// Day 1//

My friend Lindsay and I decided to go on a fifteen day detox diet and for these next two weeks, I’m going to post about my progress and any recipes that I use/create. My house is currently filled with fruit and today I bought some sugar free carnation drink mixes (accidentally bought all chocolate, instead of assorted..whoops) to give me some extra protein in my smoothies. I also bought tea, which is going to kill me to drink, and coconut water (never tried it). I’m really nervous about adding spinach and kale to my drinks because I hate the idea of drinking vegetables, it just creeps me out.

Today I woke up and felt like I was going to puke so I just had some grapes and went to the gym. The entire hour of spin kicked my ass and I was planning on staying to do abs and weights but I just felt too sick. I hope I get to them later on. After I got home and showered, I made my first smoothie for lunch which turned out better than I expected!

Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie

• 1/4 cup mango
• 1/2 cup raspberries
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 chocolate protein mix
• Ice

Fail, I just found out the chocolate mix has 5-8 mg of caffeine which I’m not supposed to have on this diet and the protein comes from a small amount of skim milk, also not allowed! Okay maybe I need to check out a vitamin store for protein powders that DO NOT contain these things…

Check. I bought some unsweetened vanilla protein powder that is wheat and dairy free. And for the record, spinach smoothies aren’t quiteee as bad as I thought they were going to be. Also- definitely can’t drink tea. I just can’t bring myself to do it. Yuck! My dinner consisted of an all green smoothie I kind of just threw together. It had the protein powder, spinach, honeydew, and a kiwi in it. It wasn’t as bad as I imagined it would be but just like I predicted, it didn’t keep me as full as a dinner with lean meat would.
