Juicing...

and not the illegal kind...it requires learning a second language. Seriously. If not a second language then there is at least a serious learning curve.

I'm trying my hand at more juicing and eating raw. It's hard....just figuring out what all these things, ingredients, are takes a degree, maybe an advanced degree.

For instance do you know what Spirulina is? Me either. That's what Google is for. How about Wheatgrass? I mean I grew up on a farm in Oklahoma. My dad was a wheat farmer. This is the same thing! I had no idea until I googled it! Ok how about this, "capsules of friendly bacteria"? Luckily I actually knew what this was and didn't have too much trouble finding it at the Apple Crate, my local Natural Market. I had to google Power Greens to figure out what that is....and it's expensive, just like the Omega Swirl stuff I bought.

I've got almost everything I need to begin juicing. I ordered a pallet of wheat grass that should be in on Monday. They had the powder but I'm trying to use more whole, natural foods, the real thing when I can. I also have to order the Spirulina and Power Greens. I've never done a detox but I want to see what it's like. Plus I'd like to feel like I am getting a fresh start when I really move into the Raw eating. I'm certainly learning as I go and I feel a little intimidated by the process. Any tips and pointers are more than welcome...

Probiotic, Omega 3, Wheat Grass powder sample, Tea...only a few necessary ingriedients

Have you ever done a detox? How about eating Raw or juicing? I know I can't be 100% raw and actually I believe it will be best for me if I am more like 80% raw, that is mostly consuming raw foods but also some cooked foods like meat (not going vegetarian), some veggies occasionally, and lentils and beans. I'm pretty excited to document my progress and to really see how I feel even a few weeks into it. So what do you think??
