Green smoothie detox

Wow, I've had a smoothie yesterday and am in the process of finishing one today, and the effects are pretty tremendous.

Without the smoothies, I don't eliminate waste as efficiently, but now… it's getting slowly to the point of what it was like during the month of green smoothies.

My skin and my upper lip are also itching a bit. It comes and goes.

I went exercising for 20 min this morning, and couldn't continue because I was sweating so much that it was running into my eyes. Such a big difference!

I also find that I need more water, which is good!

I still have too many sweets (my mom always brings me stuff), so I crave them, but that's going to start changing soon.


 

Today's smoothie:

Concord grapes (grown in a family friend's garden!)

Fresh apple cider (from the cider mill)

Lemon juice

3 leaves of kale

4 strawberries (frozen, so the Vitamix wouldn't make the smoothie warm)

Lots of fiber! I also included the seeds and skin of the grapes, and I do think that it's the main reason why my detox is so apparent today. It started right after I drank a third of the smoothie, so I took a break (am actually still taking one) from the smoothie. I'll finish it after my super circuits class J
