Living Rawesome Day #242 Grapefruit Cleanser pg. 35 everyday raw
March 24, 2010
I had Sebastian get grapefruit from our tree out back. He grabbed one that was on the ground. It wasn’t bad, but it had dried a little. The grapefruit wasn’t the best but the other ingredients made up for it. I still had some apples left from last night’s potluck, so I used those and of course kale is always yummy. This drink was surprisingly refreshing. I was worried about the flavor of these ingredients together, but I enjoyed it. The sour and sweet were a perfect combination. I always love kale.
This is an excellent blend because the Vitamin C from the grapefruit helps the absorption of iron from the kale. I always try to eat things in this combination. I have always been concerned about getting enough iron. I quit eating red meat at an early age, so I learned how to make the most of my food choices. I often read that the best way to get the most of your iron intake is to eat it with Vitamin C.
This week has been difficult but one thing that made me so happy was knowing my son’s grades have improved in school. He is capable of doing all the work and more, but sometimes he gets a bit slack. Possibly he is bored? I am happy that he put forth effort and raised his grades tremendously! It was the best report card yet.
Grapefruit Cleanser Ingredients
3 grapefruits
2 apples
2 limes, peeled
3 stalks of celery
Push all ingredients through juicer. *I juiced the limes and grapefruit with a citrus juicer, then I used the juicer for the apples and kale.
Time to study some more. I am almost done with my Digestion Chapter. I am loving it.
