Blended salad fast?

[doit]

Can you do a blended salad fast?

[Veganforlife]

I think so. That's kind of what I am doing. I do "green smoothies" which many times turn out to be blended salads and fresh juiced fruit juices and tea and water...

Thanks. I have so much energy when I eat blended salads.

I try to do water fasting of at least 36 hours on the weekends. I can't water fast when working because I drive a school bus. Spring break starts after school on the 3rd of next month. I'm going to do a water fast of at least a week starting then.

Do you think I could break a water fast with a blended salad?

[Veganforlife]

I think breaking a water fast with a blended salad would be okay, as long as it's not got really intense flavors in it, like onion, garlic and the like. I would make it a very "gentle" salad.

I don't know though. Others that have fasted way longer (more) than I might chime in...

ok, thanks.

i wouldn't break a water fast with smoothies. nope... you need to break it waaaaaay more gently than that.

transition to juices and then to blended salads (aka smoothies)...

is breaking it with orange and grapefruit juice bad? Ive heard not to drink citrus juices while fasting...I ask this because there is a fruit stand that has fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice so this is conveniant rather than jucing my own. Is there anywhere online you can order same day or overnight delivery for other raw fresh juices? Besides my juicer isnt that great and i feel Im wasting atleast 50% of the fruit from not getting all the juice out of it. I re-juice the pulp and manage to get maybe another tablespoon or 2 from that but the pulp still has much juice in it.

I'm doing another mini water fast this weekend. I haven't eaten since Thurs. the 26th at 8pm. I am going to break this fast tomorrow about 8pm. That will make a 72 hour fast. Then after working all next week, I'll be on vacation. I'll start my first longer fast. I'm going to try for at least 10 days.

Thanks Aleesha. Tomorrow at 8pm I'll make some apple juice and break my fast with that.

Could you have some nut milk when breaking a fast?

[Aleesha Sattva]

i strongly recommend you wait till morning and then break your fast. first, you don't need the calories at that time of night... and secondly, IF it starts up your digestion... you want to do that in the morning, not at night.

[Aleesha Sattva]

i didn't see your last question. no i would not use nut mylk to break a fast. it's too heavy and harder to digest. but that's my preference.

i live on oj, pineapple and other juices for months... so i have no idea why you couldn't break a smoothie feast with fruit juices.

[Rawling]

oops i meant breaking a water fast with the citrus juices.

[Aleesha Sattva]

same with water... i don't know why you couldn't. perhaps you should do some more research on it???
