My students are dropping like flies - I had ten kiddos in my class today! While it is terrific-ly refreshing to have such a low number of bodies around the classroom, there is an increasingly high number of something else floating in the air- GERMS.
I have been battling a (ugh I hate to even say this four letter word) cold this weekend and have been pampering the hell out of myself to fight it. Extra vitamin Bs, upped my dose of echinacea, tried a new vitamin for stress, and ate everything and anything with extra nutrients (kale, throat coat tea, soup, OJ, garlic, kale). I have also been drinking what I like to call dirt juice.
I have been juicing and drinking green smoothies for five years now; however, I must admit, I tend to make my drinks more on the sweet side. That changed this weekend when I ordered juice #3 from Whole Foods - a blend of beets, carrots, celery, kale, and apples. I’m not sure if an orange was thrown in there too. I love each one of those ingredients individually, but combined....eh. It’s not horrible by any means...my interpretation of horrible is a scrambled egg or tuna fish. But it does taste like the ground a little bit. Taste aside - this drink is packed with a ton of vitamins and nutrients that will help fight whatever is going on in my body coupled with extra sleep and good foods. At least that’s my hope! Keep your fingers crossed for me...
