3 Day Smoothie/Juice Fast

I have been reading The Natural Way to Vibrant Health by Dr. Norman W. Walker. This book breaks down the understandings of digesting food on a physical and chemical basis. I have learned that my colon, liver, and many other areas of my body are overworked with trying to digest, rid of toxins, and push through my system the years of build up fried starch and the like from the SAD diet. The best way to give the digestive organs a break so the colon may have a chance to filter out excess waste lining the walls of the intestines is to refrain from eating for a while- fasting, or do a juice fast! I decided to do a 3 or more day juice/smoothie fast where the majority of my food intake is blended or juiced in the liquid form. Eating food in the liquid form makes it easier for food and nutrients to pass through your body and juicing your food helps get rid of the fibers that your intestines need to squeeze constantly to try and get all the nutrients out. I have been drinking a juiced beet/carrot/sweet potato/ginger mixture, along with a blended energy soup, carrot/cucumber/wheatgrass juice, and tons of filtered water! For breakfast, I have been eating as much watermelon as possible. Watermelon helps clean out the system if eaten on an empty stomach. You can also do enimas or colon cleansing if you have the tools or a practiced Naturopathic doctor handy.

 Raw Energy Soup!
1 Cup Spinach
1/2 cup Kale
teaspoon of Raw Coconut Aminos
1/2 cup of juiced wheat grass with cucumber
1/4 cup red cabbage
1/4 cup celery juice or more
1 small apple (or you can juice it)
shelled hemp seeds
2 big cloves garlic
fresh ginger
1/2 lemon to taste
1/2 or whole lime to taste
tumeric, cumin, and kelp to taste
cracked black pepper
Himalayan pink salt
filtered water if needed

Blend all ingredients on high listed above
Add in 1/2 cup or more alfalfa sprout and one avocado and blend slowly
Garnish with alfalfa sprouts, dulse flakes, and soaked garbanzo beans
note: can add soaked garbanzo beans in soup to give it substance to chew on when eating
