Day 1 Cleanse Complete

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great day! I was up super late last night making sure the severe weather did not come into our area. Thankfully it did not, but others were not as fortunate and my thoughts and prayers are with them. Hopefully the southern plains will not have to experience very much more (fingers crossed). 

Today was the first day of my cleanse. I woke up and drank some warm water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to get started. About 30 minutes later I was ready for my "Glow" juice. It contains green apple, cucumber, celery, collard greens, spinach, kale and spearmint. This one was pretty good!
Breakfast

Before I headed to the gym, I had my mid-morning "Fuel" juice containing carrot, apple, pineapple, orange, lemon and tumeric. The carrot and pineapple really popped in this one. Carrot juice is my FAVORITE and I could drink it everyday. My husband calls it my "Carrot Dirt", hence where I got the name for my blog :)

When I got back from the gym, I drank my "Purify" lunch juice containing carrot, apple, celery, cucumber, lemon and beet. 
Lunch

My mid-afternoon juice"Fiji" contained apple, celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, collard greens, lemon and ginger. The cucumber was strong in this one so I enjoyed it very much! On this cleanse you can incorporate fresh organic fruits and veggies as well. Since I had a good workout this morning, I ate a fresh red apple along with this juice. 
Afternoon Snack
Last but not least, dinner, I had my "Green Supreme" juice containing kale, green apple and lemon followed by the "Vanilla Cloud" dessert. I will have to admit "Green Supreme" was hard to drink. It's not that it was necessarily unpleasant tasting it is just that the kale/lemon was overpowering. Add to that, I was not very hungry to begin with and was really craving something with actual texture. In order to get some texture to compliment this juice, I ate some honeydew melon, strawberries, and cherries.

Dinner
The "Vanilla Cloud" dessert is out of this world! It is absolutely delicious! It contains almond milk, coconut milk, vanilla bean, honey, filtered water, nutmeg and cinnamon. Yum yum!!!! 
Dessert
All in all, day one was fairly easy! I am sure tomorrow will be a little more tough. I am going to incorporate some fresh vegetables tomorrow. I will keep y'all updated! 

Have a great night everyone!!
