Right now I am drinking a concoction that my mother says looks and tastes like sewage foam.  While I agree, it looks like what would happen if you threw Oscar the Grouch into the blender, I am forcing myself to drink down these 8 oz. of nutrients which according to Dr. Oz will give me amazing energy.  Right now I think the energy will present itself as excitement as a result of finally gulping down the last of this green gunk.

It’s a combination of fresh spinach, celery, cucumber, apples, lemon, lime, parsley, and ginger.  It makes for the most lovely color of green, and the ginger gives it a little kick.  The texture sort of feels like if you reached into the second stomach of a cow and pulled out the cud and threw that in a blender.  I’ve got like three more gulps and we’re through with this stuff.

Sadly, my mother refuses to drink more than the taste she had…  so there is another glass of this stuff waiting for me in the fridge.  I will have it again tomorrow, and then I think I am tossing this recipe out.  That is, of course, unless I discover that green gunge is the new fountain of youth, and I awake tomorrow 10 pounds lighter, 10 years younger, and exhibiting a healthy glow.  ugh, parsley aftertaste…

Well, thank you all for accompanying me through the health drink… I feel surprisingly full.  Or maybe grossing myself out has killed my appetite.  Either way, if you so desire to create your own green gunge… you can check out yesterday’s Parade magazine, or write me for the recipe.

Awaiting tomorrow’s results!

As ever,
