MY BLENDTEC BLENDER ARRIVED !!!

HI everyone,
Just wanted to let you know my blendtec blender,excaliber dehydrator and my Hurom juicer arrived today - I ordered the juicer and blender from Raw Food World (see link under link section) and my excaliber dehydrator direct from the company ( http://www.excaliber.com/ ) ..both have GREAT service and shipped FAST!!

Ok well after eating my last totally cooked meal for while my son and I cleaned out the fridge and went SHOPPING for all kinds of RAW foods such as :
 mangos (never had those) avacodos (normally hate those but figure I can hide them in smoothie haha) apples ,carrots,pears,mixed berries,strawberries,blueberries,rasberries ,melons(frozen) kale, alfalfa sprouts,bananas,celery,tomatoes,kiwi (no idea what I will do with those haha but they looked so cute and fuzzy)spinach,romaine lettuce,cabbage (coleslaw mix so its easy for me to grab for lunch at work etc)mixed baby green lettuce spinach mix,and a whole bunch of great raw foods!! no nuts or seeds yet as I need to get to a different store for those (we have a small health food store that will have the dulse,seeds and nuts I want to get and also need a nut milk bag)..We bought as much organic as we could however we are limited in our small town and the nearest organic grocer is like an hour and half away and we seldom get over that way with my work schedule ..In season we will hit tailgate markets etc and what we can't get organic we will at least try to get local...and we are planning to have a strawbale garden this year so we will have our own organic veggies!! YEAH!! and hopefully I will get a cold frame built for growing greens in...

SOOOO I HAD to try my blender so I took 1 cup mixed berries and 2 cups water and about 1 cup kale and maybe 1/4 cp alfalfa sprouts and mixed away (no recipe I just winged it haha) !!! I must say I thought it would be yukky but it wasn't bad - not great but not bad I could drink it ok and not feel deprived since I don't normally eat breakfast at all this will certainly be better!!(ok well I do normally get a sausage biscuit with cheese from the dreaded Mc D's there thats my dirty little secret!! but I don't eat until I have been up for at least 4 hours)...I think it needed a banana though haha so will add that in the morning to it and maybe a little more water and ICE to make it extra special for my first morning start...I plan to take a mixed salad for lunch with some lemon and EVOO and maybe some fruit for a snack in case I get a munchie in the day and also will take some smoothie with me to work in case I need a boost (no idea how fast I will get hungry eating and drinking this "stuff" haha...So want to be prepared so I don't "indulge" on my first day!!

My son tried the Hurom juicer - he took 4 apples 2 golden delicious and 2 Gala and made apple juice - he loved it he also added some pomagranite juice to it...He did say though that he isn't a "pulp" drinker so he really wants the nut milk bag so he can strain his juice..he says its JUICE not a smoothie so NO PULP !!! but otherwise he liked it !! maybe he will give up soda?? we will see...Well this is my journey he is just along for the ride and to navigate for me haha!!

Well will post again later I plan to weigh in and maybe post my goal list so we can see what happens on this challenge...
Oh Lets give this a start and end date like say maybe 30 days?? to see where I am by then ?? for my goal - what do ya think?? Ok tomorrow is my actual start date and we will see where I am in 30 days!!!

Til next time........
