Day 13 - Still Going Strong!

This morning I had a glass of freshly juiced apple juice made from green apples and it was delicious.  Then I made the recipe listed below which I will have for lunch.  Tonight I have a salad which will be a change.  I lost only 1 lbs between Day 12 & 13, even though I exercised.  Not too bad but hope to see better results.  I am sure lots of good things is going on inside my body because I am feeling great.  Listen to this cute song.

Here is today's recipe

Carrot Spinach Parsley Celery Juicer Detox Recipe

4-5 Carrots

2 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves

Handful of Parsley

2-3 Celery Sticks

Put all the ingredients through your juicer. I find it easier to prepare fresh juices by switching back and forth between the leafy greens and the more dense vegetables. If you do this you will get more juice output extracted from your ingredients.

This is a mildly sweet cleansing detox juicer recipe. This juice is just packed with nutritional enzymes, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It has gentle cleansing properties too. Enjoy!
