Yesterday I completed a green smoothie/green juice cleanse! I followed my own guidelines and took a much needed break for my stomach. All day I just had green smoothies with lots of super-foods and green juices. I also had some coconut water, lemon and cayenne in warm water and teas. I feel super today!
To back track before the cleanse, I made Gena's Raw Falafel with her Tangy Tahini Sauce! These were delicious! I just love falafel and even more raw!
I made this green smoothie during my cleanse. This was kale, pineapple, papaya, peaches, coconut milk, goji berries, hemp, flax and chia seeds and spirulina.
Sorry to skip around a bit.. I made this for dinner one night: a gluten free tortilla wrap topped with black beans and Daiya cheddar, heated in the oven until the cheese is melted, then I topped it with avocado and salsa! YUM! Guiltless dinner, that felt a lot less healthy then it was. HA HA!
During my cleanse I enjoyed some Sleepy-time tea that I got at Trader Joes in my new snowman mug! Isn't he cute? My neighbors gave him to us along with Santa Claus one for Christmas. They also gave us some other non-vegan goodies that T enjoyed! I love how these mugs have "tops" so your tea stays hot when you aren't drinking it!
Another lovely smoothie I enjoyed was: blueberries, kale, cranberries, bananas, coconut milk, chia, flax, and hemp seeds and spirulina. Lafayette (my Vitamix) is working his magic!
I had to add a picture of my little sleepy head. When we took her out of bed this morning to feed her, she snuggled up and I covered her with the blanket. Next time I came over, she looked like this..
Have a nice day everyone! XO!

Glad you enjoyed your cleanse! I have been drinking tons of herbal teas lately. My faves are the acai, pom, and cherry ones mixed with green tea. Yummy and warm!
Wow, great pictures! Everything you made looks so yummy.
glad to hear the cleanse made you feel better!!!
Do you think your vitamix was worth the $$?? I am seriously considering buying one!! :)
Your puppy is such a sweetie pie!!
I love my hot drinks to stay hot and I love that they have mugs with covers but I've never seen one as cute as this snowman!
Don't you just love those raw falafels?
I love that muf its so cute! And isnt genas raw falafel the best? I made it a few weeks ago and I was in heaven!

Nice falafels! I want to try these as well! Great job on your cleanse.
So glad you are enjoying your vitamix. a smoothie/juice cleanse sounds really good, pretty reasonable and good way to get enough calories. i struggle with that on juice only.
cute puppy under the blanket pic. :-)
