I am doing my 3-5 day monthly juice detox this week. How long I do it depends on how I'm feeling and how I’m responding to the cleanse. I actually am considering going past five days this time, but we will see!

This morning I juiced the following:

-one head of celery
-five leaves of kale
-one apple
-one lemon
-one tablespoon of fresh ginger
-a little over a cup of fresh pineapple

This made two 16-ounce cups of juice. I sealed them tightly and will drink one for breakfast and one for lunch. Between my meals I will drink water and herbal tea. I do incorporate lemon juice, raw honey (by the teaspoon, not tablespoon) and organic/unfiltered apple cider vinegar into my daily routine while juicing. This keeps my energy up, and I believe it also assists the cleansing process.

For dinner tonight, I want to make a spicy cilantro juice (it’s great at dinner or lunch) but I have some pears that are going to be bad if I keep them too much longer, so I’ll probably make this instead:

Pear Orange Juice:

-two pears
-one orange
-four cups of spinach
-one cup of basil
-one small piece of ginger

If you have questions about my experiences with juicing and cleansing, please let me know. I could go on and on about it, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with information lol.

Best of luck in your journey!

Definitely checking out that website! Already bought groceries for this week but maybe a juice fast next week would be good thanks for the idea! I need some weight to fall off to get motivated!
