Day 5 Evening Meal its all going to be ok

Tonight's recipe was vegetables with a splash of fruit for good measure. So here is our summer greens recipe

1 x cabbage

6 x Large runner beans

6 x carrots 

1 x lime

2 x nectarines

Slice of water melon

Half a pineapple

2 x Green Apples

3 x pears 

This was enough to make almost 2ltrs of juice.

One thing I was unsure of was the thickness of juice. When you home juice, the machine extracts the juice and dumps the fibrous material out as waste, however the juice will not be anything like as clear or refined as you get from a carton or a juice shop, this is because a small amount of fibrous material still gets through into the juice. If you want super clear juice you can ether let the liquid settle and scoop the fibre off the top, or refine the juice through a filter, the problem with refining your juice is that it will get super expensive, you will get far less juice from each piece of fruit or vegetable so its more time consuming and you will lose fibre, a necessary nutrient if your planning on taking a poo.

Thanks to the support of my wife Sammy, my daughter Abby and some good friends on Facebook, I managed to get through today and feel more positive than earlier when I posted. Its good to know you do get our ups as well as your downs.
