Juice detox

So, I'm back at it again. But...I'm going to take my time with it. This week I will consume my vegtable/fruit mix for two days then each week I will increase the days until I do 5 days in a row. Why, well just because I'm not mentally prepared to do 5 day detox.

I would like to mention I have not gained back any weight since my last detox. I have maintained my weight and I'm following a vegan diet.

Mix #1, which taste better than I expected
1 medium beet
1 grape fruit
2 green apples
3 inch piece of ginger
3 stalks of red kale
4 cups of coconut water
All blended together with 3 tps of spirulina in the Vitamix

Mix #2, honestly not as tasty as I expected
1 green apple
1.5 cups of strawberries
2 carrots
.5 cucumber
3 inch ginger
3 stalks of red kale
All blended together with 3 tps of spirulina in the Vitamix

Happy new year

I know I haven't posted in a while, life and work has kept me busy. I still have been juicing but not as much as I should. I took the time to go to the food coop and but a bunch of fruits and veggies. Last night I prepared enough for two days of juice.

2 green apples
1 gala apple
2 celery stalk
2 inch of ginger
Half an avocado
Half a beet
A handful of parsley
2 carrots
Half a mango
3 stalks of kale
1 lemon squeezed
3tsp of spirulina

This was all blended in my 8 cup Vitamix blender. I add 4 cups of water, blend it, and then took some out and added another cup of water, because I wanted a smoother consistency.

This is 10 servings of fruits and veggies. More than I could eat in a day but I can drink it just fine.
