I’m going to go with low alkaline fruits and work my way up: http://www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html

…and then still stick lots of veggies in there.

Yesterday I went to drink a juice I made and unconsciously got ready to be disgusted, but was so surprised when what came into my mouth was GOOD. It felt awesome.

This morning I made spinach + pineapple. That worked out to be really good, too.

Aaaand I’ll have more lemon water too.

Thank you again, very very much!!

Why? Because of all the food I had eaten over my life – I was very acidic. The alkalinity of the juice was so intense. It makes us feel awful.

Start drinking some lemon water every day. Lemons are notoriously acidic, but when they get in the body, they are alkalizing.

And yes, do more fruits and just slowly add in the greens. Fruit juice of your loving with just a handful of spinach to start. Romaine is also a really easy green to get down in my opinion. I am super loving it lately. Let your body get used to the greens slowly and your body will love it.

You’re going to love juicing again! Yay!

I’m so excited for you. xoxo

And thank you for the couch offer! That is very awesome of you.

So ease into the greens for sure. I have a mix every day of fruits/veggies and just veggies. I’m going to post my favorite recipes in my next post so you can try some of them maybe. They are easy and enjoyable. Mmm.

I will love whenever you’re able to come out. We have a couch here so if you need a couple nights you could totally do that here with me and my roomie Shawn. She’s great.

Man, I am so fiending for another juice fast… I just get so nervous because I got so sick on the first one!

I think I’m going to juice for the rest of the day today, then tomorrow, and see how my body responds.

I’ll also have more sugar this time – last time was pure veggie juice, which might be why my body got pissed off.

At any rate, you’re doing an INCREDIBLE job!!!

And btw, I won’t be coming to California next weekend, I don’t think – it looks like Jaime needs some grounding time, and I was going to stay with her!

Hopefully I can make it soon… I’m looking forward to it

Have an awesome day,

With love,
Rachel

I know what you mean about cleaning juicers. Much more time consuming than rinsing out the pitcher of your blender.

If you like the smoothie scene, then keep all the pulp from the blending – if not, then strain it.

Try things like:

- Swiss chard, celery, red bell pepper, garlic, cilantro, tomato, green cabbage, salt, pepper, cayenne. It makes like a tomato smoothie soup like a V8!

If you got to http://www.RawFoodRehab.com and become a member for free, you can also go into the Kitchen area and find tons of Raw Soups which are made in blenders and are basically savory smoothies.

So much fun! I used to only do fruit smoothies and when I when I learned about savory smoothies/soups it was like WHOA! These things are delicious!

So totally have at it with your blender…it’s gonna be fun and awesome! Strain if you want or keep it thick and put it in a bowl and eat with a spoon like soup for a fun change of pace.

And yes on the tongue thing. Just let your tongue know that everything is okay. It still gets yummy things that it enjoys. And this way so does the rest of your body too.

I do fruit smoothies with ease. The veggie ones I want to try. Can I do these in a power blender? My juicer takes hours to clean, so it kinda sits on the shelf collecting dust.

Love what you’re saying about tongues above. Never thought about it that way.

I wish you the best with your juice feast and bike journey to the beach!
