Justin and I recently completed a three day Juice Cleanse designed by Jus by Julie- there was a pretty awesome deal on Groupon so I snapped it up in a hurry. I have done juice fasts in the past but have always gone the homemade route. Honestly, having the juices shipped to me and ready to go was pretty amazing and a total time saver. Many of the Juices can be easily recreated at home- two of my favorites were Peanut Butter Banana & Island Coconut. This is my version of the Peanut Butter Banana- let me tell you, it is totally addicting!

pb coco banana smoothie
This version came about during our fast, Justin has a super physical job and there was no way he was going to survive on 900 calories a day- so we improvised. I made this on the second morning of our fast- it took about 5 minutes and 3 ingredients, 4 if you use the cacao nibs. The results were amazing...after I made this I felt kind of silly for spending money on a Juice fast.
I could have totally gone an extra 2 or 3 days- next month I am planning out a 7 day fast that will include smoothies similar to Jus by Julie and some warm pureed very clean eating soups. You can enjoy this right when you make it or set it in the fridge for a bit to chill. If you have Popsicle molds these would make awesome fudgsicles!
If you are interested in an awesome clean eating/green smoothie challenge you should check out this plan from Somer at Vedged Out! For convenience purposes I would totally do Jus by Julie again if time didn't allow for me to create my own each day, if you have the time Somer's is an amazing balanced plan that is sustainable for longer periods of time.
The best part about this smoothie- it tastes super decadent and can be prepared in a food processor or blender; it's almost like dessert in a cup!

So gorgeous! I don't know if this would hold me over as breakfast, but it looks perfect as a snack!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty perfect for a post work out snack! :)
DeleteMm, I love chocolate and peanut butter smoothies! I love the cocoa nibs on top, too. I've done juice fasts before, but I've always made the juice myself. Would be so convenient to not have it all pre-made! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! It was so convenient....but $$$$!!!!!

DeleteI'm in transition of becoming a vegan, but I have to ask why do most vegan recipes not include nutritional information? I have hypertension and always like to check calories, fat, protein, etc. Can you answer this question? Thank you
ReplyDeleteFor me, personally, I do not count calories therefore do not compute the calories for my recipes - many plant based whole foods diets are low in calories & fat and high in all the right areas. There are several calorie counting / calorie recipe computing sites available online that you could enter the recipe information into on your own :)
DeleteGreat post again! Through with this content, you have given stand out introduction. Appreciate the value

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
