2009 Global Juice Feast!!!

Hello All!

It is about that time again! Spring cleaning time!!

The Second Annual Global Juice Feast is set to begin on Saturday, March 7, 2009, so head on over to www.JuiceFeasting.com and www.GlobalJuiceFeast.com and see what all the fuss is about.

As always with an exciting journey, many just couldn't wait to start and I'm noticing Juice Feasting blogs sprouting up everywhere.

Of note are the resplendent Penni Shelton and Courtney Pool, who are both experienced Juice Feasters we are all lucky to share the journey with. If you are just about to begin your first Feast, you will be in excellent company with these two, so be sure to check in with them.

Both Penni and Courtney are setting out to do short (although 30ish days isn't really all that short is it?) Feasts this spring, which is a great idea for a second Juice Feast.

David and I like to recommend after doing an extended 30 or 60 or 92 Day Juice Feast that shorter cleanses of 10 to 30 days can be done twice a year (spring and fall) It is important to remember that as with anything, it is possible to over do it with Juice Feasting! Please make sure that you are balancing your cleansing periods with long periods of a nutrient-dense, maintenance diet of good, whole foods, exercise, sunshine and LOVE!!!

While David and I will not be Juice Feasting this year, we will be joining you with our daily quart of GVJ (Green Vegetable Juice!) and popping into both The Green Room (JuiceFeasting.com's membership forums) and Global Juice Feast to see how things are going.

I will not be Juice Feasting due to the beautiful baby growing in my belly, and David having done 10 days in January of Juice Feasting is feeling happy to continue eating after a cold, gray, Canadian winter.

If you have a Juice Feasting Blog you would like mentioned here, please let us know! One lovely lady is already off and running on Day 15 of her Juice Feast, head over and say hello to Blueberry.

You may also find it fun to peruse some of the blogs listed at the right. I had a lot of fun blogging during the 2008 Global Juice Feast, and that journey starts HERE.

Also be sure to check out our website at www.JuiceFeasting.com where you can learn all about HOW to Juice Feast under the Juice Feasting Intro!

Wondering about signing up for one of our memberships? David and I were honored by this recent comment left by someone in response to a question on GlobalJuiceFeast.com about the value of a JuiceFeasting.com membership:

"I started my JF membership as the shortest membership term because I wasn't sure about the amount and quality of the information that would be provided. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised. The content is great and is updated fairly regularly. I have recently splurged for the annual membership. Although the downloads can be saved for later viewing (as long as you also save the passwords), it is really nice to be able to follow along and refer back to the JF website as you go... at least for me. In the grand scheme of things, the annual membership is only about the cost of a few weeks of produce for your Juice Feast."

and this one:

"$30 to begin with are well worth it. There is cool info out for everyday, videos etc. stuff to keep your mind on topic in case you feel urges, esp late at night (I have that prob!). You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck. I did the 92days without membership last year and now realize a lot of questions would have been answered in detail by the daily "wisdom" that the Rainosheks have compiled. The forum is busy with fellow global juice feasters but the member site is just some more extra value."

Awwwwww! Thanks you guys! We can't tell you how much notes like this mean to us!

With that, I will leave you with this morning's Green Juice Recipe enjoyed by David, Baby in the belly and I!

1/2 cucumber
1 zucchini
1 head of broccoli
1 head of romaine lettuce
4 leaves of kale
2 beets
2 apples

YUM!! And lots of calcium for growing baby bones and iron for little cells needing it!

Enjoy your juice dear friends, we hope to hear from you in The Green Room or on Global Juice Feast soon!

LOVE!!!

Katrina

PS. If you haven't yet, check out the video in the post below for some folks discussing their health a year Post-Juice Feast!

Oh and PPS!! Angela Stokes' book A Juice Feaster's Handbook is an excellent addition to any Juice Feast! So is her blog!!

2008 Global Juice Feaster's Reunion!

Hello All!

Well here we are in March of 2009, and thanks to some inspiration from Bronwyn, all of us now in Victoria who did the Global Juice Feast in 2008 got together for a little reunion.

As you will see in the video I was working behind the counter at Cafe Bliss and missed hearing everyone's Post-Juice Feast story...I just now watched the video and was so excited to hear everyone sharing how well they are doing! Continuing to spiral upwards in the never ending flow of growth!

If you are planning on joining the 2009 Global Juice Feast, starting this coming Saturday, March 7, be sure to watch these seasoned Juice Feasters (David, Bronwyn, Constanze, Ayrie, Robyn, and I) for some wonderful inspiration....oh the joys of fresh, raw juice!!

Enjoy!



LOVE!!!!

Katrina (who is still loving her Green Vegetable Juice!)

Feeling yummy!! 5 1/2 months!!!
