let the juicing begin.

today is the last day before juicing begins. that means: last day to eat, last day to chew, and for me, last day to cook, for five whole days. karissa & i (my friend who's doing it with me) have been talking this cleanse up so that we get more excited about it every day we get a bit closer. this definitely is an experience & something that we are excited to do, as well as try out new recipes & report back to you lovely followers. 

we purchased inexpensive 12 ounce bottles at the grocery store to use for our juices. we chose tejava since the bottles are glass, they can be ran through the dish washer, and we like black tea. i emptied them out, took off the labels & ran them through the dishwasher so that we're prepared for the juicing extraordinaire. 

yesterday was our shopping day. that sentence sounds easy & unoriginal, right? well not when you go to the grocery store with the shopping list we had. 200+ carrots & 100+ apples is just the beginning of how silly we looked. we got through it & about 45 minutes later we had a car full of carrots, apples & massive amounts of kale.  today, being the last day of food for five days, is also the day we need to prepare for tomorrow's juicetacular drink supply. since tomorrow's scheduled juices are rise & shine (2), green machine (2) & pearfect (2), we grabbed kale, cucumbers, oranges, apples, ginger, romaine, pears, & spinach to begin this. check out my little 'juice corner' in my kitchen for the next five days.


once we started juicing, we began to get more excited & before we knew it, we had 12 juice filled bottles ready for monday funday. tomorrow, we'll catalog our mood, hunger levels, overall life, flavor & anything else that is interesting or just needs to be shared. 

until then have a lovely sunday :D
