Purchasing Frozen Green Juice
Hi MFP!! Has anyone ever bought a bunch of frozen green juices for a juice cleanse? I'm thinking about purchasing frozen cold-pressed juices, but obviously some of the nutrient value will be lost, but I still think it might be worth it... Part of me thinks it might be cheaper to just juice my own and have it fresh (and…

Adidas Mask Pocket Question

Food is Boring - Bring back the excitement!
I've been so bored with food lately. Can anyone recommend a good site with EASY recipes that are healthy (and preferably low-carb)? I am not much of a chef, and some of the recipes I like are really involved so I rarely make them, and then I just end up eating quick, junky things a lot of the time. (Probably my biggest…

Still on a running high (beginner runner)
On October 3, I had a really really depressing day. By the morning of the 4th, I had decided to quit my negative streak and go for a run. About 3 years ago, I tried running with the C25K program, and I ended up running 3 consecutive minutes before I injured my ankle and couldn't run anymore. In 2012, I got insoles for my…

Sore ankle - Please help
I was running the Couch to 5k running program until week 3, when it called for two 3 minute runs. During the runs, I seemed to hurt my ankle, and it was really bad the next morning. Since then, it's been pretty good, but the little achy pain won't go away, and if I walk (fast), or do Zumba, it starts to act up again. I can…

Tomato-less Pasta Sauce?
Does anyone know of any tomato-less pasta sauces? I'm allergic to tomatoes, and have been looking for substitutes all over the place.
