Rainbow Cleanse

Just wrapped up a 5 day juice cleanse so no food to share! I will share the juices I had though. I came up with them on my own. I call this the Rainbow Cleanse because I named each drink after a colour. I also drank them in the same order each day, choosing between green 1 or 2. It went orange, red, green, yellow, purple, white.I had the homemade almond milk on days 2 and 3 only. I also had a coconut water today and Yogi Peach Detox tea last night.  Oh and each morning I had water with Bragg's apple cider vinegar in it.

I had this Sunday night as my pre-cleanse meal. Yummm. Veggies + hummus. I actually had this for dinner on Saturday too, at a restaurant.

this cleanse was pretty inexpensive. I already had oranges, grapefruit and a few things. It was probably around $50 all together.

Lost about 4lbs, less than my previous cleanses. I had put on a few pounds this month because I drank a lot more than usual so I'm hoping to keep that off in the long run. Enjoyed my slimmer than usual stomach today at a pool party haha I don't cleanse for weightloss though, it's not a goal of mine. It can work for weightloss if you majorly change your diet after from what it was prior. I do plan on making a point to eat even more clean. I also just ordered Crazy Sexy Diet by Kriss Carr so eventually I plan on doing her 21 day cleanse!  For more info on cleanses I've done just use the search bar! :)
