Mmmmm…healthy eats!

(via iwillbe-beautiful)

Earlier in the week I attempted a juice fast, and failed miserably within 24 hours. I don’t know what it is, but whenever I place restrictions on myself my inner child rebels. On Monday (day one of my fast) all I wanted was food I could chew. By dinner time my plate was loaded with mashed potatoes, salad, and green beans. The only good thing about my 3-days of fasting failure was that when I did chew food it was healthy. See some of my eats!

Arugula, cherry tomatoes, carrots, purple cabbage, string beans, and a homemade dressing of olive oil, fig vinegar, amino acids, Dijon mustard and honey. Mmm…potatoes!! The gravy is literally golden mushroom soups cooked with onions! Mango, watermelon, pineapple juice, and a little flax seed oil =

A very refreshing breakfast juice! Blackberries, mango, pineapple juice and flax seed also works![/caption] [caption id=”attachment_1380” align=”aligncenter” width=”500”] This wasn’t my favorite, as far as smoothies/juices go, but like I said…it works.

More veggies!

Even though my juice cleanse sucked I’m not giving up my whole cleansing obsession. My skin looks better, but I really want a full flush. If you’re from Ritual Cleanse or another reputable cleansing company, please contact me!

This morning’s breakfast. I now see why they tell you to take it easy on exercise during juice fasts. It’s not going well over here, folks. Last night I broke down and ate some tofu, potatoes, string beans, and salad! I was hungry! Can you blame me? I worked out for 2 hours yesterday, AND went kayaking later. No wonder juicing isn’t cutting it.

The plus side? I’m staying away from added sugar, preservatives, and junk! My skin is already clearing up.

Blackberry Mango Juice

- 4 slices of mango

- 1 cup of blackberries

- 1 TBS of flax seed oil

- 2 TBS of vegan protein powder (because I’m going to the gym in a few minutes)

- 1/2 cup of 100 percent pineapple juice

I’m sick, but I went to the gym because I didn’t go yesterday. Don’t worry, I made sure to sanitized my hands and the machines I used.

I need to boost my immune system, so a smoothie seemed the best way to go.
