Preparing Your Spring Break Body

Since spring break is next week for the students at the University of Florida, I decided to do an experiment hoping to get in shape before spring break. So, I tried a 3 day smoothie detox that I found on pinterest.

This 3 day detox consisted on 3 different smoothies a day for 3 days. To start out my day, I made breakfast smoothie that, in my opinion, was the best smoothie in the detox.

Breakfast Smoothie Recipe:

• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp flaxseed
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 banana
• 1/4 cup spinach 
• 1 tbs almond butter
• 2 tsp lemon juice

Lunch Smoothie Recipe:

• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 4 celery stalks
• 1 cucumber
• 1 cup kale
• 1/2 green apple
• 1/2 squeezed lime
• 1 tbs melted coconut oil
• 1 cup pineapple

The lunch smoothie was by far the worst tasting out of all the smoothies.

Dinner Smoothie Recipe:

• 1 1/2 cups coconut water
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup mango
• 1 cup kale
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• 1/4 avocado
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp flaxseed

Overall, the detox did make me feel healthy and gave my body a break from the harsh junk food I had perviously eaten.
