Reboot Part 2 JUICE ONLY: Menu, Shopping List, & Cost

So the first 5 days of the Reboot are coming to a close.  I'm headed into the JUICE ONLY portion of the Reboot...a part which I think is almost easier than the really strict "eating/juicing" phase.  There's something nice about less choices.  What am I going to eat today?  Um, juice.  It is recommended (and I agree) that you should try to reach an 80/20 ratio between veggies and fruit.  You're going to get the most benefit and nutrients out of the veggie juices and your energy will stay more level than if you constantly give it fruit juices (full of NATURAL sugars).  The other thing people often ask about is whether they can just buy store-bought juices.  Store bought just can't compare to the nutrients in fresh juices.  BUT, if you're in a hurry or out at a lunch, and it's your only option, then yes... get a store bought juice.  Just make sure it's 100 juice and doesn't have added sugar, corn syrup, or aspartame in it. 

So, here we go!! A couple tips:

  1. Aim for about 20 ounces of juice per "meal"

  2. Sip your juice through the day

  3. First thing each morning:  Drink 16 ounces of hot water with lemon, then enjoy your juice.

Drink lots of water: 64 - 100 ounces a day!  (The jointhereboot site also mentions drinking Coconut Water daily.  I personally am allergic to coconut, coconut milk, etc... so ignore this part completely.)
