treats - juice cleanse (day 3)

i was really fearing day 3 because i hear it's the worst day of the cleanse because your body is finally adjusting to everything. i'm happy to report i'm feeling great. i've even lost 3 lbs since i first started the cleanse.

i'm really enjoying the creative freedom i have with all of the juicing. i'm starting to spin off of each juice i've made to see which combinations work well and which ones don't.

day 3

mean green (alt 2)
the goods:
- 1 apple
- 2 kiwis
- 4 kale leaves
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 1/2 cucumber

the how to:
- wrap the spinach inside of the kale leaves and juice on low
- juice the kiwis on low
- juice the apple and cucumber on high
*if you've peeled off the cucumber skin, juice on low

the results:
a hearty green mixture. the spinach has a great flavor and it's not as punchy at the wheatgrass.

mean green juice (alt 2) - my favorite green!

orange creamsicle (CURRENT FAVORITE!!)
the goods:
- 2 oranges
- 2 pears
- 1/2 papaya

the how to:
- peel orange rind, leaving on the pith (the white part)
- cut off stalk of pears
- scrape out papaya seeds
- juice orange and pears (soft) on low
- juice papaya and pears (hard) on high

the results:
my goodness this is the best thing i've ever tasted! this was actually supposed to be made with peaches instead of pears, but they're not in season and i'm happy i had to substitute. the pears add a lovely smooth, creamy texture to this so it's not super citrus hoppy.

body factory's pb&j
my grandfather's love for peanut butter passed down to me and i was craving some protein to add into my mixes. i ended up venturing to the body factory and ordered my favorite smoothie, the pb&j.

the goods:
- peanut butter
- bananas
- blueberries
- body fuel protein powder

the results:
still delicious as usual, but i did notice that the protein powder made me feel a bit bloated. i think i'll stick with the raw fruits and veggies for the rest of the cleanse.
