day 18 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

today is day 18 of green smoothie days but also day 6, and day, of my liver/gallbladder cleanse! eek! i am SO sick of apple juice and grateful i don't have to drink 1 litre per day at least until i do this cleanse again!
so this morning i made a smoothie quite similar to yesterday's but i took a photo. hurrah!

this smoothie is, as pictured, kale, green leaf lettuce (plus a wee bit of leftover romaine), and 2 gala apples (i didn't have any other fruits to blend plus i figured, reluctantly, that any extra apples i could consume would help for tonight's cleanse!). it blended quite foamy like a juice!

day 17 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

i forgot to take a photo of my smoothie today AGAIN! gah.

i am on day 5 of my 6 days of prep for my liver/gallbladder cleanse tomorrow. eek! so i think i have been thinking more about that.

anyways! today's smoothie was half a bunch of kale with half a bunch of romaine lettuce with one apple and one pear. i was taking it to go and was worried it was going to be bitter because of the big kale smell, but it ended up being perfect!

day 16 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

today's smoothie was one bunch of collard greens, 2 apples, 1 pear and a sprinkle of frozen mango.

day 15 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

today's smoothie was a whole bunch of dandelion leaves and because they have such a bitter medicine-like taste, i added some ginger, a pear and frozen banana and sampled it and then added frozen mango and an apple too! eek! but it worked! we had these this afternoon and i think dandelion would be better in the morning. just a thought.

day 14 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

somehow forgot to take a photo this morning! guess i'm running out of ideas to make the green smoothie look different!
anyways, today's smoothies for paul and i were made of a bunch of red chard (without the stems), an apple and a pear. yep!
i'm on my 2nd day of drinking a litre of apple juice in the morning. whoa. 4 more days until my liver/gallbladder cleanse. eek!

day 13 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

wow, day 13! i can't believe it!
well, today i made a less-sweet smoothie. i used an apple, pear, avocado and parsley.

the texture was a bit weird - not quite solid like a smoothie and i had to "drink" most of it with a spoon. oops.

 i didn't want to wake paul this morning so his smoothie was in the fridge until later when i blended it with a bit more water (i used 1.5 cups of filtered water) and a frozen banana.

day 12 of 30 green smoothie days in a row

today's smoothie was a few leaves short of a bunch of kale, 1 apple and 1 mango. trying to switch up the fruit and not rely on the frozen banana so much!

and... as to be expected, it was delicious!

within hmm, just over 12 hours (including sleep time), i have read andreas moritz's the liver and gallbladder miracle cleanse in anticipation for the cleanse i am doing on monday! eek! i have been curious about such a flush for quite some time and one of my friends already has a few done. i will most likely write about my findings as long as not too graphic ^_^ but basically i am super excited to see what happens and kinda nervous to see what kind of stuff i have been carrying around. last night when i was reading, i realized that i have been overeating again (i was so good when i first started the elimination diet in january - mostly probably because i hadn't figured out what i could eat yet!) and i worry about the stress i am putting on my digestive system! hopefully this weekend will be the start of something good for me!
