Green goddess or the end of an affair
Since discovering Crussh I’ve been religiously drinking their juices. Especially the “green goddess” juice with a detox booster. Every morning I go there and ask for my juice although I presume that the people who work there already know what I want. Recently I’ve started doing wheatgrass shots as well. Yes, they taste absolutely disgusting but one small shot contains the equivalent nutrients to 1 and a half pounds of veggies. And that is so tempting. Even more so when I know I will not be able to survive the day without having something sweet or something “bad” and the only thing that washes the guilt away is a shot of wheatgrass.
As of today, however, I am afraid I will not be able to indulge in my green, disgusting yet oh so healthy habit since something terrible happened. I had my shot followed by a green goddess with the detox booster and a Tuscan vegetable soup for lunch and I got so sick that for one moment I thought I’ve had been actually doing tequila shots all morning. All the glorious nutrients went down the toilet after I had to run as fast as Forest Gump and fall down on my knees with my stomach in spasms. My colleagues probably think I suffer from bulimia but I certainly don’t have such problems.
I had to spend the rest of the day eating yogurt and toast in an attempt to soothe my stomach and try to avoid even thinking about wheatgrass and thus another visit to the bathroom. I couldn’t tell you for sure what caused such a bad reaction since this wasn’t the first time I had wheatgrass shots, but I can assure you there won’t be any in the future. I will stick with my greens and salads that I always have in restaurants or at home, thank you very much.
And thus, with puke we part. The moral of the story being that too much healthy stuff can make one really sick.
