30-Days Juice Fast-
Day 2
It can be a bit daunting when you work, so a quick tip is to
juice all recipes or stretch some so you do not have many containers of juices to carry around, take the mid-morning and afternoon Juices in a
flask to work, while the evening juices are stored in the fridge. Then come home
later in the evening to enjoy the evening Juices.
The key to getting this right is planning and
preparing ahead of time. If you have your Juice handy when you need it, the
temptation to eat something else would be less.
Another quick tip
is- drink water. Stay hydrated. Sometimes we think we are hungry when we
actually are thirsty. So the trick is to stay hydrated.
The final tip is –
do not limit yourself to your own juices, there are several juicing bars dotted across the city, pop into one and order yourself something delicious!
You can do
this! You have to believe it first and then take the steps to accomplish it!
I will be
sharing some simple recipes today, made with 2-4 only ingredients. My goal is to make you
understand the formula so you can make your own unique juices.
Remember, if
you do not have some of the veggies or fruits in the recipes, simply use what
you have. You can replace the sweet things like apples, beetroot, carrots,
pineapple, papaya etc. with other sweet fruits or veggies you have available
and do same with leafy greens, citruses etc.
With that out
of the way, here are ‘Day 2’ recipes:
What you would need:
1. Time – obviously
2. A Juicer or/ a smoothie maker (a good blender if no smoothie
maker)
3. A chopping board (optional)
4. Knives (optional)
5. Water
6. Apple cider vinegar (to wash fruits and vegetables. See:
‘30-Day Juice Fast: Day 1- Mind Prep!’ post sent on 28th of Feb.
2013 for veggie washer recipe.)
Fruits and Veggies
needed for the day: 3 bananas, 3 apples, 2 cups of pineapple, 1 celery stick, 2-4
inches of lemon, 8 inches of cucumber, 2 handful of mixed green leaves, 7
carrots, 4 cups of red grapes, 3 oranges, a bag of peppermint tea (optional) and
½ a cup of strawberries.

Yahooooo!!! Another fun
detox day! Keep believing in yourself and remember to tell us how your juicing
day went.
Let's, breakdown what
you would be getting from each ingredient with an extra focus on Lemon:
·
Lemon- Lemon helps to alkalize the body. People think it is
very acidic because of its acidic taste and the fact that it contains some
acidity, but it actually becomes more alkaline when consumed. It is also antibacterial,
anti-viral, immune system booster, a great liver cleanser, a blood purifier and a really
good body detoxer- if there is such a word. It helps the body get rid of radiation as well. You also get
magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, calcium, vitamin C (the vitamin C helps your
body absorb the calcium), bio-flavonoids, citric acid and beta-carotene.
Other benefits:
Vitamins A, C, D, B6, E, K, beta-carotene, B1, B2, B6 and other vitamins in the
B complex. There are also enriched with Chromium, phosphorous, potassium, Iron,
folic acid, Zinc, iodine, sulphur, calcium and other minerals that together
help calm the nervous system, restore the body’s alkaline balance, prevents
cancer, cleanse the liver, dissolve excess mucus which hay fever and asthma
sufferers need; cleanse the intestinal tract thus eliminating harmful toxins
and neutralizing harmful bacteria; reduce hardening and blockage of arteries
which in turn reduces the risks of strokes and heart disease; promotes healthy eyes, skin and hair;
reduce blood pressure, fluid retention
and acidity in the body which is good news for arthritis and gout sufferers.
