7 days of spring detox

   

Hi, dear readers, time is ripe and ready for a spring detox! This year I decided to live on fresh vegetable and fruit juice the biggest part of the detox week: juice/smoothie for breakfast, juices for lunch and teatime. For dinner I'll skip the juice and have steamed vegetables instead, a creamy soup or a salad. No coffee, no dairy, no carbs. Lots of water and herbal teas. If you'd like to join me, you'll find a whole bunch of amazing juice recipes on Jason Vale's website (well, there you find EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about juicing!) or in the free e-book on Lisa's blog Healthy, Happy and Well.

Green vegetable juice is the healthiest. Nevertheless I recommend to mix it up with one or two  apples or a few chunks of pineapple if you won't let your detox become a chore. 

To start you need a juicer (a centrifugal or a masticating one) and a blender to to add bananas, avocados, berries or ice cubes to your juice.

The little yellow one is the" healthy expresso". It's nothing more than a generous piece of ginger and an apple and, oh yes, it wakes you up... Check out as well Jason's Sherbet Lemonade, it's terrific, one of my favourites !  

I wish you a happy healthy week! 

spring detox begins tomorrow

When the sun shines and the birds sing in the morning it's high time for a spring cleaning. Not only for the house (oh, those windows!) but also for the lazy winter body. At least my own body has eaten way too many carbs and sweets during the winter. Not to speak about the very low level of exercise.
In my first post I'll talk about emotional detox, the next ones will focus on fruit, vegetables, powerfood, smoothies, sports, the miracle of prolonged alcaline baths.

I''m curious to hear about your spring cleaning. Do you have special rituals you do every spring?
