Day 16: Our First Juice Fast Test!

Today is "Day 16" of our Partial Reboot juicing experience, however, today we have decided to try out a day of Juice Fasting!


Breakfast was the adapted version of "Orange Shmorange," the ever tasty "Sunset Over the Trees."

For lunch, we had:

hmmm, is this enough? Maybe we should add...

...a green apple! Yes, but is that enough? Let's add...

...a zucchini!


Peaches 'n Greens
Yields 1 Qt. (plus about 1 cup extra)
2 White Nectarines
2 Peaches
5 Kiwis
1 Zucchini
2 cups Kale
LOADS of Spinach! (4 cups is our guess)

And we got hungry again, so we cheated with a Greenia Colada Smoothie for our snack instead of a juice. We made our own coconut milk this time, because last time the coconut was rotten and moldy and we couldn't use it.


Coconut meats plus coconut water, and a cup of HOT water.
  
blend until smooth...

put into juicer...

here come the coconut milk!


1 Coconut = about 16 oz. Coconut Milk

It's so WHITE!

Blend milk with the other ingredients...

...oooh, pretty!
Wait, there's MORE! Free bra included!
Bee has had a headache since about 3:00pm. There are multiple factors that could be the cause, not just the Juice Fast. She is also very irritable today, also not necessarily due to the fasting. It could very likely be due to hormonal... issues. And problems with other human beings. And lack of chocolate to fix them.


And we haven't yet decided on dinner. But we will, because it is around that time right now! The fasting isn't fun so far, only because we know we have kettle corn popcorn to eat, and some nice salad leftovers... So we'll post the rest of the day in a few hours and see what happens next!


***UPDATE***


So we ate real food for dinner.


We got to a point where we could probably have made it through and gone to bed, but then we realized now wasn't the time for a juice fast because we had a leftover salad that needed to be eaten, plus hummus and other things that were just going to go to waste...


...and we were hungry.


But don't worry, we paired it with a Juice! :D
