Fully equipted and starting tomorrow!

Hello!!!

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 ;).......

Pre-juice Feast Juice Day :)

Hey!
Well, today I got up quite late (9:30, I like getting up at 6-7am usually :) and my mum and flatmate had already left for work, and I thought "Right, I'm starting the Juice Feast today!"

As we havn't got the juicers yet, I decided to do my juices with my VitaMix and nut milk bags for today.

So, I hopped off to the market to pick up some delicious produce to juice.
Here what I got (prices are in Suisse Francs):
... ALL ORGANICALLY GROWN (except watermelon)

-1,060kg of romaine lettuce = 2 big heads (costs 4,50CH/kg): 4,75CH
-1,545kg of carrots (3CH/kg): 4,65CH
-0,875kg of fennel = 2 bulbs (5,50CH/kg): 4,80CH
-1,065kg of spinach =1 giant bag! (8CH/kg): 8,50CH
-2 cucumbers (2CH/piece): 4CH
-1 bunch parsley, given to me free :) : 0CH
-1 BIG bunch of KALE (YAY, this is the 1st time I've found it here! woo!): 1,50CH (what a bargain!!)
-1kg of apples = 5 large apples: 4,20CH
-2kg of watermelon = 1 big slice (2,50kg): 5CH

TOTAL money spent: 37,70CH / €24,80
NOTE: I could have spent less if I went around the whole market first, as I found cheaper (and organic) fennel (at 4CH/kg), cucumbers (at 1CH/piece)

The greens should last for quite a few days, but I think I will have to some more fruit/apples tomorrow or the day after, especially if all 3 of us are starting tomorrow! :)

My Juice Intake so far Today:

Breakfast: none (wasn't hungry and had nothing to juice yet! :)
Around 12PM: 900ml of Green Juice: romaine/carrots/fennel/spinach)


This recipe was from Angela and Mat Monarch's 'TV show' which supposedly tastes like 'chocolate milk'!! Well, to me it didn't but I do think I put in too many carrots! Here's the quantities I made it with:

-1/2 head romaine lettuce
-1/2 kilo carrots
-3 slices fennel
-handful spinach
(as I did this is the vitamix, i had to add a lil bit of water aswell)
A little while later around 12PM30: 1,5L of watermelon juice!! Ohhhh myyyy this is SOOO good!! I made the juice from the whole slice, BUT didn't juice the rind as it wasn't organic, unfortunatly. This tastes, and looks, like liquid candyfloss!!!! :D







Around 3:30PM: 1L of a really yummy and refreshing cucumber/apple/fennel/courgette(zuccini)/kale Green Juice:
-1 cucumber
-3 small apples (not the ones I bought today, I picked these on a walk in the Jura mountain yesterday:)
-2 thivk slices fennel
-1/3 large courgette/zuccini
-2 leaves kale

This totals around: 3,4L of juice

I won't start counting the days until we are alll on the juice feast, which is why I named this post 'Pre-juice Feast Juice Day' :) Besides, I did nibble a bit and had a few taster pieces of watermelon and cantaloupe at the market ;)

Will hopefully put up all of our BEFORE photos tomorrow ;)

have a fantastic day!
