[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to add onto this. I started doing a green juice every morning a week ago and obviously still in early stages, but it is truly amazing. It sets me up for the day super well, helps me make healthier choices, and has made me feel better overall. I super super love it and am totally into it now. I never thought I would and I had some pretty unhealthy habits for a minute (chips in the middle of the day, lots of random snacking at night) and all of that is basically gone. I would even crave soda's alot before and I haven't had one since I started juicing. Its kind of amazing. I LOVE IT.

[quote=Anonymous]Green juice and yoga.

I know how that makes me sound, but I cannot stress enough that I am not a crunchy person and those two things are the last things I ever expected to get into.

Re the yoga: as I started to lose weight and get more fit I found it more and more enjoyable. Nowadays basically any time I have a few minutes to spare I’ll either steam a short peloton yoga class or just run through some sun salutations or other poses.  My body actually craves the movement and feels so good doing it.  And it fills a lot of the empty time I used to spend snacking or thinking about food.

On the juice, I know that doesn’t answer your question because it is actually food, but it totally realigned my relationship with food.  I starting making a green juice for breakfast as part of my weight loss plan and just got addicted.  (To be clear, I always ate real food too, never did juice fasts.) I hit my goal weight a long time ago but will never ever stop juicing.  I don’t crave sweets anymore ever and I very rarely crave any other type of food. A fresh green juice in the morning gives me the kind of pleasure I used to get from a big fried meal.  I make fruitier juices for snacks or desert and it tastes and feels like I’m having something bad for me, even though it’s still quite healthy.[/quote][/quote]

Please your recipe! Help. Also, does it work in a Vitamix or must it be a juicer?[/quote]
