Juice Feast... 30 Days?? Day one

Ok so after my Lake Powell trip, i have decided to do a juice feast! originally i wanted to do 3-5 days to jump start my cleaner version of my awesome plant~strong diet but after giving it some thought and after watching a few youtube videos, I'm seriously considering going 30 days!!
I know!! sounds extreme!! but i feel ready and i feel like right now is a good time to venture into this since my mind is right and i'm WANTING to do it.
also! this isn't the typical juice feast... I will be adding organic herbs and essential oils that are geared towards removing toxins and repairing tissues. I will be flooding my body with goodness from all angles!
I will take this journey one day at a time... one sip at a time. I love my body and I love myself, I only wish to come out of this cleansed and renewed... weight loss has nothing to do with it. although, I won't lie, if I shed a pound or two, you won't see me crying over it ;) it's just not my primary goal!

so! today started off as DAY ONE of my juice feast!! YAYYY!!!

today's intake and activity:

6am kickboxing class

1 tsp black walnut hull powder and 1 tsp kelp powder mixed in water

3/4 gallon fresh juice (collards, chard, kale, spinach, dandelion, parsley, apple and pear)

1/2 gallon water

mixed herbs

 a gallon and a half of fresh Norwalk juice. enough for two days.
my post workout mix: kelp powder and black walnut hull powder ~ Yum!
Cayenne pepper in water (watch out! this one has a KICK!)
cheers!!

Lake Powell Trip ~ Our Vegan Meal Plans!

This last week my husband and I took the girls up to Lake Powell for a week full of beach camping, boating and lake exploring! It was seriously a BLAST!! both girls learned how to knee board, and let me just say, they take after their dad when it comes to skill and looking damn cool on the water!

we rented a toy hauler to make camping on the beach more enjoyable and a little less... messy! ;)

(aren't they like sooo adorable!!!)
And let's not forget the boys!! their skills were quite impressive as well!!

This is such a quick and easy AND super delicious meal!!
we kept the food options simple since we were on the lake alot and away from the trailer.
