Today was a great day! I ate or drank, actually, very light until the afternoon since Day 1 of the 21-day green smoothie detox is recommended as a water fast. I mentioned in my journal entry yesterday that I am not completely fasting because today is not a day I can rest or take care of myself. I will work towards this next week. I started my morning with a green juice and a green smoothie. I only sipped on these after I had thought about my hunger and what food meant to me. At about 1:00, I was really hungary so I ate some solid food, but keeping it light. No nuts or sweets. Only fruits and vegetables. I lightly grazed through the afternoon to keep me going and then I joined my family for a nice dinner out. I thought about my day of eating light and starting out only with a juice and smoothie. For dinner I had a salad of greens, apples, and a few nuts with olive oil and fresh pepper. I followed that with a cup of tea and fruit. I am totally satisfied and happy to do it again tomorrow. Adding another smoothie instead of grazing in the afternoon would be a great way to go as well. Tomorrow’s menu is a green smoothie for breakfast and lunch, a salad and green soup for dinner. Each meal has a suggested green smoothie. Unfortunately, I have fallen in love with my chard-grapefruit-mango combo that I can hardly try anything else! Try this smoothie out and let me know what you think:
