I’ve gotten a few questions about our juice fast.
First, we haven’t chosen a specific program or book to follow. We’re totally going freestyle. I read through two juice cleanse books but they both seemed to include a lot of yoga, meditation, daily themes, etc. Not for us – we just want the juice!
Second, our plan. Juicing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe an afternoon juice for me. Water in between. I drink cranberry juice if I’m bored of water.
Third, recipes! The internet is a fabulous resource! Here’s a few of the recipes we’ve used this week.
Berryliciousness
1 cup blackberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup cherries, pitted
2 stalks celery
1 lemon
1/2 inch piece of ginger
Pina (pineapple is supposed to help alleviate menstrual cramps – tried it and it worked!)
1/2 pineapple
1 stalk celery
1 lemon, peeled
1/2 inch piece of ginger
1 pint blueberries
Orangey
6 carrots
cantaloupe (I’ve prechopped my cantaloupe so I juice the carrots and then add cantaloupe until I’ve got a full glass of juice)
Simple Apple
2 apples
1 bell pepper
Spinach-y
2 cups spinach
1 handful parsley
4 carrots
1 stalk celery

Thanks for posting those recipes! There’s a few on there I hadn’t seen before. I’m going to try the kale/orange later today.
I love that one – hope you like it too!
