Juicing when you are on the go.

Some of the problems that may arise when you are juicing, is finding a juice place when you are on the go and traveling.    I do not recommend pre-packaged juices that claim to be "green" or "healthy"  All of these either have preservatives or have been pasteurized and you are not getting the full benefits of cold pressed juices.

Whole Foods and The Fresh Market do have cold pressed juices that are either made daily or shipped in daily.  Check the labels to make sure there are no additives and preservatives.  A good brand is Suja and BluePrint juices.  On Juice is also another brand.  They even ship overnight.  You can even order a cleanse program from them.

Yelp! is another great option when looking for juice bars when on the go.  They have an app for iPhone and Android.

Unfortunately, Planet Smoothie, Tropical Smoothie Cafe and other chain smoothie places do not offer the healthiest choices.  If this is your option look for something with greens in it (you may have to ask them to add spinach) and go with something non-dairy and something without sugar or chocolate.  Most chains are providing the fruit added juices.  If this is your only option, then go for it.

DAY 6

After our day of "cheating" we started day 6 with the pear smoothie.

Our plan was to stop at Hi-Octane Smoothies, but they were not open on Sunday.  Kind of shocking since they are located near a gym.  In a bind on our way to the dog show, Matt ate an apple and I got an organic pea, spinach and apple puree that I ate. It took the edge off, only contained spinach, pea and apple and I felt was my best choice.

WE had a green smoothie at Eat More Produce for late snack and then headed to Outback for dinner.  I failed to satisfy my beef craving on Saturday and it was very strong on Sunday.

The bread came to the table.  One slice each.  No butter.  Then the salad.  Okay.  We can eat a little cheese and the croutons.  We used vinegar and oil for dressing.  Sirloin steaks and side of broccoli.  Boy did the potato on the lady's plate next door look divine.

Came home and felt much better.  I am obviously going to need to eat beef on my cheat days in order to make it on Sunday.

Day Five

My daily gratitude:  So glad to find more and more Smoothie/Juice bars along the way of life.  Makes sticking to this easier.

Day 4 we ate dinner.  I made lightly steamed broccoli, lightly steamed carrots and a 3 oz piece of Corvina fish.  I also tore up some romaine and sliced a tomato.  Never was I so happy to eat my veggies.  I made sure to season them well with the Kirlkland No-Salt seasoning blend and added cinnamon to the carrots.

Day 5 started off with an early rise to leave for the dog show.  I, unfortunately, ate nothing.  Hubby ate a banana and an apple.  On the way home we stopped at Hi-Octane Smoothies in Clermont.  I chose the one I felt was closest to what I was juicing - mango, pineapple juice, banana and spinach.  Their blender was much more hi powered and the consistency was decadent.  Smooth and creamy.  Delicious.

I made it.

My afternoon lunch/snack was this in the blender

2 pears cut up
banana
water
2 c spinach

Delicious.  Tasted like pears.

On Day 5 Matt is down 10 pounds and I am down 6.

Tomorrow is our cheat day.  I wonder what I will do with it.  Hmmm.
