Post Thanksgiving Detox

1 Reply

Hello and Happy Holidays Everyone!!

I am back after a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  I spent so much time with family, Erik, friends and the doggies eating some delicious food, going on beach walks (gotta love SoCal), resting, drinking, and being oh so merry ;-)  Cheesy I know, but I cannot help it during the holidays.

As much as I loved indulging and enjoying Thanksgiving, it’s time to get back on track.  I’ll be doing a light cleanse for a few days this week {see:as long as I can take it}.  I’ll be preparing fresh juices everyday, with maybe a cup of steamed veggies at night for fiber (and sanity).

Even though I won’t be doing any crazy cooking this week {juice, juice juice}, I don hope to knock out a new cookie recipe, maybe some holiday DIY decorations.  We shall see :-)

Until then, have a wonderful week and enjoy all Holiday Cheer!!

Raw Foods and Juice Cleanse

Leave a reply

I know I posted a yummy cookie recipe earlier, but that’s old news now.  Those babies are long gone.  Today is day two of my raw foods and juicing cleanse.  Oh,  oh and my super supportive boyfriend is doing it too!  I totally didn’t bribe him that on the last day I would make him an awesome raw dessert either ;-) .  Anyhow, we thought it would be a nice break for our bodies since summer has been so busy with traveling, eating out, BBQ’s, boozing, etc.  This is soooo much easier than that Juice Cleanse I did a few months back.  Ay!  That was a toughie!

We have been sticking to a smoothie a day to get in our supplements.  We are also having a couple big juices (recipes coming soon), light salads, and raw veggies with raw hummus.  It feels good to give our bodies a break and fill them with only real, raw foods.

Here was yesterday and today’s smoothie mix (pretty much everyday’s breakfast)

In the blender:

  • 1 frozen banana
  • about 4 chunks of frozen pineapple - aids in digestion
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • several pinches of the following:  Flax seed (fiber), hemp powder (protein), maca powder (superfood), and reishi powder (immune booster)

Blend and enjoy!

Be back tomorrow with some super cleansing and energy boosting juices
