As I recently mentioned in this post, a few days ago I completed my fifth extended juice fast.
Exactly five years ago I embarked on my first 92-day juice fast, and it's been the most astonishing and rewarding journey of transformation. I have explored many a powerful transformational tool in my never-ending quest for self discovery and empowerment, from breathwork to retiring to a remote ashram in India for a full year of meditation, chanting and contemplation. However, I have to say extended juice fasting has had an unprecedented impact in my life and year after year I keep coming back for more...
I'm awed and genuinely thrilled by the skyrocketing interest in juicing and I promise to try my best and continue to answer the avalanche of juicing questions I receive on a daily basis so you too may receive the enumerable benefits this wonderful practice has to offer.
Over the years, I've build for myself a solid and winning juicing plan complete with a great set of tools to support me along the way. Here is my little army of fave juicing companions which have all greatly contributed to the ease with which I have been able - year after year - to successfully complete these monthslong juice fast marathons.
For my second 92-juice fast, I felt that I needed to amp up my green juice intake and unfortunately my beloved Hurom, which is absolutely fantastic with most fruits, is way less impressive with leafy greens. So I decided to invest in my second juicer, the Breville! And I have to say I loooove this toy! The Breville is seriously amazing in the green juice department. It makes the best tasting green juice and in record time. Adding it to my juicing team has been a decision I haven’t regretted for an instant. It’s become one of my top juice fast must-haves.

You grow wheat grass? Whoa! You just keep surprising us Ndoema 🙂
I think the one I have is something like the Hurom, I don’t remember the brand. The carrot juice looks sumptuous, by the way.
This is why you look sooooo good. It pays to eat healthy ♥
I admire you for being able to last that long!
I’ve had a few 5-day juice fasts, but I’m scare of going longer. I feel like I might not last and I might “cheat” lol.
Oh wow the Breville is like the fanciest of all juicers I’ve seen. I’ll have to save up for that 🙁
Been looking for something like the BergHOFF Lemon Squeezer for a while now. I love lemon juices too and its really annoying to squeeze.
Wow you’ve gone a long way! So proud of you!
