They help me detox and get back on track, filling me with essential nutrients that are good for my body. I might have a smoothie for breakfast, some warm plain brown rice and possibly some scrambled egg whites for lunch, a juice in the afternoon, and then my Detox Broth with poached chicken for dinner. I always incorporate some protein when doing a juice cleanse. For me, it’s an important component in getting my strength back and feeling balanced. Some of the recipes in this chapter can be made in a regular blender; some need a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, to come together; and others are true juices, requiring an electric juicer. But I’ve given you options so you can make some of these recipes if you have only a standard blender. If you are in the market for a new blender, consider a Vitamix brand. They are expensive but worth the money; they can liquefy almost anything and froth up fruits and vegetables with the addition of just ice to make smoothie-like treats that are dairy-free and delicious.
