Carrot "cappuccino"

Hungry for something good and sweet but sugarfree? Juice some carrots and kiwis (or apples). Serve in a cappuccino cup and garnish with cinnamon spice.

Juicing for health

Are you considering getting yourself a juicer? We bought one this week and I'm so excited about it! Probably the best investment this year. It does take space in the kitchen and it is a bit clumsy to get clean but that's totally worth it. Juicing is easy and fun! A lot of juicer recipes and information on juicing I found here.

Detox day number one was yesterday:

• breakfast: fresh juice made of beets, celery stalks, apples, and carrot
• lunch: avocado soup
• dinner: frittata made of egg whites, broccoli and lightly smoked pork loin, asparagus on the side
• snack#1: carrot, apple and celery juice
• snack#2: avocado soup 

 Well yes, I admit that I had a little bit of the avocado mousse I made yesterday :) I hope it didn't make so much damage but I'll have to watch out for such temptations. I'm trying to enjoy my detox, looking at the bright side of all the health benefits I'll probably experience later on. I'm lucky that I'm staying at home for one more week, I can imagine that detoxing while working must be quite a hard work.
I did have a minor headache yesterday but other than that I did not experience anything unpleasant. Craving for sugar was not that bad as I was expecting, the juiced apples and carrots helped to prevent it maybe?

These pictures I have taken today, my morning juice consisted of beets, carrots, celery stalks, lemon and ginger. A real vitamine boost!

Have a great juicy day everyone!
