Galantys Game Plan

It’s that time of year again….the weather is beautiful, the kids are home from school, the work is piling up, the to-do list is growing exponentially, and the social calendar is overflowing.  The lazy, fun-filled days of summer tend to be accompanied by a variety of foods I typically avoid and evenings getting to bed much later than I’d like.  It’s a fun time of year for sure, but I have been starting to feel the effects of all the hoopla both physically and emotionally, so I decided this week to take a break and do a bit of cleansing…a week of only raw foods and live juices plus my daily yoga and meditation with the goal of cleansing and re-vitalizing both my mind and body.

I thought I would share this juice recipe with my readers to entice you to join me!  This recipe is from the book The Seven Day Total Cleanse by Mary McGuire-Wien.  I highly recommend this book;  it’s chock full of great blends of tasty juices.  Not only does it taste great, but it is supposed to enhance your ability to communicate. (Check with my husband in a few days to see if it worked!)

Blueberry Pineapple Juice:

½ organic pineapple

1 stalk celery

1 lemon (peeled)

½ inch piece of ginger

1 pint blueberries

In the book, the recipe calls to place everything through the juicer except the blueberries.  Those should be combined with the juice in a blender.  In my haste to make the juice, I didn’t read those instructions and just put them through the juicer as well.  The result was a delicious juice, but I will definitely try it the other way next time I make it.

Enjoy!
