Juice/Smoothie!!

So today I tried something new.  I juiced broccoli, parsley, cilantro, carrot, cauliflower and apple.  Then I threw the juice into the Vitamix.  Then I added frozen peaches and frozen mixed fruit (berries.)  I blended it up and it was too frozen so I added in some almond milk.  This is a huge glass and that's what I got.  I drank it and loved it.  Chelsea tried some and said she would need more fruit.  I can imagine if you were not much of a veggie person, all the stuff I put in this drink might be overwhelming.  Again, I point you to the Williams-Sonoma website.  Go to the juicer section and they have 30 recipes for juices.  They start with mostly fruit and ease into the veggies.  This would probably be good for people who cannot stomach the overpower flavors of broccoli or that sort of thing.

I think it's yummy and it has been so easy.  I leave the juicer out.  Then it doesn't seem like such an ordeal to pull it out, put it together and then juice.  It's already together.

I asked Jeff (my husband) to build me a couple raised beds.
This is going to be fun to juice things I grew.  Farmer Kelly, that's what they'll call me!!!  I guess I could wear stripped overalls and raise chickens in honor of my grandpa, Lauren Ferris.  NOT!!
