an actually delicious green juice recipe:
- little chunk of ginger
- three fistfuls of spinach
- three fistfuls of kale
- couple stalks of celery
- one granny smith apple
- two inch thick rounds of pineapple
- a cucumber
food is medicine
after laying over bolsters and icing my shoulder all day i decided to concoct my own home made v-8 type drink; mostly because almost all the ingredients are anti-inflammatory foods and clearly, i am inflamed. i was so excited about this, certain that it would be awesome and delicious and great to share with everyone. in my mind it would be so good that on a day when i didn't need the anti-inflammatory properties - i could add vodka! it would be like a healthy cocktail. so i set to work; i used a half a clove garlic, a sprig of basil, a slice of onion, a bowl of spinach, a few sticks of celery and most of a cucumber. then i blended the resulting juice in a blender with a tomato.
it was disgusting.
i should have just made a salad.
however, about an hour and a half later - the inflammation, along with the pain, had gone down considerably. so i still consider this a success story. (the moral is, drink your veggies.)
drink a bit more water, eat a few more veggies, practice breathing deeply, have alot of sex, smile more in general, do some yoga obviously, don't take life so seriously and chill the fuck out. namaste biches! xx.
