detox juicing

   as you may or may not know I have dabbled in juicing this past year. i LOVE it. seriously. it makes me feel great. i haven't been consistent because my juicer is a freakin' monster~like a huge monster with a teensy tiny produce insert tube, a cup that vibrates out of it's place while you're juicing, and it leaves behind large pieces of pulp. that's one way to know that you have a shooie juicer is the pulp is moist and large.
   
   that's why i have decided that once i pay off my last credit card (yay!!) that i will purchase a breville and a subscription to birch box.<<< more on that later. when you plan to use a machine daily or more than once daily you should really invest in it. i have done a lot of research and comparing, and this is going to be the best juicer for us. it will be easy to pull out my produce and just pop it in the juicer, get the most juice out of the produce, easy to clean, prepare the perfect amount of juice for just two people, have *fine *dry pulp, have two speed setting for soft and hard produce....and the list goes on. basically, i dream about it and i can't wait. 

   but that's not what this post is about. i've completely gotten off track with taking good care of myself in between school and working full time. i've just been exhausted by it all. but as mountain man would say "we just have to stop being so d**n lazy." so, to start my body off right i'm doing a 3 day juicing detox! yay.

  because i have a shooie juicer i'm keeping it simple. for christmas i got the everything juicing book. although, i've done a lot of reading and research on juicing this book is where i'm getting my detox. 
   
   right when i wake i will have a hot glass of water with lemon. this gets your digestive system moving!
  
   i'll have a green juice for breakfast. everyone does this a little different but i like mine to taste green.

green juice:

• 2-3 kale leaves
• 1 -1.5 cups of spinach
• 2 celery sticks (including the white and leaves! FIBER)
• 1 cucumber
• 2-3 carrots
• 1 pear OR 1 red apple (to make it a little sweet)

     because i'm just doing three days i'm sticking to the same cleansing juice for the rest of the day. the cleansing juice i'll be drinking is apple grapefruit. its simply that: 

apple grapefruit:

• 2 red apples
• 1/2 pink grapefruit

DONE!

   if i'm feeling weak i'll have another green juice. during this cleanse if i feel the need to eat it will need to be limited to soft foods like a soup broth with soft veggies or some kind of fruit smoothie without milk. i'm trying to stay away from dairy these three days as well. 

Wont you join me???
