While I experiment with detox recipes, I'm also experimenting with juices - perhaps to do a 1 or 3 day juice cleanse. I love the idea of being able to clean out my system and restart... but again, loving an idea and loving a reality are two different things. First, I need to taste some juice.I originally read about BluePrintCleanse on LearnVest.com - which is a fantastic personal finance website geared toward women. The women who founded the company were profiled. To try BluePrintCleanse, however, is incredibly expensive. Luckily I found Juice101, yet another wonderful website, that has recipes for DIY BPC.
As I get ready to work my way through the recipes, I decided to start with the Spicy Lemonade which does not require a juicer. Here is the BluePrintCleanse Spicy Lemonade recipe. Below I've reprinted the recipe using layperson measurements.
Spicy Lemonade
2 cups water
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp Agave Nectar
Squeeze the lemons. Mix all ingredients together. Chill.
Modification: Next time I would use 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper and 2 tbsp Agave Nectar.
What Gus said about it: Ack! Devil juice! Never make me drink that again!
Whatever Gus says, I think its tasty... although as I mentioned, I would make it more sweet and less spicy next time. You can viscerally feel your metabolism speeding up when you drink this juice!
