Are You Ready!!!!! YES!!! We are going to do this together again:-)  Five days to cleanse, get clarity, and maybe even lose a few inches;-)  Please remember to listen to your body on this journey.  If you are currently taking any medication talk to your physician before doing the fast.   You will be a little tired the first day or two, you may even get a headache, do not worry it’s just your body detoxing. PLEASE drink 64 ounces of water as you will find yourself going to the bathroom more, which could lead to dehydration!!!  If you feel that you can only do a few days, congratulate yourself and strive to add on a few more days next time.  I am not going to lie and say that this journey will be easy, yet, it will be worth it!!!  I have listed a few recipes that you can drink throughout the day for the next five days. I did not include the calorie content and such as I did for my smoothies, because it’s a fast! Little to no calories and/or fat.  Sugar content will be based on the apples which is about 23grams for a large one, about 6grams for small  beets,  about 9grams for 1 serving of pineapple,  oranges are about 23 grams, grapefruit has about 7 grams and about 18 grams for a medium papaya .  Natural sugar is the best, but we still have to be mindful of it.  If you come up with other great juice combinations, share, share, share..lol  BTW…you can store the juice in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours before all of the enzymes are depleted. Freezing right after you juice is even better;-))   This will help you save time in the morning.   Health is Wealth!!!

1 medium beet-Peel outer layer off first
