When a journey is very long in time it is easy to fall into fast foods and, especially if like us you travel on motorcycle, become really difficult to to have a balanced diet because it is not often when you can have a proper kitchen or the necessary ingredients.
The truth is that now when we think about we have no idea from where we got the strength for such an intense trip, for sure it was the motivation. A strong and positive mind was our super power to overcome each challenge on the road. But feeling strong is one thing and being strong it is another very different thing.
That is why every time we finished an intense stage of the trip and we stopped to rest for a few days somewhere, we tried to clean the body as quickly as possible, and to be able to do it the detox smoothies is one of the best ways to start eliminating the toxins that we were accumulating.
