Started the 2-Day cleanse on Monday and it was MUCH harder than I thought. We ate 3 meals a day with a snack but I say 'meals' really loosely. Here is the breakdown below. And before you judge me for being way too negative, wait to finish reading my ENTIRE review...
BREAKFAST: Quinoa with prunes - OK I know a lot of people adore quinoa, it is healthy and packed with good stuff. I loathe it. I didn't realize how much until I did this. Although the prunes definitely helped to mix it up a little. Let's just say I got through it.

LUNCH: Blueberry and Banana Almond Milk Smoothie - This was actually really good so I looked forward to having a tasty smoothie after the quinoa... and please excuse the HORRIBLE selfie.
DINNER: Vegetable Soup with a side of Sauerkraut, Apple for dessert. I didn't even take a picture of this because I was too busy concentrating on actually eating it. The veggies consisted of onions, which I don't like, mushrooms, which I don't like, and celery, which is my favorite of the 3! I think I need a lesson in loving veggies because yowza this was really hard to do for 2 days.
DINNER, Day 2: I ended up nauseous on Night 1 so decided to substitute for Organic Veggie Lentil Soup instead. Still healthy but not as tough for me to swallow.
SNACK: Kale-Pineapple-Artichoke-Cucumber Juice - This juice was the daily 'snack' which tasted like eating lettuce. That being said, it actually was tolerable and helped in-between glasses of water throughout the day. Here's my hubby enjoying his green juice...

OVERALL REVIEW: Whew this cleanse was tough! I bitched and moaned HOWEVER I came out of it with a renewed sense of eating healthy. I even got in a workout while cleansing and worked out again today. Maybe I'm finally onto something here...
