That's the link to the Reboot site! I've been telling myself for days that I should really post that, and yet I just keep forgetting. Hey, this is supposed to help my memory, not work miracles. So yes, click that little linky up there to be taken to the website where you an sign up and try it out yourself. There's no spam emails, they're not going to call or write you, and it doesn't cost anything. NOTE: Since the release of 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead', their website has been swamped with traffic. They're working on upgrading or whatever, but in the meantime, the site is pretty darn slow (almost dial up speed), and has a tendency to crash. This is one of the reasons I've posted almost all the recipes, in case the site isn't working and people need to know the menu. Also, I'm going to go back and add the days recipes on the days I skipped so if you've already read them, if you go back to day 8-10, you'll find any recipes I left out the first time I posted. If that makes sense....

Tuesday again, that means I'm teaching preschool today, which means I'm making up my juice AND my breakfast and taking the juice with me. If I don't, those animal crackers are destined a slow and painful death in my tummy. Mmmmm......

HA! Yea right. This may have been on the menu, but I'm not that dumb. I went with the good 'ol "dump berries and a bunch of other stuff in the blender" route. In this case it was raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and 1/2 an avocado. There may have been more but I can't quite remember because I was in a rush. Oh, that's right, mango! I put about 3/4 a mango in there too. Also, I'm totally lying, I didn't make this one up. I got it off the reboot website. I completely forgot. Here's their recipe:
Very Berry Mango
1/2 cup Strawberries
1/2 cup Blueberries
1/2 cup Raspberries
1/2 cup Blackberries
1/2 Mango
1/2 Avocado
4 oz. unsweetened coconut water
1/2 cup crushed ice or ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)
I didn't have any blueberries this time, and I passed on the ice, but it all works just as well.

Mid-Morning snack at 11am
Beet, Celeriac, Carrot Juice
4 Carrots, stems removed
1/2-1 Apple, seeded
1/2 Celeriac root
1 Beet
1/4 inch slice Ginger root (optional)
Calories: 285
Protein: 7 g
Fiber: 1 g
I'll eat them roasted, but still not going to brave putting them in juice. This one ended up being carrots, apple, and celery root because I forgot the ginger. It was REALLY sweet and for as small amount it made, I couldn't even drink it all. Also, celery root is a strange thing. I can't help but think it should be called celery heart because it look spot on like a freakish vegetable heart. Cutting into it gave me a decidedly creepy vibe. I was a step away from putting on dish gloves and an apron and pretending to be a mad juicing scientist, complete with raising my hands in the air while looking skyward and laughing maniacally.

I wasn't a big fan of that squash and apple soup...so I may have accidentally on purpose left it out all night which justified my actions of dumping it down the drain this morning. Oops. *looks shifty* Instead, I had the last of my salad from last night and the veggies as well and also *GASP* 2 beets!

| Yea, you read that right. TATY. I bet it was darn taty. |
My first thought here was, "Wow. I get to eat salsa and a salad for dinner. Lovely." But actually, this was really good. I didn't want to hassle with corn on the cob so I used frozen corn since I have 4 bags of it in my freezer. I also didn't have Jalapeno sadly. I would have liked that. Still, this was surprisingly good. I let it sit for about 1.5 hours while I made dinner for everyone else. With the salad, it made for a good meal, except that I made the dressing in the blender as described, and I used waaay too much ginger. I tasted nothing BUT ginger for the next 2 hours, actually. For the record, I highly recommend making sure when the recipe says '2 TBSP', you put in that much, and not just eyeballing it.
