Beets

I am not a huge fan of beets...the way they taste! I love the color and the health benefits.  The taste...not so much.  Don't get me wrong, I used to eat dirt as a kid, but I feel like beets taste like the yucky brand of dirt.

I have been trying to widen my horizon veggie wise and I have a great smoothie that includes beets so I had some extra ones in my fridge. 

I figured it would be fun to juice them.

The color is amazing.

And guess what, I couldn't even taste it!

But I think I drank my 2 cups TOO FAST.

A few minutes after downing my juice I got lightheaded and it didn't go away for about an hour.

I could still function, but it was uncomfortable.

I am wondering if I had too fast of a fruit sugar rush.

I added a TON of very sweet tangelos from my friend's yard to offset the beets.

Offset I did...apparently!

Today's observation: I had leftover birthday cake and I didn't want any.  I ate it anyway, out of bad habits, but I didn't REALLY want it.  So why did I eat it then?  I don't even know.  But the important thing is that my craving for it wasn't there.
