My Trader Joe’s Half Day Juice Cleanse

Hacked more expensive juice offerings and came up with this two-meal juice cleanse plan.

I am not a nutritionist nor a qualified medical professional though skipping two meals probably wouldn’t be a big concern. (I realize that some people are advised to eat frequently.)  There will be no mention of the word *detox* in this blog post. I devised this half day cleanse to give my digestive tract a break, to take a break from post-pandemic cooking, which is tough, and to get more mindful about food consumption. With a total of 520 calories, this plan may possibly meet the caloric requirements for two meals.

For a half day, that’s two meals, breakfast and lunch, one juice every two hours.

1 Cold Pressed Juice Green, 90 calories

1 Cold Pressed Juice Red, 110 calories

1 Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie, 320 calories – for the home stretch

Add a Suja Cold-Pressed Lemon Ginger Cayenne depending on your ambition.

Followed up with a lighter than usual dinner.  A salad with protein would have been better.  I did this during some spring cleaning, totally habit stacking and being a saint of stoicism.
