Juice Detox: Day 10/10

Well I did it!!! I made it to the 10th day. My body feels amazing, my mind is much more clearer and my energy level is through the roof!! I enjoyed every minute of this juicing detox process. If you are committed and determined to get your body healthy and rid it of all the toxins....this is the process to do!

I have talked to a lot of people about this process, just since I have been doing it, and if you take it seriously and do exactly what needs to be done you will succeed. This isn't something you can half ass and only do some of the detoxing. The number 1 step is to cut out ANY and ALL caffeine!! If you don't, then you are defeating the purpose of the whole detox process.

I plan on blogging more here with healthy food recipes and choices. Also I will be juicing everyday still, so I will have many new juicing recipes as well. I want to thank you, my family and friends for all of the support they gave me through this process. I even recruited a few people to do the detox and start juicing for a healthy life! Happy Juicing!!! :)

I lost 11 lbs and 7.5 inches!!

Juice Detox : Day 9/10

    Today was a great saturday. Felt fabulous all day...wow my energy level is crazy high!! ;) I woke up this morning, made the kids and hubby breakfast and made myself a green lemonade. As I was sitting at the table with my family I was on my tablet searching for some good healthy home made vegetable broths to make . I found one and decided to modify it to what I had in my fridge.

I am sorry I didn't take any pictures of this recipe, but next time I make I will make sure to and update this post. ;) This is so simple and smelled so yummy. Look forward to heating up in sauce pan and drinking. Or you can save for later and use in cooking recipes.

Simple Vegetable Broth
Ingredients include any vegetables you may have in the fridge. This is what I put into my broth:
* 6 carrots
* 1 bunch celery
* 1 onion
* 1 tes. minced garlic
* 1 bunch broccoli
* 1 small balm full of peppercorns
* water
This recipe also called for vegetable oil, but I did'nt want to add anything like that.

Cooking Directions:

Use a large pot. Chop up onion, carrots, broccoli,  celery, add to warm pot. Add garlic and as much water to submerge all vegetables.  About 2 1/2 cups. Cover and bring to a boil. Ster and reduce heat to med. Cook for 1 hour. Stering occasionally.  Remove from stove top and strain the broth into a container with an air tight lid. You also might need to use a cheese cloth after the first staining. Throw away vegetables,  all of the nutrients are now in the broth so no need for them. You can store in fridge up to 3 days. You can also freeze the broth into ice cube trays for future cooking. They willnlast in freezer for up to 6 months. Enjoy!!

Juice Detox: Day 7/10

    WOW... day 7 and still going strong! I had my daughters 5th birthday party today and served fresh fruit with organic strawberry honey yogurt dip, fresh veggies, and organic pretzles. I would have loved to have some great finger food, but I was content with my juice, and so happy to serve all guests healthy options.:) The birthday cupcakes sure smelled good!! HAHA

    I have already stocked my fridge and pantry with healthy options for inter grading solid foods back into my diet. I am so looking forward to my almonds that I picked up from the market yesterday. I also have picked up some great salad recipes that I will share in a future post. Happy juicing!!

This juice easy to make and is an appetite killer! I made this in the evening when I got hungry (before 8pm) and it sure killed my hungry issue. It is a little bitter. Refreshing though! :) Enjoy!
