If you find yourself wishing you had eaten one less chocolate egg this Easter season, I am sure you are not alone!
The last few weeks have been a sugar fest for adults and children alike, and the most obvious results are a lack of concentration, poor sleep, sluggish digestion and a weakened immune system.
It is time to go on a spring cleaning mission and eliminate the sweet left-overs! One of the tastiest ways to do that is to embrace a few days of juicing
. It is simple to do, it tastes fantastic and your cells are already smiling just thinking about all this goodness coming in!
You need very few things: a good quality juicer is a must, veggies and fruits – preferably organic – and a few add-ons like an avocado or nuts which will not go through the juicer.
For the rest, let your imagination take flight…I love to make my juices mainly vegetables, with a little fruit added in for sweetness. Lunch today was celery, carrots, zucchini, parsley, ginger, cucumber, an apple, a pear and one peeled lemon. Adding beets is fun, colorful and very tasty.
For a little twist, pour the juice in a Vitamix or similar mixer, add an avocado and a few nuts. It will become a creamy concoction that replaces lunch without leaving you feeling like you missed anything.
Do this consistently for a week, instead of lunch. You will feel energized, lighter in body and mind, and your cells will do a happy dance!
