Beets

To not get bored of juicing I’m being open minded to different veggies and fruits. This is similar to what happened after I had gastric bypass surgery. Trying new foods will help keep me away from “bad foods” or in this case food all together.

Today I tried a beet juice cocktail. (Pinned here http://pinterest.com/pin/38702878020458189/). This is also a detox juice mix. I’m not sure what might happen to me.  I’m sure that there are so many toxins in my system still I might just explode. We’ll see.

On the upside I’m feeling much better than I was a few days ago. Today is the halfway point of my juice fast… Day 5 of my 10 day challenge.

Back to beets. Beets are an interesting root. It is very “earthy” aka.. It tastes like dirt. I mixed my beet as the recipe said; with carrots, apple and ginger… yeah all I taste is dirt. The other interesting fact about beets, when you chop into a beet it makes a mess... a mess that looks like you have committed mass murder… beets are very “juicy” aka bloody. It is slightly unnerving.

I am glad I only bought two beets…
