The sprouted chick pea is king

Apple-Beet-Pineapple juice, is absolutely wonderful!

Thanks, veganpotter - I plan to get chick peas into the sprouting rotation

Thanks for the juice idea, andesuma - sounds awesome . I'll give it a try .

Making my first sprouted wheat pizza today. Can't wait 'til it's done

Whew - Hi everyone - I'm back .

A few posts back I mentioned that I needed to put together a sprouting schedule so I would have a continuous supply of sprouts as I needed them - took me awhile - but I've finally done that .

I've also been researching juicing and raw diet and getting a program put together to make sure I get all my nutrients naturally. I'm finally at a point where I have a system set up to make sure I get my nutrients in every day.

As far as juicing goes - does anyone know where I can find recipes that use all that pulp? I hate to waste anything and can't bring myself to throw the pulp out . I've found a few recipes that use carrot pulp - any suggestions for carrot, celery, beet, oh - and almond pulp that is left over from making almond milk.?

Thanks !!

Whew ! Have been switching more and more to raw and there is definitely cleansing go on here - sheesh !!

I am not brave enough to do a full cleanse at this point. I am going to begin doing a juice feast/fast one day a week and see how that goes. Still don't feel like I have the energy to get myself back in the gym but I'm definitely feeling like I'm on the right track and will keep pushing ahead

I'm at 100% raw now - with a Juice Feast in place for one day a week. Meal Plan made, going grocery shopping today - looking forward to feeling so much better .

I'm also feeling like I'm ready to head back to the gym for some cardio. Will let my body tell me when I am ready to start lifting again.

Back in the gym for some cardio today - felt good at the time. Sometimes, though - and I remember this from back when I was doing my martial arts - if I don't drink enough fluids before the workout I get a massive headache afterwords - it usually starts out small and gets worse and worse, doesn't go away until I take some aspirin or ibupro.

I started to get that headache today - hoping like crazy I wouldn't have to take any drugs, I meditated for an hour, then slept for another 1 1/2 hours. I have just a small bit of headache now that comes and goes. Glad it is much reduced and on the way out without using any drugs !!! Unfortunately taking the fluids after the fact doesn't help .

Feeling much better now - won't forget to drink my water in the morning any more
