Right, we went to the market today, got the produce..........
AND we've got a juicer that David got as a late B-day pressie from someone (perfect timing, eh!?) and are commencing our Juice Feast journey tomorrow (Sunday)!!!
a gorgeous pumpkin, apple, carrot and pear juice
We have even designed a Daily Personal Tracker sheet, as the one from the juice feasting website, although very good, had some irrelevant info to us and the layout wasn't as we liked it...... soo, we designed our on ;)
I'm gunna put it up on here so that anyone can download it for free to help them on their juicy journey ;)
And Oh My Goodnessss!!! What synchronisities we had today!!!!!
First of all, we went to a flea market in town to look for scales to weigh ourselves tomorrow for our 'Before Juice Feast data' :)..
And we came out with a TWIN GEAR juicer and scales for 9CH (=around $9/€5)!!!!!!!! (juicer=8CH and scales were 1CH!)
And it WORKS brilliantly, albeit I do have to starin the juice a little through the nut milk bag as it's abit pulpy, but it juices greens and the like like a dream!!!!!! XD It's called Green Life, and it's basically an older version of Green Star!
WOW! We are soo blessed XD
Now we really are fully equipted! :)
So, for a minimum of 3 days for 3 people, here is what we bought on the market today:
(all organically grown)
-10 heads of Romain lettuce (4,50CH/kg): 12CH
-6 large heads celery (6CH/kg): 30CH (ouch!)
-54 apples (3,50CH/kg): 20CH
-5 cucumbers: 6CH
-1kg spinach (6CH/kg) : 6CH
-1 squash/yam (don't know which one it is ;) (2CH/kg): 5CH
-2,5kg lemons: 12,50CH
-2kg carrots (1,90CH/kg): 3,80CH
Total: 83,9CH
So, using this info and assuming this produce lasts for 3 days of juicing for 3 people,
for 1 day of juicing for 3 people would be around 27CH, and for 1 day of juicing for 1 person would be around 9CH! Pretty damn good value I say!!!!! Wow, and imagine, most poeple spend 10CH MIN just on dinner!!!
Tomorrow, we're gunna put up all of our 'Before Stats', such as weight and our before pictures!!! :))))))))))))))
Yay to Green Juice! ;)...
and Yay! to our last day of solids for a while ;).......
