Since I don't have a juicer, I have to make due with my (NOT high powered) blender whenever I need to make my green juices...or any other juice for that matter.
Even though this blender has been very good to me over the past couple of years,
I think it's time for me to move on and get a juicer as well as a more efficient blender.
In the meantime though, I have to deal with what I have. Actually, there's really only one problem that I'm running into when I make juices with my blender.
The problem is pictured below:
Froth.
There's this absolutely vile tasting frothy concoction that layers the top of my green juice. I know that this has to do with the fact that EVERY part of the plant that was thrown into the blender is still there when you drink it. Nothing was stripped from my spinach...it's all there.
Now my question is...is it, in fact, healthier for my to down the whole drink, froth and all, or should I just focus on drinking the liquid part...which looks like this:
I noticed that when I stripped that layer of froth from the juice, my stomach was better able to handle the amount of spinach that I was ingesting. This batch had about three handfuls (not all of it is pictured).
I think that as long as I'm getting my greens in daily, I'll be just fine. I don't think that whatever I scooped out will make much of a difference. I'm still heavily in the transitioning stage, so I'm still trying to figure stuff out for myself and feel my way around for things that work for me. I'm really trying to get myself into a raw, daily routine...that'll make things a lot easier
I'm a good vegan, but now I have to work on being a good raw foodist.
