 small cantaloupe, no rind or seeds for me. Minus 1 wedge that my kid took to eat.
Viola!!! Delicious sweet juice.

Starting my Journey

I am starting a Juice Feast today, that will include smoothies too. I will try and post what I am having, but not always. I have a busy family life. I am doing this blog to use this to inform and also hold myself accountable. That will keep me on track. My goal is to lose about a 100 lbs. I am looking forward to the transformation.
