New Year's Resolutions...in February

OK--I have restarted Yoga  :D     I found  The Lotus, at 144th and Maple, with locations at One Pacific and elsewhere so classes are always available! So happy with the instructor, the setting and the class.....ah...ommmmmmmmm.

From their website-I am not there yet :D

And on Nick and Nicki's suggestion, I watched Sick Fat and Nearly Dead--the riveting documentary of Joe Cross   and his 60 day juice diet/food fast.  It is a fabulous movie and opened my eyes to the potential of taking lots and lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking the nourishment rather than trying to eat that much fruit and veggies in a day.

I got the Jack Lalane Juicer from Costco and a box full of veggies and fruit to juice. Nick and Nickie's secret recipe is:
 First, in the  food processor, add  spinach or kale (I did 2 cups), banana, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 cup water) and blend thoroughly. 
Then in the juicer:
Combine 1 orange, 1/2 lemon (with peel), 1 pear, 1 apple, 3 carrots, 5 asparagus, ginger root 1 inch peeled, cucumber and pineapple.  (I omitted the cucumber for Kevin and forgot the ginger root).
After this is juiced, add to blender of kale etc and blend. Drink now and save the rest--for a day or 2  (any longer and the nutrients are gone).  Nick told me to taste each veggie as it came through and he was right--the juice tastes really different from the veggie! But, there are all sorts of recipes--they don't have to have this many ingredients. 

Finished product tastes great-can you imagine all the nutrients and vitamins in this? I had it for lunch 

Check out the beautiful page of recipes at the Williams Sonoma website--if you look into it, you'll see that Joe Cross contributed to this effort for them.  I encourage you to give this a try--but don't drop $350 at WS, got to Costco and drop $80 :D
