What Are My Detox Members Are Saying….?

My January Detox Tele-Group is nearing the end of our 8 week course. Checking in with my members has been great – everyone is working towards their goals and learning deep insights about how their individual body reacts to food and lifestyle stress:

“I’m finally losing weight - and my ‘mummy tummy’! My menstrual cycle is much better in terms of length and frequency, and my digestion is really improved. Making small changes to my routine and diet have been huge for me. I feel more liberated and I feel so much better!”

- Sarah C., Mom to 3

“I’m just really pleased with how I feel. It feels to natural to make these changes. I feel satisfied with the healthy foods that I’m eating now.”

- Christine D., Insurance Sales

“I’m more awake and my work is more productive. My energy is much better.”

- Trish P., Speech Therapist

**Keep your eyes open for my new April Fast-Track Detox! I’ll announce the details soon, and I’m getting all the pieces together to ensure that this program is a huge success!

Be well,

Alexandra

Skin-tastic Juice for health and beauty

I love vegetables in all forms. Steamed, raw, baked, naked and smothered in vegan mushroom gravy. I also love a huge heaping glass of fresh vegetable juice. Nothing makes my body light up with energy like the easy healing from concentrated vitamins, enzymes and phytonutrients!

While having a juicer is necessary to make this recipe, you might consider finally buying one! I’ve had my Juiceman Jr.($85) for 8 years and it shows no signs of slowing. We make fresh “green juices” at least a few times a week. I often make a double batch and stir in a teaspoon of vitamin C powder to the half I won’t drink fresh. The vitamin C protects the stored juice (kept in an air-tight glass container, of course) from losing it’s potency. This way I can have fresh, powerful juice for a couple of days and save time.

Here’s my current favorite juice recipe:

5 big leaves of kale

2 stalks celery

1 small or 1/2 of a large cucumber (peeled if you can’t find it unwaxed)

1-2 apples (Honeycrisp are my absolute favorite)

1 lemon, yellow rind cut away, but as much as the white pith still in tact, as this is where the majority of the bioflavonoids hang out

1/2 organic red bell pepper

Just wait – you will love this!
