Juice cleanses have been the latest fad. While I find the bottled organic juices to be a huge marketing ploy and weary of the actual health benefits, I do see the positive outcomes from a day or two away from solid food.

My co-worker and I decided to do a day of smoothies. Not only did I still have a large amount of energy, but I felt lighter and happier. The following day I was also more aware of what I put into my body. After a day of drinking fruit and veggies its hard to wake up and eat a bowl of sugar cereal or spread that thick layer of butter on a waffle.

So, what has your experience been with juicing? Would you do one? 

PS. The green smoothie above is kale, spinach, pineapple, banana, and coconut water. The red-brownish smoothie pictured above is spinach, beets, ginger, carrots, apple, lemon and water.
