Day 1 of a juice fast - doing this again. I was expecting to go to a spa-like place beginning tomorrow and be taken care of and drink juices and eat sprouts for a couple/few weeks. Those plans didn't pan out (dammit) so I decided to do a juice fast for a few days anyway. It won't be the same, but it will be fine.
I woke up this morning and had a cup of tea. I decided to have smooth move tea for some dumbass reason.
My first juice was:
2 stalks celery
2 small beets
4 carrots
1 bunch kale
this made about 32 oz veggie juice. it wasn't super sweet but it was good.
I had some water later in the afternoon.
somewhere around 3 I was hungry again so I made a big big juice of
pineapple
oranges
1 bunch kale
1 stalk celery
I kept the pineapple and oranges separate - the color was beautiful. the juicer that I use is more like a smoothie in a way - pulpy and yummy. It makes a lot of juice come out. I added some of the fruit juice with the greens and drank it down and then feasted on the pineapple and orange juice. SOOOOO yummy.
I read a bit and then took a nap with the dogs. Very sweet. It was cold in the house though so I was grateful for 2 warm dogs to curl up with.
Woke up, took the dogs out for a walk, fed them their dinner and then made myself a big juice. I liked that pineapple orange so much that I decided to have it for dinner. This time:
2 stalks celery
4-5 oz sunflower sprouts
pineapple
oranges
This time I put the whole thing together. It made about 40 oz of juice. DELICIOUS. Easy to drink.
So now the time is 8 pm and I'm loving feeling full but not stuffed and gross feeling. Day one was a good day. Let's hope I have as much of a good day tomorrow. :-)
all love,
Linda
