- Me & My Liquid Health
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
