How could you possibly?



How could you possibly eat all this for breakfast?

2 stalks of bok choy, 2 stalks of celery, 2 swiss chard leaves, a beet, a red bell pepper, 2 carrots and 2 tomatoes.

It's amazing how much you'd have to actually eat to get enough vitamins and minerals in your diet. I don't think it would be possible for most people — you'd be eating all day long!

Another observation is that people have no problem eating a vegetable soup or stew that is this color:


(kinda fun how it came out of the juicer and formed these layers)


(after mixing it all together)

Yet when a juice is this color, it turns people off. When I began juicing my first reaction to these colors was not revulsion, but "is this going to taste okay?" I guess it's because Americans are so conditioned to think that "juice" = bright and only certain colors. I got a green juice to go from Protein Bar last week and as I walked down the street I noticed people looking at it. One guy even nudged his friend and pointed, as if I were drinking a puréed monster. You just don't see a lot of bright green liquids being ingested by humans, so it doesn't look "normal." Think outside the juice box, people!
