It was delicious! Only 13.9g of net fiber, and it includes 2.7g of fiber in it. Plus 62% of your daily vitamin C.

Pineapple Mango Juicing Recipe

So I've had three shakes so far today, and water, and nothing else. I'm feeling fine!

Summary of day 1 juice cleanse - lovely! I was full, the shakes were delicious, I slept well, and I felt great in the morning. It was a wonderful experience.

I'll be doing this for the full week, if anybody wants to join in for a day or two - or even just to try one shake!

Currently enjoying a cantaloupe-peach-yogurt shake while I start my day. Delicious. I'll post the recipe soon. What are you guys having?

My afternoon shake is literally my typical Very Veggie salad, in a blender, with other fun stuff added in. Delicious!

For dinner I had an apple ginger juicing concoction, it was very tasty! I've posted the recipe.

Currently having lovely kiwi-strawberry shake / smoothie / juice - nutritious, tasty! What are you having?

On Day 3 of my Juicing Cleanse. Slept great, feel wonderful, haven't been hungry, and the shakes are delicious. Also down 2.8 pounds since Monday. My aim isn't to lose weight, so I may need to up the calorie / carb count of these to stay even. I do feel overall just "better" - more focused, alert.

On day 4 of my juicing cleanse. Still sleeping well, feeling energized, and enjoying the delicious flavors. Lost another 0.2lb too. I'm not trying to lose weight - I'm trying to balance this so I don't - so I need to boost the calorie / carb value a tweak.

I'll note that yesterday I had an odd thing happen. My morning and afternoon shake were great. Then at 9pm I sat down to start the editor chat and had a third shake by my side. I started to drink it, and my stomach felt funny. And then my throat started to feel tight. So some ingredient in the shake wasn't agreeing with me. Everything in there was "normal" - lime, carrot, etc. - so there was nothing unusual in that sense. But clearly my body wasn't thrilled with something.

Clearly I've never realized before that I was sensitive to this ingredient, and it's only now that I am at such a "well point" in my body's health that I notice when it dips like this. I'm becoming much more aware of even tiny issues with food. So now I can do process of elimination to figure out which specific item it was that I'm sensitive to, and be aware of that!

This morning Bob made me a strawberry-kiwi shake and I'm fine with it, so it's not a "shake" problem. And after that issue I had, when Bob got home he made me something else and I was fine. So it was specifically about that one shake.
