One key to the cleanse is preparation. Because of our different schedules, Saturdays work nicely for shopping and prep, even if trader Joe's is a nightmare and a half on Saturdays (side note: we ran into one of my former gymnasts who has been recovering from an eating disorder there and she looks so good! And her and her mom invited me over to catch up).
I took some pictures of today for your enjoyment
Elizabeth posted a pic of a plate of cookies on her blog. Today this plate held carrots for carrot ginger soup.
This is Elizabeth making almond butter. Walnuts are soaking and sweet potatoes are roasting.
Seeds that were eventually burned, the beginnings of soup, and the remnants of cauliflower popcorn.
This cutting board cut so many things. Tonic ice cubes were also prepped here.
After all our labor, we went to a cleanse friendly restaurant, Thrive. It's walking distance from our house and a great place for people with a lot of allergies or who care a lot about what they eat. I had the special - raw collard burritos with sprouts, avocados, hummus and a bunch of other good stuff - and Elizabeth had the famous Buddha Bowl. I've loved everything I've eaten there. It's a little pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for. And the food is filling and satisfying so we both got two meals out of it.
So that's a prep day in the life of cleansers.
