Day 7 - Dinner

It was a random one - we put in swiss chard, cucumbers, carrots, apples, ginger and lime. 
We tried the swiss chard as we had gotten some from our CSA and figured we'd throw it in for the green leafy vegetables part.

Alex didn't like the smell of it - but I actually thought it wasn't very flavorful.  Not bad, not great, just normal.

Day 5

Breakfast was ready to juice - Mangoes, apples, kiwi and 1/2 a lime.  This tasted like an Odwalla, the thickness clearly came from the mangoes....but the lime was the winner on the flavor side.  Zoe even liked this one...she hasn't really been a fan yet of any of the juices that she's tasted.

Because the mangoes didn't really produce a lot of "juice" we didn't get much actual volume...so we had little glasses.  However, it was very filling.  I didn't have to eat my snack until about 11am!

Alex was adamant that the pulp that was extracted from the mangoes should not go to waste...so he scooped it out, fed some to Phoebe and brought the rest to work for a snack.

Dinner was a salad and grilled chicken...so we actually didn't have juice tonight either!!  I can definitely tell my stomach is finally adjusting to the amount of food I'm intaking.

Day 4

Breakfast was Apples, oranges, carrots, and 1/2 a lime.
It was good - we thought the orange flavor would come through stronger - but the carrots definitely won out  there...

I do know someone who adored it though....I literally couldn't get the glass from her grip!

Dinner we had some sauteed vegetables and we were going to finally use some mangoes but we ended up cleaning the fruit pretty late (at 9'ish).  As we were cleaning the fruit up, the power went out - so that went the plan for juicing!  We cleaned up the rest of the fruit by candel light (very romantic, I know) and saran wrapped it and went to bed.
