Day 3: Squashy Goodness

Today I am definitely feeling better. Not great, but better. Yesterday was lousy. I drank some Acai berry tea from a sampler pack. Either I was having some other issue at the same time or that tea made me feel like I had a headache and was going to vomit at the same time. Gross.

I have found the secret to making protein shake tasty, Peanut butter. I don't think it's in line with the whole juice fast thing, but I could use the extra proteins and fatty acids. That being said I think I'm going to go to Whole Foods or some place where they have those own choose yo' nuts and make some buttah! things. I wish they were marketed that way. Anyway I'm thinking at least that way I'll know it's fresh and there won't be any additional ingredients.

Juice of the Day!

Squashy Goodness
2 summer squash
1 zucchini
2 apples
1 pear
3 cups of spinach
1 cucumber
ginger

Super yummy. I think a little mint would have made it, unfortunately I don't have any right now.

Chris and I got up really early this morning and walked around the lake. It felt kind of taxing, and I just didn't feel like I had much energy, which doesn't really bode well for hiking next weekend. Oh well. Chris and I are planning on eating while hiking. Nut butters, avocado, whole fruits and Veggies. Maybe even some soup (just some veggie puree stuff). That way we'll actually have some fuel for our bodies. There will definitely be an update after that.

Sounds good, except for right now I'm trying to avoid flours and pre processed stuff of any kind. But that sounds like a pretty nom breakfast any other time.

Haha I was totally looking at the pumpkin pancakes recipe. Maybe I'm not tip-top yet.
