Welcome!

I have boldly decided to embark on a Juice Fast journey with my trusty Jack LaLanne juicer. Instead of verbally highlighting my everyday progress (or regress, let's hope not) to all my loved ones. Here lies a journal that will chronicle my everyday struggles and triumphs. Be inspired... or not.

Rollie Pollies on a Log

Here is a yummy twist on the good ol' Ants on a Log. Personally, I am not a fan of raisins but as I was sitting there with my son having an apple snack I asked my son if he would like to try some peanut butter on his apples. He declined because he loves his apples au natural. Peanut butter always reminds me of celery and that always brings me to Ants on a Log but I remembered my tub of freakishly large blueberries that I bought at Raley's and I thought, "Hmmm... I bet those would be good on celery with peanut butter...". Uhhhh... yeah! They were!

Vegan Chocolate Pudding

So, I haven't been posting due to... life. Anyway, instead of making this exclusively for juicing because the name of this blog emphasizes ENHANCED not EXCLUSIVELY and also since I haven't been tracking it. I'll throw in some healthy recipes that I have been making at home for me and my family. As far as juicing goes, I still juice daily but as a supplement. I still eat food.


Anyway, on to the point of this post... Vegan Chocolate Pudding. The term "vegan", I have heard, encompasses many things. Such as raw, unprocessed, organic, and non-animal derived. Whatever. To me it means absolutely no animal products. No lacto-, ovo- crap. I'm not a vegan by any means, I have just been working on reducing my animal product intake, as well as my family's. This recipe was inspired by a class presentation while I was in college and I have been making it for my family often.
