Day 140: Prep & More!

It's time to cleanse and I am excited that some of you will be joining me on these next few days ...

Most detox mixtures (like the lemon/cayenne pepper/honey mix) just lift the toxins into the bloodstream. When you stop the detox your body re-absorbs the toxins hence weight again. 

Solution: practice a deeper cleanse (green smoothie) as the first meal of the day

(Lunch too!)  to not only lift but to release toxins so weight drops completely. 

Here are my recipes that I will be using for now ... let me know what you are using and we can share!

Green Smoothie (made in the blender)

                             

(~4 servings)

1.5 cup spring water or more

1 head romaine lettuce

4 stalks celery

1 bunch cilantro (optional)

1 bunch parsley

1 bag spinach

1 whole lemon

2 apples

2 pears

1 banana

- Rinse all fresh produce

-Chop into small pieces then feed into blender.  IMPORTANT – otherwise your blender will get stuck!

-Add small amounts of water as you go to keep solution moist.

-Container will fill 2-3xs!  Please empty into large pitcher each time.

-Makes ~4 -5 servings.

*Its an acquired tastes so beginners may also like to add unsweetened fruit juice or carrots to the drink. 

 

  

I will also be mixing in my Green Lemonade ... here is the recipe again:

 

Green Lemonade (made in the juicer)

 

1 head romaine lettuce

5-6 leaves of spinach, kale, collards, celery, or dandelion greens, etc. (I use kale

1 whole lemon – peel, seeds, and all (Meyer lemons are sweeter)

2 fuji apples, cored (use 3 if you want to make it sweeter)

 

Juice and drink up right away.

Ok ...

There are a few ways you can do this -

1. Drink the green smoothies/lemonade for breakfast and lunch ... then for dinner eat a piece of fish or chicken with steamed veggies. 

or

 

2. Drink the green smoothies/lemonade for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  

 

I like to do things in small steps - try it out for ONE day ... see how you feel - you may be ready to stop or you may be ready to try ONE more day ... before you know it, you have done it longer than you could have imagined.  You can do this and we will do it TOGETHER.

 

 

 HAPPY GREEN!!!
