Detox Day 1

Buying the ingredients for the entire detox was an experience.  All together, it cost Tony and I about $150, which seemed like crazy at first.  But then we thought about it: $75/person for three days = $25/day... which is about the same as you'd spend for one meal if you went out to dinner.  Plus, it's all produce and nuts, which are HEALTHY expensive food.  For a once in a while thing, it seems fair to me.


The detox plan is all provided in a book by Dr. Woodson Merrell, simply entitled "The Detox Prescription."  It gives different types of plans as well as the science behind nutrition and healthy eating.  I bought it on my Kindle for only about $11.

Choking down my green breakfast :(

Well, let's get down to it.  We started the day with a green smoothie for breakfast: spinach, lime, cucumber, and avocado.  Lamentably, the avocados we had bought were nowhere close to ripened.  They were rock hard.  So when we made out smoothie, there were chunks of almost crunchy avocado throughout.  It was TERRIBLE.  I would highly recommend using ripened avocados, if you're going to try it out.  The drink wasn't good, but we choked it down, and continued throughout the morning combating cucumber burps.

Around noon, we made homemade almond milk.  It's not bad!  It was a mess to make, though.

Already, I'm craving pizza, and Tony is planning out what we'll eat for dinner on Wednesday.
