The Cleanse Part 2


The wait for Part 2 is over, friends. At last I shall unveil the remainder of our Clean eating plan. Please, no rushing or crowding, women and small children first. (heh heh)

Ok so last time we were together I was being tempting and tantalizing with fresh veggies and hummus. Yummer, as Tina would say and then I look at her with That Look and say "who says yummer anymore" and she'd say ME and then shove some hummus in her mouth. True story.

So to continue from yesterday:
Lunch time at the Rivera-Jollys goes a little something like this: an organic protein source and vegetables. So we've had salmon and veggies, and turkey burger patties and veggies, and veggie burgers and veggies...key word here: VEGGIES, as Tina would say and then I look at her with That Look and say "who says veggies anymore" and she'd say ME and then shove some hummus in her mouth. Another true story.

For lunch today we mixed it up a little. Micah whipped up an EXTRAORDINARY omlette with cage-free brown eggs and -you guessed it- veggies! Here's the recipie:

Take eggs, red, green and yellow bell peppers, lots of garlic, spinach, goat cheese and omlette 'em up in olive oil. A new Rivera-Jolly classic.
Again, we eat slowly and Mindfully. We thank our food for nourishing us.

Then it's supplement time. Can anyone say "horse pills?" Tina probably would and then I'd have to give her That Look and say "who says horse pills anymore" and, well, you know what happens next....

Here's a few things we are taking. Vitamin D, C, garlic, fish oil, probiotics, spirulina, papaya enzymes..And of course I pay attention to the dosages for the kids. No hate mail. Again. (heh heh)
This is an awesome liquid calcium supplement we are taking.
It tastes like blueberry chalk, but it's magical.

A few hours later we snack on cut up fruit that we dip in plain organic greek yogurt blended with a little agave sweetner. OMG IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIED AGAVE NECTAR YOU MUST!!! WE LOVE IT SO MUCH AND KNOW WE WILL NEVER EVER USE SUGAR AGAIN. SO WONDERFUL! You can all expect to get some for Christmas.

Before dinner we will drink some detox tea. I love this one by the Republic of Tea:

Dinner is fish and more veggies, or a protein smoothie, or a vegetable soup with brown rice. Then a few hours later we snack on raw almonds, or hummus, or more soup.

So there it is. The Rivera-Jolly Cleanse in all it's glory. Thanks for riding along.
By the way, after only four days, here's what I look like:
