How to break a fast – the raw vegan way

I survived my two day fast of water with fresh lemon squeezed in it, and ok, I may have cheated a tinsy tiny bit yesterday evening but it wasn’t too hard to do.

So this morning I delayed gratification until after I dropped the kids at school so I could share how I was going to do it.

I made this smoothie up on the hoof and it turned out delicious, thank gawd!  Please try to ignore the HUGE spot I’ve got… what can I say? Perils of detoxing and better out than in!  I WILL have beautiful skin if I just blooming well stick with a more healthy lifestyle.. I just need to look at this video to remind myself of that if a get some humungous sugar or dairy craving eh *lol*


Mmmm… yummy..  ok, here’s the ingredients again if you want to have go:

  • handful of spinach
  • 2 sticks of celery
  • 1 green apple
  • 2 small savoy cabbage leaves
  • 1 inch slice of pineapple, rind removed
  • slice of unwaxed lemon, rind on
  • 1/3 of a cucumber
  • 1 courgette (zucchini)
  • juice that lot then blend with half an avocado and some ice
  • add supplements such as Udo’s oil and bio acidophilus before blending if you like
  • remember to swill round your mouth before swallowing ‘chew it’

The one I made for lunch was slightly bitter, from the greens I think, and I don’t have a picture but it was made of:

  • greens (dunno what the stuff is – large dark green leaves tho)
  • 1 apple
  • 3 carrots
  • slice of lemon
  • some broccoli – head and stalk
  • 1 inch slice of pineapple
  • juice that and blend with some ice and half frozen banana
  • I also added 2tsp of spirulina before blending

  1. Yeah Sarah…no ‘stabbing around with a blunt thing’ lol! That juice looks great. My sister (Jodi Lizewski) has joined the Raw Food Rehab site also and has been looking for juice recipes (she’s not yet comfortable just throwing a bunch of things together as I do!) so I’ll send her over here to your site so she can she what you’re doing. Great job on the two day water fast, btw…I’m impressed!
