Mean Green Juice
Hello there, I am a returning member and have recently completed the reboot program. As I fill out my food diary, I see there are several mean green juice options and some differ in calories. Anyone know why that is and which one I should use? I am currently using the one that says reboot mean green. Any thoughts??

What type of oil would be best for these?
http://detoxinista.com/2012/10/homemade-peanut-butter-cups/ I want to try to make these without coconut oil. I don't want to use olive oil because it would make them taste funny, I don't want to use butter and Coconut oil isn't as healthy as people say it is....plus, it's expensive. Canola oil isn't healthy, either....but…

Still track calories on days that you've gone WAY over?
When I track all my calories and see all the food listed down, I'm less likely to "fall off the wagon." But there are days that I have gone out (partying) with friends, had lots of cocktails and appetizers. Those are the days that I don't bother to track because I've gone WAY over my calories allowed. Denial. LOL Are there…

Cuties. . . Genetically modified or not?
I was just curious if the Cuties mini oranges are genetically engineered, or if they really do grow that way. Are they a specific type of fruit, like a mandarin orange, or am I way off? If you can back up your answer with some proof, that would be helpful. Thank you! :flowerforyou:

I used to drink a pop every Friday and Saturday night as a 'treat' for my week. Does anyone have or know of any recipes (that don't have pop) to make non-alcoholic drinks that are different. I'm still looking to splurge Friday and Saturday evenings, but I don't want the fizz and calories of pop.
