MEAL 1: Detox Smoothie
MEAL 1 – DETOX Smoothie can be the easiest and naturally sweatiest because fruit can be added. Work together to search the Internet for some of the best. Again, be sure to include some of the following high alkaline foods.
The smoothie can be a simple as the M-Wiggles Detox Blend.
You know the ingredients and can even add GINGER (1 inch thinly sliced and added). Plus you can swap out the cilantro with parsley while adding 3 celery ribs and a double amount of chia seeds to make it more gel like.
Explore and have fun and you build meal combination which works best for you. Build them and own them while know exactly what goes into your body too.

You want foods which are high in chlorophyll, like the dark leafy greens, parsley, cilantro, seaweed & aloe-vera

MEAL 3: Puréed Soup
MEAL 3: Pureed Soup – Keep it simple. Less ingredients can equal less time, work or even money to purchase.
Do some research to explore Pureed Soup recipes. Then create the one that most agree with your current interest or reality.
One batch can last you for 3 to 4 servings which also represent days in our case. Don’t let your mind and the thoughts of boredom stop you from eating the same things because we want to limit & control what is going in to assist with the detox process.
Keep it simple when you explore the soup options. On batch of soup can last you a week or approximately 2-4 days pending the recipe. I advise that you start with a bean base and add veggies, spices and herbs to the recipe. AVOID SALT.
Here is a resource to explore.

MEAL 4:Protein Shake (20g)
MEAL 4: Stay away from high carbohydrate proteins such as Muscle Milk. Do your homework in this area too. Some of my favorites or proteins of interest are linked below…
Protein – Whey is basically a fast acting protein and for our purpose, we can get away with using it before or/and even after working out. http://www.gnc.com/GNC-Pro-Performance-AMP-Amplified-Wheybolic-Extreme-60-Original/product.jsp?productId=41785896&cp=3593187.45670596.2108294
