It's Sunday evening and I'm so pleased to say I've made it through another weekend. The last weekend, really. I was running around yesterday and had two Orange Carrot Karma juices from Jamba before the day was out. I finally made some juices last night so that I wouldn't be without today.
My mother's day lunch consisted of a Tropical Cooler from Nekter Juice Bar. It has coconut butter in it and was quite a treat. I don't know exactly what coconut butter is but I intend to find out and get me some. It was delicious. As much as I enjoyed my smoothie, the (authentic) Greek food my daughter had for my mother's day lunch was almost too much to resist. However, once I was full from my drink, the food no longer tempted me. Full is full.
So, do you think you'll ever visit one of these juice stores just for fun after this is over or will you avoid smoothies all together now?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll patronize the juice stores after the fast and no, I'll not avoid smoothies. I intent to incorporate juciing into my daily diet, mostly hommemade. When it's hot outside I like to get a smoothie from one of the juice bars. I don't have an ice shaver at home and juice over ice just doesn't satisfy me like a smoothie.
ReplyDeleteCoconut butter is just coconut flakes that have been processed to a butter. It is sold in jars but tends to be expensive. If you have food processor and some patience, it's easy to make it at home.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I found some at Mother's Market & it was super expensive. I'll give it a try myself.
