Juice Cleanse Day 1

     So I made one of my juice recipes last to get started...and to test out how bad these juices were going to taste. I was surprised that it wasn't that bad at all. If anything it had less flavor then I expected but had a bit of a freshness kinda like a cucumber but there was very little in it which was surprising. My husband on the other had was trying really hard not to have to drink his juice. mostly because for obtimal health you should drink your juice at room temp and he's not used to it. So today the Veggies and fruit have been in the fridge over night so he should like it better now that it's cold for him.
     As for my bodies reaction to last night's juice...Holy Ta-lido! I was up last night for 2 hours going to the bathroom off and on. I will never need another laxative in my life as long as I have this juice recipe! I feel cleaner just from that alone and I lost two pounds!
     I am going to post the juices recipes along with my blog for the day but I want to let you know if you are making them in a juicer it's enough for one person. If you're using a vitamix blending system it's enough for two since you don't loose any of the fiber like you do with a juicer.


Breakfast:
All Green Vitamix Smoothie: 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice (I just used real Pineapple chunks), 1 1/2 Green Grapes, 1/4 Bartlett Pear, 1/4-1/2 Avocado (peeled and pitted), 1 Broccoli Floret, 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
If you're using a blender it's 3 cups of juice once it's been blended. If it's too thick for your liking you can always add more water as well.

Review: I added an extra cup of water to the mix which thinned it out to a nicer juice consistency. It made enough for two large tumblers around 4 cups. I really liked the flavor. You can't tell there's veggies in it. Nathaniel's take on it is it's drinkable...he's so helpful...Correction it's good drinkable...if that helps.

Lunch:
Detox Smoothie/Juice:
2 Apples, 1 carrot(peeled), 1/4 lemon (peeled), 1/4 bell pepper (I used a whole small sweet red), chunk of cucumber (1-2 inches) 1/4 a piece of Celery, 1 Broccoli Floret, Chunk of raw Beet Root, 1 1/2 cups water(only if blending).

Review: You could smell the pepper once it was mixed. This one tastes more like veggies then fruit but was as my husband stated still drinkable. Once you are off sugar for a couple days you will be able to pick up the sugar from the veggies and fruit better which will make it more appealing.
 This one also made enough to have 3-4 drinks so it's a good one to make earlier in the day and also use as a drink to nip at through the day when you're hungry.

Dinner
Mean Green Kale Machine:
6 Kale leaves (If blending you could use 3), 1/4 Lemon, 2 Apples, 1 Cucumber, 4 Celery stalks, lump of ginger, 1-2 cups water (only if blending)

Review: Oh dear god! I made it with 6 leaves which is why I would recommend less if you're blending not juicing. But I'm so glad I didn't start with this drink. This one is a hard one to get down. I ended up mixing it with left over of one of the other juices I had made up. So I would suggest you make up an extra batch of Apple Juice and do a half and half glass and slowly use less apple juice until you can drink it at the full recipe.
