A Trip to the Local Farmer’s Market

Michelle Martin — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:27:54 +0000

Every chance I get, I try to make a trip to the local farmer’s market on Sundays. I can’t think of a better way to start any day than walking the market tents and scoping out the produce, all while supporting small businesses and local farmers.

For this prep, I started my morning off with a warm mug of water and lemon along with a bowl of mixed berries. I made a green smoothie to go and drank it when I started to get a little hungry at work. For dinner, I ate a spinach salad topped with cucumbers and tomatoes and used lemon juice for dressing. This was followed by a light salmon and cooked spinach. By prepping with food from ingredients contained in the actual juices, it made the process so much easier and even caused me to crave these foods after the cleanse rather than burgers and fries.
