A Week of Healthy Eating (most of the time)

As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m doing sort of a modified detox from the one on Goop.com. There are three highlights so far that I wanted to share.

BEET, CARROT, APPLE and GINGER JUICE

I made this a few minutes ago and am drinking it now. I don’t juice the ingredients though - I blend them in a Vita-mix so that I get the entire benefit of the fruits and veggies. Tastes hardy after a hard workout.

PEA and BASIL SOUP

I made this last night for dinner and it was awesome and super easy. Just stir up some olive oil, garlic and onion, add the peas and seasoning, add water and then blend with the basil until it’s as smooth as you like it. You can use this as a formula with all kinds of different ingredients. I used to make a similar one with Cauliflower that was delish.

STRAWBERRY ORANGE ALMOND SPINACH SMOOTHIE

I basically modified the blueberry almond smoothie recipe from the site - had good handful of fresh strawberries, half an orange, small handful of almonds, and a small bunch of spinach, water and ice. Another winner in my book.
