My liver and I are feeling not so innocent and WE cannot wait for our detox deliveries to commence tomorrow. In preparation, I've been trying to live life relatively purely since New Year's Eve. And what's more pure than an innocent smoothie? I always like to start the day with a mug of hot water and lemon, and a juice. A classic is carrot, apple and ginger, but wanting to support my liver's regeneration I poured over innocent smoothie recipe book for a miracle cure combination... There were a few that gave me that 'halo' feeling : the Carrot, Beetroot and Celery (2 carrots, 1 raw beetroot (or 2 baby ones), 1 stick of celery & 1 apple), and Celery, Apple and Mint (2 crunchy apples, 1 stick of celery, some fresh mint). These concoctions were my pick of the bunch. I'm already feeling more detox than retox... Another thing, when sugar is off the menu, instead of "the proof is in the pudding", I like to think "the proof is in the peeing". And I think the gang at innocent drinks agree with me... Why else would they include an 'innocent wee-ometer'? It is tricky to perfect your water intake when away from your usual routine, and when the weather is bbbbbrrrrrrrrr, oh so cold. Not that many people feel like drinking a cold glass of water when it's winter, le
t alone the recommended 8! It's not so hard when you're back in your routine at work. I always aim to fill up my 1 litre water bottle before I sit down to work, and then have another 500ml to work/on my way home. Plus the herbal teas through out the day. Well, at least there are some good things about returning to the office and a regular routine. Further positives to this 'juicing and water' habit is that I feel alert, and am better able to concentrate. Although, I think some of my increased concentration levels is having to get away from the desk and have a break...well...what with all that water and all!
