Day 3 was great. I went to get my hair done so I actually skipped my lunch smoothie. I didn't plan to be gone for as long as I was (I had other errands I had to run) so I didn't bring it with me as I did yesterday. I wasn't hungry all day! Honestly, I didn't even "eat" "dinner" until very late. I've read that on cleanses/fasts that the more you do them actually the more energy you have--this was definitely the case today. I cleaned the whole house, I did all the laundry, ran lots of errands, and still felt energized and not hungry!
DINNER SMOOTHIE
Delciousness Factor (1-10): 10
Ingredients:
- Blueberries
- Coconut Water
- Kale
- Mango
- Lemon
- Avocado
- Cayenne Pepper
- Flaxseeds
This was definitely my favorite smoothie. I've thought that I will make this again even when I'm not detoxing. When I was making this ahead, I though "cayenne peper and blueberries...yikes". But it was delicious. This smoothie is SPICY too! It really has a kick to it to make it interestingly delicious. I figured out why they have you drink this at night before your bath...the pepper helps open the pores to detox more in the bath! Definitely helped! This smoothie is also just as filling as the rest, kept me full until morning when I had my tea and breakfast smoothie!
Overall I loved this detox and definitely would do it again.
Pros
- Felt great
- It was only 3 days!
- Smoothies were great
- The bath is amazing
- Felt like it worked ridding the toxins from my body--felt like I didn't "need" caffeine on my next early morning trip, felt like I didn't crave a sugary food like I normally do around 3pm.
Cons
- Start up costs make it expensive (lavendar oil, flaxseed, coconut oil, stevia, the multi vitamins, epsom salt). If you don't already have these it can jump up your shopping list's cost quite a bit. But now that I have these items, the next time I do this I won't have as much costs. I really only need to buy the fresh fruits and veggies.
- The Lunch Drink was awful. The second day, because I was hungry I think it was more manageable...but on the 3rd day when I skipped the lunch and came home just the thought of the lunch drink made me gag. I have read that you should chop the celery up before blending it and it helps... who knows.
