If you are considering a 5 day “spring cleanse” here is a shopping list and recipes for 5 days of fresh juice — which, along with water, will be all you “eat” for those 5 wonderful days.
If your bloodtype is O or B and you typically require at least 50 grams of protein daily for optimal wellbeing, you may consider adding home-made “bone broth” using an organic chicken carcass, celery, onions, garlic, ginger, etc. or a similar clear broth from simmering a fresh fish head. For making juice from the fresh organic produce I like the good old Champion juicer, also the “Juiceman” juicer, but there are many good ones out there.
Shopping list:
25 pound bag of #2 organic carrots (not the prettiest, but perfect for juicing)
10 pound of organic beets
10 packets of organic celery stalks
10 pounds of organic apples
5 pounds of organic pears

Please consider using all the pulp that is generated either as compost in your garden, or freeze to make veggie patties later. To make veggie patties, mash some tofu (or whisked egg if you don’t need to go 100% veggie) with some of the veggie pulp, form into patties and bake for 10-15 minutes at 325, then flip over for 4-5 more minutes. Lightly grease the pan with coconut butter or grapeseed or olive oil first. With the fruit pulp, you can concoct tasty cookies and cook in the same way.
