Rawganic Vacation Time

As we were wrapping up our week and thinking about our super exciting trip to Puerto Rico, husband says:

"Do you think it would be ridiculous to bring our juicer?"

My response:

"Probably."

Husband says:

"I'm gonna bring it!"





So here we are with our juicer in our carry-on waiting to board! (The wheat grass is in our checked bag) 

I know that after traveling and in need of an energy boost I will turn to husband in gratitude as we indulge in our green juice:

2 handfuls Spinach
Stalks Celery
2/3 of a Cucumber
2 handfuls Kale
1/2 cup Daikon Radish
1/2 cup Mung Beans Sprouts
Ginger, apx. 1 inch chunk--ginger helps regulate body temperature, so I'm hoping it keeps me cool as I travel into tropic climates 😅

I try not to add fruit to my juices just cuz of all the excess sugar.

This means my juices taste, not....eh...the best. However, if you add just half an apple everything is much more palatable.-- make sure to leave the seeds in, they have healthful properties too!

This juice is high in zinc which supports the immune system.

Traveling--trapping yourself in a small room of a hundred people, thousands of feet in the air--always puts your immune response to the test.

Also, I am an anxious traveller and when stressed, the body will deplete its zinc rapidly!

I'm looking forward to a Happy and Healthy vacation! Expect the next post to be from the beach!
