ONE TO THREE DAY SUMMER CLEANSE
An easy and effective way to keep your system cleansed is to set aside one day a week for a detox or 3 days every couple of months. Here is a delicious and simple way to do it.  Recipes are below. 

First, be mentally prepared to give up food that are congesting, addicting or create imbalances such as :  white sugar, artificial sweeteners,  breads and flour products, fats except some avocado, alcohol, dairy, eggs, meats, fish, caffeine for one day.

Second, prepare in advance to have the ingredients you need (see recipes).

Upon arising, drink one quart of lemon water during the course of one hour or so before you eat.  This doesn't mean glug the whole thing down at once.  Take 2 or 3 swallows at a time while you do morning practice and get organized for the day.

For breakfast make yourself a low-glycemic smoothie.

For lunch have the vegetable puree.

For dinner have another smoothie or a variation of the vegetable puree.

Between meals drink the lemon water and have 2-3 cups of herbal tea.

Moving your body is essential for working the lymphatic system and aiding all the organs of elimination. 



2 QUARTS OF LEMON WATER

Juice of one lemon
2 quarts of natural spring water

Squeeze lemon juice into water.
Optional:  4-5 drops stevia or Agave Nectar

Drink the first quart over the course of
one hour or so before eating in the morning. 
This will provide a great flush for the
liver and kidneys. 

Sip the second quart over the course
of the day.


HERBAL TEAS

Herbal teas can aid your cleanse.  Don’t overdo
It because the liver has to process herbs just as it processes food, medication and toxins.

Have 2 cups per day, hot or cool.

Some good options are:

Yogi Teas:  Detox Tea, Fasting Tea, Stomach Ease, Peppermint

Traditional Medicinals:  Ginger Aid

Health King:  Reishi Liver Guard, Kidney Strengthening Tea


LOW GLYCEMIC SMOOTHIE

1 Organic apple or pear or 1 cup berries
1 Scoop NOW brand whey or egg white protein powder without fructose
1 Tbsp. spirulina or other “green” powder

Optional ingredients:
2-3 drops liquid stevia or Agave Nectar
1 TB  aloe vera juice (Lily of the Desert,
     "Pleasant Tasting")
¼ cup chopped parsley


  BLENDED VEGGIE DRINK

Best to use organic vegetables.  If you
must use commercial produce, make
sure you peel them first.

1 tsp lemon juice
1/3 avocado
1 cucumber
1 Zucchini
1 carrot
1/2 beet
1 handful  chopped parsley or kale
pinch whole sea salt

Optional: 1 TB  aloe vera juice (Lily of the
