Detox Diet: Days 5 & 6
Almost half way there – and I cannot even tell you how much I would love a glass of wine or a cup of coffee! Fortunately, my insatiable sweet tooth has been met with fruit smoothies that are incredible. Frozen fruit makes all the difference for making a delicious treat – especially as we’re waiting for the weather to cool down in Texas.
Word of advice – if you’re using bananas, peel and cut them BEFORE sticking them in the freezer. Lesson learned.
Mixed Berry Smoothie (thanks to the Hormone Diet)
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blackberries
1/4 cup blueberries
1 cup water
1 scoop of vanilla Whey Protein (make sure it’s 100% isolate – no concentrate allowed)Mix all in a blender and blend to perfection – it’s amazing! To make the smoothie even healthier, add flax seeds.
My sinuses have still been killing me, but I am hopeful I can finally start working out today. For someone who works out at least 4 times a week, I am desperately in need of a solid workout. At least the weight is still coming off, otherwise I’d feel a tad bit guilty. 
My meals for Days 5 & 6 were more or less a repeat of everything I have had from days 1-4…except for the smoothies. Those were a special discovery for which I am so incredibly thankful. My next step is to master a Mango Smoothie – it’s a whole new world, now.
How big is the smoothie?! Thats a lot of berries! And what kind of whey are you using? I dont think I asked you.
It’s about 24 ounces. I actually bought a frozen pack that includes blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. I used 1.5 cups of that and then a 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries.
I’m using Nectar protein – it’s the vanilla bean. Tastes slightly odd with the fruit, but not horrible. I’m sure a plain vanilla would be better, though.
wow, thatll fill you up! I want to try it with my strawberry kiwi Nectar.
