Day 5

Today started with a juice at 9:30 a.m.
Morning juice:
1 organic apple
1 handful of organic carrots
2 sprigs of organic kale
a small pinch of organic wheatgrass
1/2 an organic orange
1/2 a cup of R-O water to make it go further, since today's juice was liked by my 2-1/2 year old (she's liked them all so far), and I gained my 8-year-old on this one.  5-1/2 year old didn't like it.  This amount was enough for about a 1/2 a cup for Julianne and a sip for Cassie, and a nice sized glass for me. 

Early afternoon juice at 1pm:
1 apple
1/2 orange
handful of carrots
1 sprig of kale
a couple sprigs of curly parsley
2 small strawberries
It was really good! I juiced a rainbow!


My juicer had a party!


So here's my topic of research today:
Taking care of wheat grass.  If you have experience, please let me know.
Does it go in the fridge to keep growing?
Do you split it up and put it in dirt?
How in the world do you get it to juice?  I put it through twice with a folded leaf of kale and didn't notice any juice from it.
