Vegetable Juice or Orange Juice?

Perhaps now is a good time to introduce a new refreshing delicious beverage into the home encouraging the consummation of fresh vegetables in your diet, even though you get some at supper, I presume . . .

ah yes the replacement of one acidic beverage (the citrus fruit) for another the tomato, also friut but different acid. Thank yu !

Thank you very much for that info and how are you doing these days ?

I don't know about mixing the two substances for my stomach but hey if it tastes good and works for you, more power to ya ! My breakfast is not till at least 2 hours after I am up and around and it has been mostly the same for the last six months: a bowl of organic raisin bran with 2% organic milk and an hour later a slice of cheese with a glass of v8--this is during the week menu for breakfast. Weekends, usually Saturday, it is OJ with 2 eggs, 2 slices bacon, 1 piece raisin toast about 45 minutes after a cup of coffee with cream and raw sugar. And some weekends I just sleep in real late and start with lunch around 2pm . . .

Thank you for the personal disclosure regarding the ill-likelihood of appealing to veggies, mostly from childhood indoctrination . . .

eeeeewwwww, now that is one citrus juice I cannot get down no matter how much sugar you put into it ! yucky . . .

Find yourself an inexpensive Hamilton Beach (or similar brand name product)home Juicer and go berzerk with your veggie smoothies ! I am saving up enough money for one this xmas cause the store brands are just not cutting it for me with the excess sugar or salt. I just love the juice and pulp, it is so refreshing ! sharing the light, Erica, the Enlightenment Advisor M.A. Transpersonal Psychology Studies Counseling, Author & Artist http://realincome.multiply.com/links/item/26

Yes as we get older our bodies tolerate high-acidic foods and beverages less than we used to and having to curb the satisfaction of a great fresh-squeezed glass of OJ to maybe once a month is hard. Go to the market and buy tangerellos and squeeze those yourself by hand, less acidic and works well with sherbert for fruit smoothies !

I agree about the great taste of orange juice but there is something in that tangy zest of fresh tomatoes, celery, lettuce, garlic (maybe if you juice these veggies yourself but store bought brands don't measure up to homemade preparations), watercress, carrot, beet and even parsnip ! yummy!

The most appropriate choice since our bodies lack this vital refreshment while we sleep. Thank you for your response.

Ah now that is very interesting, I also cook with it.

You are lucky to say you love cold water, it probably means that the local drinking water in your area tastes rather refreshing. Here in my community, according to my taste buds, there is too much of a 'pool taste' (highly chlorinated and probably over-flouridated--not good either way), so I boil it and let it sit out all day in a jug before retiring it to the fridge for overnight cooling and distilling before drinking. I love freshly squeezed oj but there is no grove close by and I don't own a juicer, not yet anyway . . .

Oooops is accepted and noted. Does the reliv also introduce vital phytonutrients into the product to be absorbed into the body systems ? Sounds good and thank you for your error- and error-free response ! lol hugs, e

lol, sorry, i transposed a & e in pineapple. tried to get this back but it went through anyway, so......as we say in neurosurgery, "ooops!"...

as a matter of fact, it does. Dr. Theodore Kalogris was the microbiologist who worked the formulas (800+) to the present day reliv classic. there are also a number of herbs included.

Now this sounds delicious ! Perhaps a genuine first to experiment with different veggies to get the perfect breakfast, starter of the day ! Thank you for your response and suggestion. sharing the light, e
