Anyone else really starting to feel sluggish from the hot cocoa and holiday treats? Normally I like to really watch what I put into my body. But after spending a few days snowed in and fully embracing the holiday spirit {aka drinking a few too many hot cocoas and eating a few too many homemade holiday treats- oops}, my body is ready for a jump start. After all, 1 Corinthians 3:17 reminds us that our bodies are God’s temple… So it is definitely time to fit in a 3 day juice cleanse before our family comes to Texas for the holidays. Day 1 begins today!
I would love to have you join me on this juice cleanse! I’ll be posting some of my pictures/recipes on instagram- follow me here!
Do you have any favorite recipes?
When doing a juice cleanse, I usually like to have 6 juices a day
& include a nice session of hot yoga to really sweat out the toxins.
And mason jars are perfect for keeping your juice fresh all day long!
{and mason jars just make everything taste better 😉 }
Nothing beats fresh, homemade juice 🙂
Also, try to make your juices based on vegetables.
I typically only add one fruit to each of my juices
because of their high sugar content.
Pineapple & grapefruit are my favorites
because they mask bitterness.
My go to recipe:
kale
spinach
cucumber
wheat grass
1/2 grapefruit
lemon
ginger root
And you are free to have unlimited water and herbal tea during a cleanse!
Enjoy!
Please note: My dad has been making fresh juice for our family since high school, so if you are new to juicing- I suggest you don't do any strenuous workouts during your first cleanse.
This is such a great post! I need to do a juice cleanse, but I have never done one before so I don’t really know what to do. I’m glad you included a recipe because I have no idea where to start. I think I will first try replacing one meal a day with the juice just to get used to making it. haha, I just need to have someone make them all for me and put them in my fridge and then maybe I would be more motivated!
Apparently, they are most nutritious them within one hour of making them. And they taste 100 times better homemade. But it is super easy! And if you don’t have a juicer yet, I would definitely add it onto your Christmas list 🙂 I posted my breakfast recipe on instagram too- just incase you want another recipe! Good luck- you will love it!
I have never done a juicing cleanse but I have heard amazing things about them!
