I've been hearing about all the uproar about arsenic in apple juice, and I hadn't really given it much thought since we are not big juice drinkers. Apple juice seems to upset my youngest's tummy to the point that we must remain near a restroom if a well-meaning grandparent gives him a juice box that contains apple juice. Sneaky apple juice is in nearly all juice boxes, so Daniel brings a special bottle of water each day in his lunch box.
This morning, my kids had a delicious breakfast including orange juice. According to the packaging, this OJ is made about 20 minutes away from my house. I was thinking it couldn't be too terribly bad. And then I read this article a physician friend of mine linked to Facebook. And of course, if it's on the internet, it must be true! While ordinarily, I take things I read online with a grain of salt, this business of OJ not really being as healthy as it proclaims itself, is something that I've been thinking about since viewing Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix last week.
I've asked for either a juicer or a Vita Mix for Christmas, but I know Santa's budget is pretty tight, so I don't know if it will work out. It's in my quest to try to get more raw fruits/veggies in my diet.
This morning, I made a yummy smoothie in my cheap-o Oster blender that was a wedding gift 13 years ago.
1 cup of ice
1 cup of Almond Milk
2 TBSP greek yogurt
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries
1 cup frozen spinach
1 scoop chocolate flavored protein powder
1 TBSP chia seeds
