If it's made with water it's really bland. You could, if you want, add a pinch of salt. Or mix stuff in, like the other people already suggested. I personally like mixing in 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and then lot's of fruit. Smile

Actually, for me, I ate too many carrots. My doctor actually told me to stop having so many, and since I've cut back, my hands are getting less yellowy/orange. And no, I don't remember what shade my hands were 3+ years ago, before I stopped having my period. Probably normal pinkish (as that was when I wasn't too keen on carrots...or any veggies really)

I use the same tea/coffee mug all the time.

I prefer to use certain utensils. The others just don't feel right in my hands.

I have at least one apple everyday. Usually with breakfast.

 

I could challenge the mug and utensil thing. But I love my apples too much to change that habit.
