More Juice!

So I've made it a weekly ritual of one day of the week of raw eats.

Breakfast: 
-smoothie: juice pulp, frozen fruit, flax, chia seeds, water, almond milk.

Snack 1:
-orange and carrot juice

Lunch:
-smoothie: spinach, banana, strawberries, dates, chia seeds, flax, water, ice

Snack:
-green juice

Dinner:
-everything in the kitchen sink juice

Snack:
-carrots topped with PB
-drink: almond milk, dates, banana, chia, flax, cinnamon, nutmeg

I do this once a week because I eat so much protein throughout just one day (including protein powder), I kinda want to give my gut a break from all that. I detox my intestines and bod and I can really notice a difference. In the morning following my raw day, I'm uber lean, I completely empty my tank (if you know what I mean haha) and my skin feels amazing.
I am not saying go and do this but I eat big hearty meals (a lot of food!) the other 6 days so one day off changes up routine and metabolism.

New Juicer!

Wow why haven't I went and bought a juicer sooner?!?
I have a local Juice Bar where I would quite often; for a 16oz juice (only 3 fruits/veggies-50c added for each additional) is it $6 but mine is usually more since my favorite combo is:
Spinach, apple, carrots, lemon, ginger

Well at Costco they had one for $80 so I did some quick research and read good reviews so boom bought it!
I now have at least one juice a day!
I made this beauty and had to hate because OMG it's heavenly!
16oz:
1 small sweet potato
10-12 strawberries
3 celery stalks (I used the ones with the leaves)
1/2 green apple

Not only is it uber pretty but the taste is divine! 
It's a must try! If you don't have a juicer see if your local juice bar has these ingredients, if not being it in and they'll add it for you!
