since i am embarking on this journey and the road looks rough, i am treating myself each morning to a lovely cup of what the food network's barefoot contessa calls her "Chinese Juice of a Thousand Nectars." it's actually an american blend of only three, but it is refreshing and delicious and it cuts the morning mucus, which being a snively allergy-prone late-stirrer, i am prone to.
here is how you make it:
1/2 grapefruit, 1 orange, 1/2 lime. juice all three together, stir, and enjoy! AH! delicous! if you have a juicer, great. reamers are good, too. if not, just use a spoon to ream them out or the good old hand-squeezing method. be sure and squeeze over a bowl & not a glass, though, or you will lose most of your precious nectars to the countertop!
*on top chef masters last week i watched one chef clamp down on his lemon half WITH HIS TEETH and bite down on it it over a bowl... that was his juicing method! how beastially satisfying must that be? but this technique i fear is only ok if you are not sharing! lol.
i have to say, so far, so good. i actually feel BETTER. i am not missing anything so far. i have had the good people at starbux substitute soy milk for my usual non-fat milk and i find it's a sweet surprise! when you heat up soy milk it naturally sweetens itself more. it also has a thick, rich texture, so your latte seems more filling. i am so pleased! no cravings yet! hoorah!
