Juice Cleanse

After several weeks of Christmas parties, corporate happy hours, cookie exchanges and champagne toasts, it’s time to return to normal eating patterns. I’m a firm believer in the school of thought that eating the right foods and exercising trumps fad diets. Before I launch into a full blown exercise routine, I’ve decided to rid my body of toxins. To do so, I will be going on a 3 day juice cleanse. The one I have selected to use is offered by Elixir Juice bar. Each day I will consume only liquids in the form of 6 specialty juices:

8am: All Greens - apple, celery, cucumber, kale, spinach
10am: Mood Mender - orange, grapefruit, ginseng, vitamin c
12pm: Skin Tonic - apple, celery, spinach, kale, aloe vera
3pm: Quick Quencher - watermelon, lemon, pineapple, aloe vera
6pm: Fatigue Fighter - apple, carrot, beet, ginger, ginseng
8pm: Almond Smoothie - almond butter, cinnamon, coconut water, rice milk (I have omitted the bananas)

I’m anxious to get started but nervous because I normally don’t enjoy juices, shakes or smoothies. This should be interesting!
