Category Archives: Cleansing

So here’s the low-down on what I ate today.  Since I am in recovery mode from the holidays, there is a bunch of green juice to get my nutrient levels back to where they should be…I guess you could say I am doing a cleanse of sorts.

6am – 32 ounces of water with an entire lemon squeezed in

8:15am – 20 ounces of green juice (made in my Breville juicer)

RECIPE (this made enough for the day)

• kale stems that I saved from making kale chips
• mixed greens
• 5 carrots
• 1 huge cucumber
• 1/2 head of napa cabbage

10am – handful of raw nuts… almonds, walnuts, pecans

1pm – 16 ounces of green juice (made in the morning and put in a 16 ounce mason jar filled to the lid in order to prevent oxidation…a trick I got from Kris Carr)

2:30pm – green smoothie

RECIPE

Blend all of the ingredients in the blender.  I use my Vitamix since it completely emulsifies everything.  If you don’t have a Vitamix, any blender will work…you may have to add some more liquid to get it all to blend.

• ½ cup So Delicious Cultered Coconut Milk
• ½ cup to ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• Huge handful of spinach
• 1 cucumber
• 1 cup of carrots
• ½ apple
• ½ avocado
• 2 dates for sweetness
• 1 scoop of vegan (soy free) protein powder (I like Plant Fusion)
• 1 tsp each of maca, spirulina, chlorella, and coconut oil
• 1 scoop Amazing Grass wheat grass powder
• 2 handfuls of ice

4pm – the rest of the green smoothie

6pm – brown rice, baked beans (recipe from weelicious.com), roasted brussel sprouts

7pm – 3 Cuties tangerines
