I love spinach. I do not juice. I think I will never drink spinach unless someone prepares an awesome juice for me. Living in Wisconsin, I find that highly unlikely 🙁

Get your spinach down you, Popeye! Great for the iron content. And with a a good supply of protein in your system, you’ll have no problems with energy levels – except you’ll probably be hyper!

You’re already everywhere and doing loads, extra oomph might just make you manic 🙂

I’ve recently thought about juicing but didn’t end up getting a juicer (I got a panini maker instead!). But I’m committed to having a better diet. I’ve had two friends get cancer lately. I luckily love veggies but need some better habits. I just saw Dr. Andrew Weil speak lately and that really influenced me as well. I’ve heard about people making Kale chips. My vegetarian brother being one of them. Maybe I’ll try that soon.

I go in and out of getting enough greens in my diet. It would be awesome to juice but I can’t really afford a juicer. By the way, if anyone generous is reading this comment, my birthday is coming up soon. Just saying…

Greens of all kinds are great. I do have a juicer. I like carrots with apples and parsley. I also like greens, especially chard. Fresh juice is so flavorful. Whether you juice or just add more greens to your meals, I hope you notice the extra energy.

Awww, Claudya, I am so happy for you! Isn’t it lovely when you meet a great doc? 🙂 Right now I am busy visiting the dentist – and I love the way they treat their patients. Nice sense of humor and upfront about what’s going to happen.

Glad you took up juicing. Isn’t it great when its ready? 😀 I am too lazy to make my juice, so I just eat the veg and greens. Hugs! And your doc is right about you being pretty. 🙂

In reply to Linda Wilson. Yeah, I need the greens because my body has a hard time absorbing iron. I absolutely need more lean protein in my diet.

In reply to Laurie Matherne. Oh yeah, you need that wine.

Ladies, ladies!

Perleez. If you want to get lean and look good (reduce BMI and stuff) look at your protein intake. What you need to do is forget about weight and concentrate on building lean muscle mass. This (lean muscle mass) is one of the first things that begins to go when you start messing about with diet.

Build lean muscle mass, change shape and be healthy. Eat plenty of greens (whether in juice or not) but make sure you don’t starve your muscles. But also don’t forget they aren’t weightless. Ditch the scales and use a tape measure to get a grip with the shape change. It’s far healthier.

Protein – white meats; fish; lean red meats in moderation.

Kindest regards,
L

I love spinach. Of course, I love almost all types of food, except I do not eat alligator or sushi. I do not juice. Instead I drink natural juice that is available in stands all over Honduras: carrot, watermelon, horchata, peach, pineapple. Sometimes, I mix in white wine for antioxidant value of course.

In reply to Keepiedaniece. See that's what I remember because my mother has made me drink some awful combinations as well, but I had a spinach juice with a little bit of apple and lime juice and it was delicious.

“…many miles away there’s a shadow on the door of a cottage on the shore of a dark Scottish lake…” I believe Synchronicity was a great song by The Police.
The term kismet is new but I have met my fate before. I didn’t think green juice would taste good. Thanks for the info.
“Juicing it up” should be in you fortune cookie.

When I was a kid, and that was a LONG time ago ’cause I’m older than dirt now, someone LOANED us a juicer. My parents went all juice happy making such lovely concoctions as celery, carrot, beet, cabbage juice.

This we were forced to drink as an aperitif before dinner.

It was worse than the plague and I shall never in my life juice as I have been juicing scared for life.

In reply to Ann Javoroski. I'm ready, baby! Now I need a juicer to appear in my kitchen.

I love the synchronicity aspect of this as well, but it is said that the teacher appears when the student is ready. Doncha think?

That was definitely meant to be! Sounds like a very interesting store. So glad you like your new doctor.

I need to get some kale and spinach. I eat a lot of wild greens, but those are probably better for me.

Interesting!

Oh yes…I do a little of the vegetable juices, though prefer adding some fruits in too, because the kids won’t have it otherwise…and that tastes really good then. However, it’s said that you should have your fruits raw and vegetables should be juiced. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. 🙂
