A Juice Cleanse Diet
By Tiffany D & Holistic Abode
With summer right around the corner..spring is a great time to start training your body for a healthy start. A basic juice cleanse diet would include a base of both tonic, nutritive herbal tea mixed with fresh fruit and vegetable juice. At this point, you can add all the supplements and top superfoods powders you want and blend it up in a blender.
This may include:
- medicinal mushroom powders
- royal jelly
- aloe vera
- camu camu or any of the superfruit powders
- shilajit
- maca powder
- powdered Ayurvedic herbs
- kelp powder
- goji powder
- zeolite
- bee pollen
- vitamineral green
- chlorella or any of the algae
Try a juice cleanse by consuming ONLY these superfood juice drinks for a number of days. For me, this has been a gentle way to introduce the cleansing process that does not involve "just juice."
It is important, however, to exclude nuts, seeds and fats from the diet at this time. You are getting tons of vitamins, minerals, tonics, and cleansers combined with sugars and small amounts of protein. This cleanse is easy to do for many days in a row, without any major detox reactions that can make it hard to maintain everyday life.
Another cleansing method is to simply incorporate these drinks into a raw food diet plan. This allows for fiber foods in addition to juices. Try cutting out all oils, fats and salts during this time, just eat fruits and veggies together with superfood juicing.
When you superfood juice in combination with a raw vegan diet for a week straight, you give your body a chance to alkalize and clean up old waste in the system. This helps all organs to maintain their proper functions.
I recommend this technique to many who are compromised with health issues and on medications that might make it challenging to do a pure juice fast.
It all depends on your individual situation. Basically, juice cleansing can happen in a few different ways. You can do a short one day juice fast or sign up for the 90 day juice feasting program that will guide and support you through the cleansing process.
But, for some, a superfoods juicing blend is a perfect compromise!
(It is important to always seek the advice of your medical doctor, especially if you have major health issues.)
Superfood Juice Cleansing Recipe:
Here is a basic recipe to give you an idea. You can adjust proportions and expand on different combinations from here.
Juice the following:
- kale or
- carrot
- apple
- ginger
- wild fennel/anise leaf
- fenugreek sprouts
Blend the juice with the following superfoods.
One teaspoon or more of:
- bee pollen
- vitamineral green
This is a very tasty energy drink that I love to begin the day with. It is an interesting brown/green color, but if you can get beyond the looks it can be a great boost that cleans, nourishes and builds.
A nice spring energy juice cleanse is often a great way to begin clearing out any possible accumulation or excess that occurs in the colder months. In the winter we spend more time indoors and tend to move less and eat more.
Superfood juicing can be a fun and effective way to:
- Loose excess weight
- Increase energy levels
- Improve complexion and skin conditions
The liver is often the organ that will let you know if you are in need of a cleanse. Acne, rashes, itchiness, or any kind of skin disorder are all signs that the liver is trying to detox. So why not help it along?
Blend the best of words and increase the amount of nutrition by adding top superfoods, medicinal mushrooms and seaweeds. So your taking in a super powered juice, yet also super supplementing the body to give you the bonus energy backup you may need.
Listen to your body:
- Are you feeling tired and fatiqued?
- Do you have any kind of skin ailment?
- Do you feel physical fit, at your ideal body weight?
Maybe a juice cleanse is just the thing you need!
