Juice Cleansing

Hi everyone!


For my first blog post I will be talking about my first juice cleanse I am currently taking part in! I bought a Groupon for a local raw food and juice bar called Khepra's by me here in D.C. It was such a good deal I just couldn't pass it up. I only just recently discovered Khepra's, and I cannot believe I didn't find it sooner! It has so many delicious raw/vegan menu options and their juices are so delicious.

For breakfast I had a huge jug of coconut water and a cup of green tea with lemon and cayenne, and then after spin class I had a peach/tangerine juice! Both were extremely delicious and surprisingly filling. I used to be be unsure about juice cleanses, because I had heard that they can crash your metabolism. Recently I started doing a bunch of my own research and learned how beneficial they are! I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle to begin with, but even a healthy digestive system needs a break once in a while. However, it's only the first day of three days of juicing, and I'm already eying the new jar of freshly ground peanut butter in my cabinet. Don't judge me if I accidentally eat the entire thing the night of the third day.  

I know the picture of the juices isn't the best quality, I only took it with my iPhone. For future posts I plan on using my sisters Canon so the pictures are more fun to look at!
