Day 21!

Chris has created a favorite breakfast juice. He loves it, I hate it! But, the breakfast juice I like is similar, so I can make them both at the same time. His juice is 2 oranges, 2 grapefruit and 2 carrot. Mine is 3 oranges and 2 carrots. I make mine first, and then his so I don't get any grapefruit taste in mine.

We are on day 21! Chris has had a significant weight loss. His wedding ring is loose and he can now fit back into his Ox Blood Doc Martens that he has had since 1990! He is super excited about that, and he wore them on our 3 mile walk we had today with Pig at Horton Lake.

My sister told me of a juice that tastes like Key Lime Pie. 

So, we decided to try it out today for lunch. 

Key Lime Pie Juice

1 Pineapple

1 Lime

a whole bunch of Kale. I think we used 6 or 8 big leaves. 

We used our nifty pineapple corer 

Put it on the pineapple and twist.

and twist

and twist

then when you hit the bottom, you pull the fruit right out leaving the core inside the skin.

tada! I think the pineapple skin would make a fun adult beverage holder at a pool party. I'm going to remember that this coming summer. 

We put all the fruit and kale in the juicer and got two small glasses of juice. Pineapple doesn't yield much juice. It would probably be enough for just one person.

Did it taste like key lime pie? Nope. But, it did taste very good, we think we are going to try it again and also add in a pear. The pear will help add more volume, and Chris didn't like the pineapple kick aftertaste, so the pear should help with that too. Yummy.
