Day one juice cleanse menu.
As spoken of on Facebook, January 2nd, marks day one of my three day juice cleanse. I convinced my lovely friend Meg to be my company in this process, hoping that after this, she won’t hate me completely. Perhaps she’ll just punch me in the face. Which I may or may not deserve after talking her into this. Anyways, initially I wrote a menu that was simple but I really wanted to dig deep with this. I want it to be a total body experience. So, I have been spending the better part of my day researching how to do this safely, healthfully and with a multi purpose approach. If you are considering a cleanse after New Year’s, I urge you to come along on this journey with me. First five people to join get a lovely prize from me.
All of these recipes are meant to throw in a juicer, if you do not have one, go buy one and consider it an investment in your own health.

The New Year is coming. It’s time to find the better “you”. Enjoy my friends.
Where do you get wheatgrass? I can find it frozen but I’m guessing it’s not a nutrient dense.
Whole Foods has it with the sprouts and the micro greens.
It’s a pretty generous sized container.
I expect to hear your best persuasions tomorrow night! I only have a Ninja, though, no juicer….
Absolutely. I have my argument written down and my pedastal ready. Meg and I are prepping New Years Day!!! Come over and join!!! We can be miserable together.
