Sunday Morning

Food: 12-oz juice with kale, spinach, apples, ginger, lemon, and parsley

Body: a 90-minute walk around Manhattan

Mind: donating towels and blankets to Hurricane Sandy Relief

As Sandy cleanup progresses around the city, it's been inspiring to see everyone coming together to help.  After walking to a donation collection near my apartment, I stumbled upon a great health store and juice bar called Simply Natural.  They have an extensive - and extremely well-priced - menu, including juices and smoothies.  And while to the untrained eye, this beverage looks like slime, it's crisp, refreshing, and nutrient-dense. I will definitely be back! 

Nutritional Highlights: 200% daily value vitamin A; 250% daily value vitamin C; 240% daily value vitamin K; 2 grams of fiber

Thursday Morning

Food: kale-spinach-parsley-cucumber-apple-lemon-ginger juice

Body: 8 hours of sleep!

Mind: waking up early enough to have a slow, relaxed start to the morning

I have become quite hooked on Brooklyn Crepe and Juice Bar's Super Green juice.  It tastes amazing, and having a 32-ounce cup of it for breakfast just feels like a great start to the day.  (It also doesn't hurt that the people who work there are incredibly friendly!) My hope is to buy a juicer of my own soon and try some recipes, like one of these four green juice recipes from Well+Good NYC.

Nutritional Highlights: over 100% daily value of vitamins A and C; nearly 20% daily value of fiber

Saturday Morning

 Food: Super Green Juice (Kale, Cerely, Parsley, Apple, Spinach, Cucumber + Lemon and Ginger)

Body: A 15-minute walk around Brooklyn, where most of the trees are still bright green.

Mind: Catching up on pleasure reading on the train

Saturday was a beautiful day to live in Manhattan.  It was sunny in the high-60s/low-70s, and people were in an especially friendly mood.  I was in Brooklyn to get a bit of work done, and decided to stop by the highly-rated Brooklyn Crepe and Juice Bar.  The men working there were incredibly friendly and helpful as I order their famous Super Green Juice.  It was the perfect breakfast: rejuvenating, nutrient-dense, and "one-hand-required" so I could use my other hand to read while on the train back to the city!
