I have to agree w/ocr on the juice. I see so many parents giving kids juice all day long thinking it’s healthy and better than sodas. But juice is lacking fiber and it’s fruit broken down to sugar, basically. People swarm Jamba Juice thinking they’re healthy by having smoothies. Sugar is addicting, whether carbs or juice. That’s what makes it hard to give up.
I do eat fruit, whatever is in season, apples, blueberries, apricots. But I rarely have juice. I might go for a Green Machine once in a while. That’s not all fruit juice. Last weekend I went to Ki’s and had a Super Mix w/beet, carrot, celery, spinach juice. Wasn’t the tastiest, sweetest thing to touch my tongue. Washed it down w/some wheatgrass. I really had energy the rest of the day.
Once your body is purified, it really uses and absorbs nutrients. But as I said, it’s not fun. My husband eats ice cream and I eat an apricot. {sigh}
