Day 3 started off with a lot to do and in terms of me also doing the 21 Day Challenge; hence the need to train for an hour a day.
I upped the amount of protein to compensate for not consuming any of the normal sources of protein like chicken or fish. The idea of a raw "fish" smoothie just did not appeal. I can eat sushi all day, but in a smoothie, hell no!
Breakfast Protein Shake
- 100ml (2 scoops) of high quality protein shake
- 250ml of rooibos tea - made 30 minutes before and allowed to cool
- pinch of green powder
- 5-6 sprigs of parsley
- 3-4 ice cubes
Blend in a high power blender for 1-2 minutes and drink.
Lunch - Banana and Avo Blitz
One of my favorite ingredients in a smoothie has always been avo. So for lunch today here is the avo and strawberry blitz
- Half a ripe avo
- 1 large banana
- 250ml 100% pure apple juice
- Handfull of Goji Berries
- 3-4 ice cubes
Blend in a high power blender for 1-2 minutes and drink.
Evening - Strawberry Surprise
The evening meal was one of the tastiest so far, the strawberry surprise
- One Medium Banana
- 3 Spinach leaves
- 10 medium size strawberries
- 200ml 100% pure orange juice
- Handfull of rolled oats
- Handfull of sunflower seeds
- 3-4 ice cubes
Blend in a high power blender for 1-2 minutes and drink.
Day three of the 10 Day Juice Feast completed... now off to a function.

Well with Day 1 of the 10 Day Juice Feast behind me, I thought I would give some feedback.
I ended the day exercising quite late which would usually have left me hungry, however this was not the case after the very filling smoothie I had for my evening meal
I slept very well and woke up more than an hour early feeling refreshed, which was quite an astonishing result after only the first day.
This morning I am going to make a smoothie with 2 of my most loved smoothie ingredients, banana and strawberry. I can honestly say that this is one of my personal favorite smoothies
Strawberry Zing
Day 2 Breakfast
- One large banana
- 200ml 100% pure grape juice
- 10 medium sized strawberries (about 125mg)
- 5-6 sprigs of coriander
- A handful of Goji Berries
- Thumb size piece of raw ginger
- Pinch of wheat grass (optional)
- 3-4 ice cubes
Blend in a high power blender for 1-2 minutes and drink.
