I am so excited to bring my Renew You: 11 Day Detox Program to you! This program is designed to help you beat the bloat, lose weight, kickstart your metabolism, destress, reduce inflammation and much, much more. All without depriving yourself!
To show my appreciate for your support to date and to give you a little sneak peak of the full 11 day program, I have made a sample freebie version available to my newsletter subscribers. Sign up here --> (in the right margin) today to receive your copy!
I have also been working through the program on my own over the last few days and would love to give you a little taste of what I have been up to! Enjoy!
Day 1
Breakfast
I love my morning smoothies, so to stick with a bit of the familiar, I opted to use the Breakfast Smoothie recipes over the Breakfast Juice recipes for this 3 day sampler but both offer great benefits. (Stay tuned to my blog for a future posting on the pros and cons of juicing and blending.) I'm not a huge fan of protein powder or tahini (I only used 1T of tahini) but this recipe was much better than I expected and kept me full all morning long. I didn't even need the morning snack.
Lunch
This salad was delicious. I only used half of the dressing and it was plenty for my preference. If the ACV is too much for you, you can always leave it out, but it does have tons of tremendous health benefits so try to incorporate it somewhere!
Dinner
The superfood berry baby salad definitely looked as good as it tasted. I had never had raw cranberries before so I was excited to try them. THey were much less tart than I was expecting.
Overall
Overall this was a great first day! I did have a very mild headache at the end of the day but for jumping in the deep end (no pre-detox phase), I'd consider it a tremendous success!
Day 2
Breakfast
This smoothie was so good! I am used to drinking green smoothies in the morning so this was a pleasant treat! It was plenty filling and again, I didn't feel the need for the morning snack.
Lunch
Again, great dish! It would have suited me better to leave the tahini out (and I did reduce it by half) but it was nice and creamy and provided a different texture than a traditional green salad.
Dinner
I was so bummed that I forgot to purchase the KimChi. I have been eager to try this "ingredient" and was so excited to have an excuse to purchase it! Oh well, the lettuce wraps were amazing anyway. I did add a touch of the cayenne but they would have been great either way.
Overall
This really has been much easier than I was expecting. The recipes are so yummy and filling. I didn't finish my lunch and did find that I needed both of the daily snacks in the afternoon. I also know that I need lots of protein in my diet and was feeling it by evening. Live and learn! How exciting to discover, explore and learn about me on a new level!
Day 3
Breakfast
I was hesitant about the tahini again but went for it and had no problems. Again, a delicious treat. Almost felt like dessert for breakfast! As you can see from the photo, I was so excited to eat it that I forgot to photograph it before I dove in! Oh well!
Lunch
This salad was so good! I was actually fairly bummed when it was gone and contemplated making seconds! I think my body was craving the nutrients in the salt and honey a bit and this salad hit the spot. De-lish! I did add some extra beans since I was running someone's Bars after lunch and wanted to be sure I had plenty of nourishment but it probably wasn't needed.
Dinner
It has been a long time since I've had beets and I don't know that I've ever eaten them raw. They were so good! So glad I stepped out of my box and tried something new! What a great day!
Overall
I'm so excited to be on this journey and am thinking I may just keep going! I hope you will join me!
Other
While I did not feel the need to blog about the morning lemon water, snacks, or evening tea they were all very much appreciated, enjoyed, and they should not be left out. The figs with almond butter and cinnamon were my favorite!
Summary
I hope you enjoyed following my mini detox experience as much as I enjoyed participating and capturing it! I know 11 days can seem like an enternity to some but anything is better than nothing! And my Renew You program is designed to easy you into the process - no cold turkey, no deprivation, no stress! It is all about you and discovering what your body needs to thrive!
