5 Day Spring Cleanse - April 8-12 - Day One





Day 1 -  Monday, April 8

Wonderful beginning!  No hunger pains, and the juice recipes by Jason Vale are so delicious!   So glad we can add these to our repertoire of juices - it's always nice to vary them, especially since various veggies and fruits offer a wide variety of nutrients.  Another thing I like about Jason's recipes is he gives us the nutritional benefits of each recipe.

We were given two recipes for the day.  Jason had suggested up to four juices per day, but I had more than my fill after having three juices.  My favorite recipe was the one we had in the early afternoon entitled:  Turbo…with a kick!  

Here are the ingredients:

Apples x 2  (he suggests Golden Delicious but we used Granny Smith)
Pineapple x 1 medium

Spinach x 1 handful

Lime  (wax free and peeled)

Celery x  1 stick

Cucumber 3 cm chunk

Ginger x 1 cm chunk

Avocado x 1 medium



How to create this creamy Juice Master piece:
Juice all the ingredients except the avocado and ice. Pour the juice into a blender along with the avocado flesh and ice and blend until smooth.   Add ice.


What’s the kick?
Unlike the traditional ‘Turbo’ recipe, I have added a nice chunk of ginger. As the name suggests this gives it a real kick!  (feel free to add more ginger for more of a kick!)


Benefits:


This recipe is rich in chlorophyll:  the lifeblood of the green plant. It helps to oxygenate the blood while alkalizing the body.

 Can't believe how easy this is!   Day Two, here we come!
