Green beans. DULSE! Green Star Juicer.
Juiced again this morning. What a surprise! Flowering Kale, beet greens, carrots, celery, red onion, parsley, ginger, garlic, broccoli, and green beans... I've never juiced green beans before... Very good. They added a nice mild flavor. Took out a little of that "knock ya' on your butt" effect my juice tends to have... He he. I skipped on the spinach, and green onion today.
Breakfast was a diced avocado mixed w/a tin of sardines, seasoned with lemon juice, Bragg's, dill, granulated garlic, turmeric, mustard, and a Tbsp. of dulse. Dulse is a dried and flaked sea vegetable similar to kelp I suppose... It's a rusty red color, and has a bit of an oceany/salty taste... It's very good and contains well over 100% of your daily iodine as well as many other natural sea minerals. Low in actual sodium despite it's wonderful taste too. I love it. Going to try and use a Tbsp. Every day or two. Don't want too much iodine... It is neutral for A's, AB's, and B's. Benneficial for O's. Good stuff for thyroid maintenance. Fantastic. Had a pluot afterward. Last one.
Got my hair cut and grabbed a few groceries. WhiteWind Tempeh W/sea vegetables, a loaf of Ezekiel Bread, (been a long time since I've eaten any grains...) Two boxes of Arrowhead Mills Amaranth Flour, Red Sun Nutritional yeast (never tried it, Paul B. inspired me), organic eggs, and a few more avocados... Big bag of frozen blueberries too.
Going to have another shot of the juice in a bit here (enjoying a large mug of Celestial Seasons Honey/Lemon/Ginseng green tea). Lunch afterward will be another small avocado, a third block of the above mentioned tempeh, and a big handful of mutant cherries. I normally try to limit avocados to one a day, if that. This one is WAY too ripe though... So there...
Dinner will be late, after work... Probably just steam some veggies, and have a glass of wine and some frozen blueberries... I'll let ya' know.
To answer a Q:
I have a Green Star juicer... They used to call them Green Power juicers. Mine is the updated model w/all the attachments. Cost about $440 after shipping etc. I've seen them go for $600. Pretty spendy... Especially for a guy like me... I'd do it again in a second though... Google it, read about it... Buy one. Ha ha. I sound like a commercial...
Later gang!
