Cleansing Challenge!



Day One. Stop telling yourself that you are going to get healthy tomorrow. It's time right here, right now. I challenge you to 3 days of juicing and smoothies, raw it up! Summer is around the corner and we should look and feel our best. I used almond milk (can use coconut water as well) as my base and added like fruit and vegetables colors together. I would mix mango and banana together, below is the recipe.

Recipe #1 

yields 1 serving

1/3 cup almond milk
1/2 green apple, diced
1/2 avocado
1/2 lime, juiced
5 pieces of ice
1/2 orange, juiced
1 tsp honey

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, 2-3 minutes.

Recipe #2

yields 1 serving 

1/3 cup almond milk
1/2 yellow peach, diced
1/2 banana, sliced

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, 2-3 minutes

Recipe #3

yields 1 serving

1/2 mango, peeled and diced
1/2 banana, sliced
1/4 cup pineapple
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup almond milk

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, 2-3 minutes

If sometimes you are so hungry and you are too lazy to make a smoothie, I bought juices at whole foods. There are expensive ones and then there are inexpensive which taste similar. Pick your poison. I have only tasted the blue dream from Suja Elements and it was really good. It was only around $4. In a day, you are drinking 3 meals and 2 snacks so that is why there is five in the picture. After the first day, you might feel so hungry, try to work out or go for a walk. Keep yourself active in order for the mental part go away! It's all in your head. Don't let another day go by without getting on the bus. Be the driver, not the passenger!
