A night out eating processed food or tasty cold beers on a patio can leave you feeling sluggish and tired. If this sounds like you, try revitalizing your body with a quick 3 day all natural juice and veggie cleanse.
A cleanse made with veggies and fruit can infuse your body with essential nutrients and minerals your body needs to feel energized without the need to purchase expensive detox pills and diets. The one I set out below can be completed in as little as 3 days or up to 7 days. If you have never done a detox, I recommend starting with 3 day cleanse.
Here is how to do it:
Day 1-3
Step 1: Squeeze the juice from the lemon in a hot cup of water and drink upon rising. Wait one hour until breakfast.
Step 2: One hour later, follow with a breakfast smoothie of either fruit, veggies or both. You can blend your favorite vegetables and fruits together. I love adding spinach to all my smoothies. My favorite smoothie is strawberries, grapefruit, a quarter banana and spinach blended together with a few ice cubes and water.
Step 3: Lunch and dinner is the same as step 2. Fruit or veggies smoothie of your choice.
Day 4- Begin to introduce protein powder in your breakfast, lunch and dinner shakes.
Day 5- Slowly introduce unprocessed foods such as chicken, fish, quinoa, steamed veggies and salad with light dressing on Day 5.
Important Notes:
If at anytime your feeling hungry, feel free to snack on vegetables or fruit. You can opt for a salad, no dressing. For taste, squeeze lemon.
Drink lots of water to flush out your body. Recommended intake is 6-8 cups a daily.
If you're a coffee or tea drinker like I am, this means absolutely no coffee/tea for the duration of the cleanse.
For a 7 day cleanse follow steps 1-3 (in day 1-3 above) for 5 days. On day 6, introduce protein powder to your smoothies your breakfast, lunch and dinner shakes. On day 7, you can slowly introduce unprocessed foods such as fish, chicken and salad.
Enjoy & stay charged!!!
