Day Three and Feelin FREE!

At this point I'm wondering why everyone says day three is the hardest? I guess I lucked out because today I feel great! I woke up hungry with a craving for JUICE! This morning I had a delicious mason jar full of fruity heaven! 

2 Organic Apples

2 Organic Pears

2 Organic Oranges

Shall we call it 222? Ever have a sweet tooth, try this baby! 

Last nights juice was a whole different story. Word of advice, think twice before juicing kiwis with the skins still on.  Kiwis can be very acidic when they are not super ripe, needless to say my throat burned for about an hour after only drinking a few sips! Next time I plan on mixing kiwis in a juice, I think i'll try one on its own first. 

22.5 more days! But who's counting anyways?

Liquids Only!

Today is day 2/25 of my Liquids Only Challenge! 

I have done cleansing in the past but always found myself cheating and ending my fasts the worst ways possible! But this time there is not going to be any of that nonsense, nu-uh! 

Basically for the next 24 days my diet is going to consist of...

Fresh Raw Organic Juices

Smoothies

Water (Upwards of a GALLON a day)

Broths

Teas

Day One was actually surprisingly easy. This is what I consumed...

45oz of Raw Organic Juice

1 Gallon of Water

30oz Cocoa, Banana, Date Smoothie

A cup of warm broth 

I had no extreme hunger till around 10:00pm, and thats when I started dreaming of food, and not the healthy stuff.

Burrito..

Tuna Fish Sandwich..

Egg rolls..?

Now I haven't eaten any of those things in a very very long time, so why in the world was I craving these foods?

I guess I needed this cleanse more than I realized! 

Later on today I will post this mornings Juice and the rest to come so stay tuned!

Where Are You Getting Your Produce?

Do you feel like you're spending tons of money on your produce? And it's probably not even Organic! This is very easy to do. You have to get good at "shopping around" and picking out the best quality and quantity while still sticking within your budget. Most trips to the grocery store for me would result in DEPRESSION when I looked at what I spent, and what I actually got. We always tend to think we're getting a much better deal when we're at the grocery store. 

BUT THERE IS HOPE!

 I Promise

I recently looked at the CSA boxes in my area and when I did I signed up immediately! If you don't know- CSA stands for Community Support Agriculture. These are boxes filled full of Organic, Seasonal, Local and FRESH produce. It doesn't get any better than this! Do you hear the birds singing? The heavenly angles playing their harps? If you don't now you will once you see how much your wallet will benefit from this fantastic source! 

If you don't think there is a local CSA close to you, you may be wrong. I encourage anyone who wants to eat the healthiest, freshest food available at a great price to check out...

Keep Calm, Juice On!

Who ever said juicing ain't easy? Not only is it fast and nutritious, with the right combinations it can be quite delicious (cheesy rhyming is far underrated)! 

We have...

2 Organic Apples

2 Organic Pears

1 Bunch of Organic Romaine Lettuce

and.....

1 Small Bunch of Organic Itty Bitty Baby Broccoli! 

The freshness of the Apples and the sweetness of the Pears perfectly disguises those powerful greens! 

Yum! Hope you can find some enlightenment in your day!
