Woohoo to Day 2! Easier than Day 1? Feeling cleaner already? Keep it up, champs!!
is there a diff soup we can sub for this, I have tried and don’t care for this one….
Hey Susan, Instead of the Carrot Ginger Soup, you could try a homemade veggie-heavy vegetable soup or the Curried Sweet Potato Soup on Day 7. It’s good enough to eat twice in 1 week
-Jen
ok perfect, thanks!!
I made this soup and loved it! I was so excited how it turned out and to share it with my family. They did not like it. They were nice about it and I made them something else. I think it was the ginger. Too funny!
That’s so funny, Kerry! I LOOOVE that soup too, but you definitely have to like ginger. Your taste buds are likely changing and things are tasting different/better this week too. On Day 1, I always enjoy that morning fruit like it’s the best thing I’ve eaten my whole life.
XOXO Jen
Can you use a juicer for the carrot cucumber orange shake?
You certainly can juice the ingredients for the Cuke shake–it just won’t be as filling, but still super great for detoxing! xoxo Jen
Hi Jen – Have you created a shopping list for this detox?
I also loved the soup! I don’t have the Almond milk for Day 3′s Shamrock Smoothie. Can I use something else for this one or should I use Day 2′s shake again?
Do you have another non-dairy milk on hand? Soymilk, or even water would work for the Shamrock Smoothie since the banana is what really makes it creamy. Yesterday’s shake is fine too, I just want you to try the Shamrock b/c it’s so good!
How many rice crackers with the Carrot Soup?
10 maybe? depends on the size!
