3 Day Refresh - Day 2 is in the books!

From top to bottom, left to right:
1) Breakfast - Water first + Shakeology with your favorite fruit, or if you’re blending it, ½ banana is always amazing and a creamy addition.

2) Fiber sweep (am snack) - Today I stirred this much faster and enjoyed it 100%. Less water, stir quickly and throw it back, that’s the secret :)

3) Lunch - Another delicious day and I’m sad that I’m already ⅔ done with this cleanse. It really isn’t hard and the benefits you reap, while eating 5 times a day, is pure amazing. I made a bowl again with 1.5 tsp nut butter stirred in, and berries and red peppers on the side. There are heaps of options in the kit so no day has to be the same.

4) Kalange juice (pm snack) - I’m still not a huge fan of juicing, I’ll be honest. there is so much clean-up and the loss of fiber confuses me. I want that fiber in my body! But, I’m a rule follower and I’m supposed to get as many mushy foods or drink things through a straw while I heal, so juicing it is. I had a side of red peppers and cherry tomatoes (not pictured) See 3-Day Refresh recipes here.

5) Dinner - Last Vanilla Fresh of the day and no peanut butter allowed at dinner; no dramas, it was still delicious. My 7 yr old thought it was frosting and was begging for a taste. Tonight I chose a dinner recipe that required cooking thinking it would be softer / easier only teeth. I made the “Kale with Pine Nuts” but at the last second, I omitted the pine nuts and added olive oil instead for a healthy fat. I’m worried the pine nuts will get stuck in my incision. Added a few cherry tomatoes too for color and flavor and it was delicious!

Day 2 is done and I’m looking forward to Day 3!! Read about Day 1 and Day 3 here.
