Pineapple Green Juice and day 9 of my juice cleanse. It’s crazy! Only 5 days left!

Breakfast: Orange Cherry Juice

I feel: I had a bit of a traumatic experience last night. I heard my ducks quacking and ran outside just in time to stop a raccoon from dragging Banana Sandwich away and killing her. This was after a really long day of shooting an episode and I wanted to let the ducks have a little bit of time in the pond before I went to bed. When I got her inside, I thought the raccoon had broken her neck or something… She was obviously shocked, breathing very hard, and couldn’t stand or keep her head up. I’m so beyond thankful that after about 15 minutes she calmed down and sort of re-oriented herself and she turned out to be fine. She has some claw marks on her beak, but otherwise is fine. I ended up crying myself to sleep and therefore woke up this morning feeling very depressed. My overall feeling today was not fantastic and I got my period and obviously won’t go into detail, but those two things combined I’m certain contributed to my mood and my lethargy more than the juice cleanse did. I almost feel like today doesn’t count. By the end of the day my mood was up and fine again, but I was very tired. I really think that has much more to do with the emotional stress from the night before than anything else.

I tried my hand at juicing broccoli before, and with all of the other green juices I did it with and an apple the result was just horrible. Broccoli has an overpowering taste that I certainly did not enjoy. However, I made it again and added pineapple to the mixture and it was like a miracle cure! The taste of the pineapple is much stronger than the taste of any of the vegetables, so even though you’re drinking this very green and veggie loaded juice, you’ll be tasting the delicious sweet taste of pineapple instead. I would like to take a moment right now to thank pineapple, once again, for existing. Also, the fresh mint added a nice, cool taste to the drink that I really enjoyed. It’s possible to make it without it, but why? You get the health benefits of mint AND that nice, cool, fresh breath!
