As many of you know NYC is on a severe hurricane watch. We're told to go out and buy water, nonperishable foods and batteries. I began to panic thinking about how I'd get my fresh veggies so I could juice! I thought to myself well if I HAVE to eat non fresh it's because nature made it so. Then I began thinking about people all over the world who live in this state DAILY. NO access to fresh produce, ever. And, if they do it's extremely pricey.
I began to feel blessed. Blessed that I have a choice to put the right things in my mouth and not have to eat just one bowl of rice and maybe a potato or tomato when I can. Blessed be the bountiful amount available to me on every corner. Apples, oranges, avocados, kale, carrots, you name it.
I become afraid of other "foods" burgers, pizza, bagels, crackers.. all the social tasty foods. Fear that it will poison my body. Fear that it will make me fat(ter). BUt mostly the fear that they will always have a hold over me.
I've decided to start listing everything that I'm eating so people can see just how much effort I'm putting into this life altering change.
Breakfast Juice
2 carrots, 1 apple,1 cup spinach, broccoli, 5 kale leaves, ginger, lemon, cucumber, fennel and sunflower sprouts
Lunch
Kale, spinach, romaine, pumpkin seeds, sprouts, 1/2 avocado and dressing made from almond butter, lemon, peppers and lemon juice
Dinner
Carrot/ginger soup made with sea salt, avocado, ginger and carrots (served cold)
In between are "Green Drinks" which are vegetable powder superfood drinks (will be doing reviews soon) as well as lemon water in the morning and evening. Sometimes I'll have a second juice if I'm particularly hungry or tired.
