I don’t normally go for full-on organized detoxes and cleanses, but this year, I’m a little desperate. It’s August 10th, so you might think - suck it up, summer is almost over - but here in Texas Hill Country, in the middle of a drought and one of the hottest, driest summers EVER, we’re really only half-way through the hot season. It could be October before we get a break, and I’m already feeling worn out, dazed and confused.
So I was at the farmer’s market smelling the cantaloupe and heard a farmer tell a customer that the watermelons are going to be sweet perfection this summer because they LOVE the drought, and I thought, “I could eat a ton of watermelon right now. Maybe I should do a fruit detox…”
And here we are.
On August 19, right after lunch, I’ll go for a simple MONO-DIET - (1 food or food group only) until lunchtime on Monday, August 22.
I’m choosing fruit because all I want right now is crisp, juicy, cool and delicious. If you have concerns about all the natural sugar in fruit, you can choose vegeys or something like brown rice, which is great for the giving the digestive system a good break. But I want FRUIT! Fruit popsicles, fruit smoothies, big chunks of crunchy watermelon, grilled peaches and pineapple. Fresh, perfect, delicious, delightful, delectable FRUIT.
Wanna clean out and cool off with me?
