Detox Day 3

Day three was a day of apprehension.  By the time this day rolled around, we were used to our new diets, but anxious for the next day of liberation.  Breakfast was green and tasted like plants, but I managed to drink half of it.

By the time evening rolled around, we could smell sweet victory.  The afternoon juice wasn't bad - definitely my favorite out of all, but who's to say it was actually tasty, or if it just seemed so after all the nasty beverages?  It was made of pineapple, carrots, and ginger.

Our last veggie drink of the detox is pictured to the left - broccoli, spinach, apples, and ginger.  Want to know a secret?  It was horrible.  Tony and I watched each other as we took turns sipping, gagging, and wincing. 

To add to the inhumanity, we were making oreo balls for the bake sale at the school where I am student teaching... AND WE COULDN'T LICK THE CHOCOLATE OFF OF OUR FINGERS.  It was pure torture.  How unnatural and anti-instinctive is it to wash melted chocolate off of your hands at the sink?  After smelling all of the chocolatey goodness, we couldn't choke down the broccoli drink.  I felt guilty dumping it, so I put it in the fridge pretending that my roommates might want some.  They won't.

We finished our detox with homemade almond milk before bed.  The nut milks were pretty good, and we had two a day throughout the detox.  It was a fair way to end the cleanse, even if we kind of cheated by not drinking ALL of what we made... But truly, we didn't eat a thing - didn't even chew gum or mints - throughout the whole process, so I call that a victory.
