    Hi all,

    How have you been? All good here just been busy and playing Xbox with my SIL. While playing I watch Giants baseball through uuuz.tv on my phone and it was a pain since my case did not have a kickstand but I got a new case today that does have one and it's sweet! Bring on more baseball!

    At the moment I’m contemplating mixing a lemonade that I did buy two FLV flavors for. The recipe was posted here quite awhile back and Zazie said I should try it which is why I bought the 2 flavors. I did write the recipe down and I guess I have nothing to lose by mixing it.
    I have three Lemon Nade ish things that I just got all the flavors for. Trying to wean myself off of DLLT

    My son will not eat what I want to eat. I love vegetables and could live off them. Him not so much. It’s a struggle at my house. And I also don’t have a lot of time left (or energy) in my day after working to prepare 100% healthy food and he wouldn’t eat it anyway. If you think about it cheese, milk and bread are all processed foods. I think the USA should consider making the work week shorter and give more off days like other countries. I think most of us stress eat and have no time for healthiness.

    When I was eating healthier I had to make two separate meals. It was hard until I started meal prepping for me on Sundays to eat throughout the week. Boring but healthy food like chicken breast, broccoli, and rice, all measured. It was also hard and required planning.

    When he leaves I will live off salad and veggies and will probably become vegetarian. I just ate a salad for lunch that was bagged from the grocery that has everything you need. It was probably processed as well but healthier than fast food.

    When I was obsessed with health I also tried to eat zero sugar, not even fruit, as I was body building. It’s extremely difficult to find food except raw food that doesn’t have some form of sugar whether natural or added sugar. Look on the labels...sugar is almost unavoidable. It was very difficult to find even protein powder and protein bars, that all body builders use, without sugar.

    And most people are not going to do the work it requires to eat healthy.
    A typical centrifugal juicer (spinning basket strainer) is high speed and introduces too much O2.
    The juice from a centrifugal juicer needs to be consumed immediately or it goes useless.

    Masticating juicers (Omega & Champion) are low speed and introduce no oxygen. They tear it apart and grind it. The juice stays fresh and "alive" for about 24 hours jarred or bottled in the fridge.

    Organic is expensive but concentrated pesticides are never in anyone's top 10 good for you list.
    Pay to play. Cleanup is a PITA so I'd make a full day's worth at a time. All organic. All yum.

    Carrots, kale, celery, a bit of ginger & I bet there were a few radishes & beets hiding under there.
    EDIT - I spy some dandelion roots there. They'll never win any flavor awards but good food.

    Is it because it has a forum attached to it maybe?
    I stand corrected~
    yeah no....it's because the owner apparently is a bleepity bleep and trying to make it look like well-known mixers are active on their site.
    They are lucky that someone didn't submit a dmca against them

    I took the SSA ic base I had added crisp waffle too and added some fruit. Fresh, the waffle was very toasty tasting, and quite forward. I added the new FLV blackberry plus a touch of WF blackberry (for the tang side of bb). The dark fruit works well with the waffle. The FLV is a brighter version, but adding the WF rounds it out. No floral I can detect.
