 Now onto some cleanse food! First of all, the cleanse I'm doing is the Crazy Sexy Diet cleanse by Kris Carr. That is also the name of the book. It has soo much information on eating clean and high alkaline; I love it and really glad I bought it. For the cleanse I will be eating gluten free, no sugar besides Stevia/agave (but I only have powdered sugar and find it gross so unless I splurge on the liquid stuff I won't be having that), very little processed food (vegan substitutes are okay but, like, no or oreos lol), 80% alkaline/20% acidic, no caffeine (I have had some green tea though), no alcohol and of course, vegan. Now that isn't too challenging for me because I already eat pretty clean and high alkaline. The biggest change/challenge for me is the gluten-free because I'm not used to that. You don't have to go gluten free for the cleanse but I wanted to try it. I've been wanting to cut back on gluten anyway. Unless I feel really sick when I start having it again, I don't plan on giving it up fully but we'll see! No caffeine or alcohol for 21 days isn't a big deal for me but not things I will give up after the cleanse.  My hope is that this will create good habits that have me eating cleaner than ever! So far so good.

I will * the recipes that are from the book Crazy Sexy Diet.  Also, for the first week Kris Carr gives you a sample menu so I mostly stuck to that where as week two and week three I am planning myself.

Day One:

juice, *tofu eggless salad wrap, carrot + hummus, *kale avocado salad + *teriyaki tofu, banana with cinnamon

 Day Two

*green guru smoothie, salad, apple with almond butter, dark chocolate (not pictured), *Thai "peanut" veggies with quinoa

 Day Three:

juice, carrot cake balls, juice, *I love nori rolls

 Day Four:

 gluten free waffles with chia pudding and vanilla almond yogurt (not pictured), juice, carrot cake ball, *tomato rice soup

It doesn't look like a ton of food but honestly, everything has been very filling/satisfying! I haven't felt hungry and definitely not starved. I try to start each morning with water and lemon. During the day/evening I'll have herbal tea and water.

I have been posting my daily eats to Tumblr every day so if you wanna follow along there HERE is the link.
