QUESTION and Today and tomorrow's to do

HELP I NEED HELP!  QUESTION:  I want to do a 2 day juice fast to get my digestive system moving (lovely side effect from narcotics TMI YES I KNOW).  Do I need a juicer to make vegetable juice or can I just use my blender, b/c seriously juicers are like $100 and I DO NOT have that kind of cash?

I baby sat today. Naomi and I had a great time playing

Absolutely you can make juice - even vegetable juice - in a blender. It's better and easier if it's a high power one, but that doesn't matter. You tube has lots of videos about making green juice. Most people recommend straining the juice using nut milk bags - I'm sure a mesh colander or even pantyhose (preferable unused) would do the trick.

Thank you! You are a life saver! :) :) :)

Yeah I would totally stick with a blender. I worked at a Smoothie King for like two years and all we used were blenders. I think you should try to put veggies in there too though; idk I think they help :) There's that Benefiber stuff too which is this powder you can put in like anything, it's tasteless.

Ok. Cool. Thank you. I did get some of that powder stuff the other day. I will see how it turns out in the morning. If it fails I will see what other options I can figure out.

Oh, the joys of narcotics...

I dunno if you've already tried this, but oatmeal does wonders for me in that regard.

[cindy_lou_who8]

I really, really hate oatmeal. Do you have a way to sneak it in something so I don't know it is there? :)

[theonlymeyouget]

LOL nope, sorry. Cookies is about all I can come up with.

[cindy_lou_who8]

Awwww darn! LOL. It's all good. :)

Thankfully that particular side-effect has been passing me by because I have to take imodium daily anyway because of irritable bowel syndrom yay! But yeah, a blender will do the trick. Also, the usual suspects: kiwi's, prunes, and I've been told the fake kind of chocolate (the one fit for diabetics) works like a charm as well. *hugs* good luck
