So my husband (Ben) and I have spoken for awhile about doing a juice fast but just hadn't felt, before now, that the time was right. Well with us both enjoying the long holiday weekend we figured this would be the best time! We are doing a mix between Reboot with Joe and Juice Lovin Cleanse by The Belly Fit Club.
We started off our morning with hebal tea-I did peppermint and Ben did black cherry. We followed this up with (about 30min-an hour later) The Belly Fit Club's Master Cleanse Lemonade.
For breakfast Ben enjoyed carrot, apple, pineapple and ginger juice and I did Apples,Beets, sweet potato, lemon, cucumber, celery juice...it really is yummy!!
We had alot to do, including running to the farmers market for more supplies. The day unfortunately got away from us and we did chores around the house. Lunch time was upon us and we had enough supplies to make mean green juice for lunch. We had some more herbal tea as snacks and drank alot of water.
Well after we made the customary drop off of Cordelia to her Papa we made it to the farmers market...but by this time our will power was zero! So as soon as our cleanse started it was over sushi and donuts ensued!
These were bitter sweet. |
Even though we didn't complete a 3 day "reboot"/"cleanse" we came away with some valuable information.
- Prepare, prepare, prepare! We will definitely be making the trip to the farmers market before hand and even making up some juice ahead of time so we can sip on it throughout the day.
- Don't do it over a holiday weekend. We were invited out for Easter dinner and the lure of ham, baked potatoes and dessert was too much for us to resist.
We haven't picked a future date just yet, but when we do I'll let you know how we get on!
Interesting... never done a juice fast. Normal, yes, years back but one of this nature no!
