One Day Vegan Detox

One day vegan detox
----------------------------
During my recent visit to Jindals nature cure, I learnt about fasting on liquids. During the whole day, I got 9 different drinks and I was surprised that I wasn't hungry. Until then, I wasn't confident of fasting and found it extremely difficult to fast. I would get a head ache if I fasted and felt weak. This fasting on liquids works as a wonderful detox for the body. After I came back, I tried it on my own and it did go well. Here is what I had for the entire day.

7:00 am. I started my day with half cup almond milk,strawberry and blueberries smoothie as I had to go to gym for my work out. 

9:30 After I came back, I had a glass of tender coconut water.
12:00 One bowl of clear lemon coriander soup.

3:00 Almond milk banana avocado smoothie

6:00 Green apple orange basil juice
8 :00 A big bowl of veg soup

I didn't feel hungry or tired the entire day. On the contrary, I felt more energetic. I even had to go to a party yesterday, and to my surprise I didn't have any craving.

I felt so wonderful and I am already looking forward to my next week's detox which is every Monday. 

Here are the quick recipes.

Almond Milk, Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

1/4 cup almond milk

4 strawberries

10 blueberries

Blend together and serve immediately

In my blog , I have shared the recipe of home made almond milk earlier. This smoothie gave me enough energy to kick start my day well and also keep up with energy required for the workout at 8 o clock. I did a 20 min running  followed by 30 min stretching and weight exercise. Returned at 9 from gym and had a glass of coconut water. 

Coconut water again is very high in nutritional value and quenches the thirst while providing the body with essential electrolytes.

Clear Lemon Coriander Soup

Pl see the recipe posted on 8th Feb for this soup. This soup nourishes the body and keeps the hunger pangs down as it has lemon and ginger. 

Almond milk Avocado and Banana smoothie

1/2 cup almond milk blended with 1/2 ripe avocado and 1 banana. This smoothie is high in calories and also essential fats. It was just right to drink that time when it was post lunch time and I was very hungry. It kept me full for next 3 hours. 

Green Apple Basil juice

In the fruit juicer, extract juice of half orange, 1 green apple and 4-5 basil leaves. Mix 3-4 cubes of ice and serve immediately. I sipped the juice slowly while the kids were enjoying their friends birthday party. The dinner served at the party was surely mouth watering, but to my surprise I didn't crave any of it and did feel proud of my self control.

After we returned home by 8.30, I had a big bowl of veg soup.

Vegetarian mixed veg soup

1 small tomato

1 small zucchini

4 inch piece of white pumpkin

1 carrot

3-4 leaves of coriander leaves

2 inch piece of red pumpkin

Wash all these veggies pressure cook for 1 whistle. Once cooled down, blend and strain. 

Add 1 tsp of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup again and serve immediately. It is delicious and filling. 

Other options for drinks for detox are Aloe Vera juice. Carrot and beetroot juice. Last week, I didn't have the Avocado smoothie instead had Aloe Vera and carrot beetroot juice. There are many more options depending upon choice/mood and availability.

Hope you will enjoy doing it.
