Cauliflower crust.....now THAT does sound interesting, lol. I would give it a try though. I am always looking for new ways to make pizza

Try adding a frozen banana (cut into at least 4 pieces- makes it easier to blend). It kind of gives it a milkshake consistency. Here's my go-to recipe... 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (this is a thick milk, so it helps with thickness too.) 1 scoop chocolate Peanut Butter Protein powder 2 tbsp PB2 powder mixed with Water to make peanut butter paste 1 frozen banana Blend it all together and enjoy. It is thick and delicious!

I use black beans all the time in my chili! I hardly ever use any other kinds of beans now.

Thanks for sharing!!

I love putting PB2 in my Protein shakes and smoothies. I like the PB2 with chocolate in my banana smoothies....yum! I use it more in smoothies than anything else. Hope you like it!!

I am going to mimic what everyone else has said. We all have bad days. The important thing is to learn from it and get back on track....immediately. I have bad days from time to time and feel guilty as well, but I forgive myself and move on. Hope you have a better day today

I have a Breville juicer too. I love it! It works fantastic! Good luck with your juicing, m.boyer!

Thanks for the info, Kimberly!

I peel my lemons too. I think I will peel my cucumbers when I do try them since cucumbers seem to be overpowering. Maybe it will help. About the cabbage....is it best to juice just cabbage for the ulcers, or can you mix it with other stuff and get the same results? And how much and how often should he be having it? Thanks!

I have not tried cucumbers yet. I have been wanting to though. Do you guys leave the peeling of the cucumbers on? Seems like I read somewhere to peel them first if you wanted a milder cucumber flavor. I have seen Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, too. It was very inspirational. For me, seeing it was a Godsend. I don't fast like Joe and Phil, but I try to juice once or twice a day. My band won't allow me to eat many vegetables and fruits, so I love getting in these nutrients without having to stuggle. readytogoforit, my husband found out he has multiple ulcers (doctor estimated about 8 of them!). He has been losing weight and eating healthier and taking meds to help with the ulcer pain. I will have to let him know about the cabbage. That would be awesome if it could help him!

I have been thinking of buying a juicing recipe book too. I usually use kale, spinach, carrot, and apple every time and change up the other things I add. I WILL NOT use celery again. It didn't taste too bad while drinking it, but it left a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth. I brushed and brushed and couldn't get rid of the awful taste. Ugh, it was bad!

That sounds good! What else do you typically have with the red bell pepper and ginger? I have been wanting to try beets, but I'm not sure I will like it.

I recently purchased a juicer and I have had fun trying out new things. Here's one of my most used recipes. I will even have this for dinner many times and feel great about putting such great nutrients in my body. There is absolutely NO WAY I could eat near this many vegetables and fruits. It's really the one thing (besides scrambled eggs) that I can't eat much of anymore. 5-6 kale stalks 2 big handfuls of spinach 4 medium carrots 2 apples about 6 strawberries 1 lemon (peeling cut off) 1 lime (peeling cut off) *fresh ginger- optional (I sometimes use it and sometimes don't- be careful and only use a little because it can overpower the recipe....I use about 1/2 inch piece) I have been googling recipes, but it would be awesome to get some recipes that people have tried out and tested. Anyone that would share some of their favorite recipes would be greatly appreciated!
