Juicing – Day 4

I never thought I could love apple, lemon, and leafy green juice but after four days I can officially say the combination is wonderful! Today wasn’t so much a juicing day because I had more smoothies than juices but it everything I consumed was nutritious and energizing! I gave one 16 oz. juice to a coworker who needed much more than I did, but I replaced it with a smoothie with greens, tahini, vanilla, and banana, my go-to drink that always keeps me going. Only one more day to go, and because I will put in a full day on my feet at work I may need to sneak in an egg (organic, free-range of course!) or two in the morning. However, I am ecstatic to admit that I do not miss sugar, dairy, or gluten thus far.
