NEW YEAR'S REZ JUICE FAST + LIVER FLUSH: The Count Down Is On!

Here we go, Stemians! Tomorrow the cleansing commences! It is exciting to jump into the New Year with both feet, ready to rejuvenate our bodies and minds!

The first three days, we will ease in with a combo of smoothies and simple fresh veggie juices. If you want to jump on the juice-fast train, you can check out my daily blog where I lay out the day's protocol and recipes and give tips on how to optimize your cleanse and to feel your best while doing it.

Here is a great 10 minute video to educate you about juice fasting and the digestive system from Meducated:

Now that you understand how juicing helps to heal up and improve your digestion, here are a couple tips on getting ready for tomorrow and the start of our 3 week adventure!

Here's where you grab a pen and paper and write your list:

You will need to get about 25 pounds of organic carrots! Often you can purchase them in this quantity at your local health food store. Otherwise you can grab 5 of the typical 5 lb. bags from the organic section of your local produce department. If you don't have access to organic produce, you can still juice, however, you will need to peel your carrots rather than just wash them. Organic is ALWAYS preferred and that's because in addition to being non-toxic, organic produce is much more nutritionally dense and has a much higher vitamin and mineral content than non-organic produce.

Also, grab a half dozens heads of organic celery, a dozen organic green apples and a large cluster of organic ginger root. If you can't find the last two, no sweat, carrots and celery are fine for the first couple of days.

As for the smoothie requirements:

1 large tub of organic spinach
2 large organic avocados
2 cartons of organic unsweetened almond milk (you can sub with your favorite vegan milk)
a couple bags of organic frozen blueberries
a bunch of bananas (optional)

Grab a half dozen lemons and a jar of organic apple cider vinegar, while you're at it! OK! That's it for supplies to prepare. If you feel you want to go deeper into organ cleansing in preparation for a liver flush later during the fast, check out my post from yesterday and the comments underneath for more prepping information and go out and buy an organic milk thistle/liver support supplement.
