BPC – Day 1 – Juice 2

So in case you’re wondering, BPC is Blueprint Cleanse… just so we’re clear.  So I finished my first juice a little after 10:00am and have been hungry and miserable ever since.  I had a cup of herbal tea and I have no clue if it made me nauseous or if it helped.  I finally laid down and took a nap in misery.  I woke up around 1:00pm, ready for Juice 2 – “Famished” as A says.

When I asked A about juice 2, he said it was “Delicious”.  He’s been savoring it for a while rather than chugging it down.  I have to agree.  Juice 2 is Pineapple Apple Mint or PAM.  It is delicious.  It’s fruity and minty and lovely and is making me much less miserable.  I too am savoring it.  I’ve managed to make 1 bottle last for about 30 minutes so far.  I may cry when it’s done.

Blueprint Cleanse – Day 1 – Juice 1

3 days worth of Blueprint cleanse juices from Whole Foods

A and I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning (9:30 am) ready to juice.  Now here’s something you should know.  We TRY to be healthy, but as you can see from the bacon in the fridge, the diet coke peeking out, and the distinctive top of wine bottles – we also love food and wine and we LOVE bacon….more on that later.  We are both avid coffee drinkers.  If you don’t believe me, please check out A’s coffee thermos….

You think you love coffee….do you drink one of these a day?

yeah, we love coffee.  We also love our wine and did I mention bacon.  I say this to say that if he and I can make it through this, then you dear reader, should not be worried.  Here’s the other thing.  I tried to do the pre-cleanse of cutting out meat and processed food.  I failed.  Just the day before I had a delicious chicken tikka panini from Whole Foods.  I also had pound cake and wine.  We had wine.  Soo….this might be more painful for us than need be since we blatantly ignored the pre-cleanse.

So Juice one, the green juice was drank at 9:30 a.m.  Now, I already knew what to expect and liked the green juice.  After one big swallow.  A groans and says, “It’s going to be a long day…” as he frowned at the bottle.  Now, he didn’t hate it, but he did call it a salad in a bottle.  He finished it, but without gusto and enjoyment 🙂 I think his green juice experience is par for the norm.  If you don’t do green juice, you’ll find this one hard.  To his credit, he didn’t need to embellish it with lemon juice or agave nectar, both of which I offered (what a trooper).  As for me, green juice down.  Yum.  Dying for a cup of coffee, gonna have some herbal tea in a few to see if something hot will stave off the headache I already feel coming on…..
