I’m having a love affair with algae. Spirulina to be specific. I’ve been craving it (along with…well…most things) lately so when I saw that Trader Joe’s now sells an affordable bottle of the green goodness, I jumped on it! I melted into the first taste, it was oddly cheesy and nutty and all around wonderful. It’s also chewable. So while I would usually be adding a scoop or two of the powder to a juice, now I’m just eating it between sips of freshly squeezed orange juice. I tried to rationalize this. Spirulina. How bad can it be? Well not bad at all…unless you’ve decided to juice exclusively in order to wake up as much old waste and cleanse
as much as possible for a certain period of time. And when you haven’t chewed anything (besides some bee pollen once in a while) for over two months it’s easy to get a little chew-happy. These are little bottles but I’ve munched my way through one and a half of them in the last three days. I’m pretty sure that’s not on the juice feasting protocol. Not that I’m following anybody’s rules but I did check with Courtney (Spirulina Junkie and Juice Feasting Queen) who let me know that the “official” word is 2 Tbsp of spirulina per day. Oops. On the one hand, I had a *killer* colonic today pouring heavy, heavy, heavy old waste which left me feeling better than I have in days. I thought this could have had something to do with the spirulina. Still, there is plenty of time in my life for detoxing with food, I’ve set aside this time for juicing and no to minimal digestion. I’d say that means holding back on the seaweed love a bit.
Once I’m done with this though I’m thinking of creating a recipe involving kelp noodles, spirulina avocado sauce and nori sheets. Seaweed, wrapped in seaweed, dipped in seaweed. Yum

last of my juice today (pineapple/orange, omg) and loving it. Also, no pesky cravings which was nice.
Day five and I’m quite tired with a headache that’s been there since this morning. I’ve had far too little sleep and too many days without any colon cleansing. Not recommended. I’ve had some cravings start to come up as well. Tonight I did some dry brushing and took a long hot bath with 
the hardest. That has not at all been the case for me, I can’t believe how easy it’s been! I’ve been very deprived of sleep and worked some very long days but I’m still going strong! In fact, I recovered from my flight yesterday about a hundred billion times easier than usual.
