After trying and failing at this twice, I've finally discovered that adding a 16-20 oz can of tomatoes is the secret to making the leek juice palatable. It's an extra 90ish calories per day, but I just can't get the leek broth down otherwise. I also don't know why Mireille wants you to leave out the green tops, as they taste fine and that's the part with all the vitamins. I add a bit more water and boil them with everything else. While I haven't been able to make it a full day on just the leeks and broth, I've been consuming them intermittently and it's definately good for de-bloating. Yay leeks!

I rate this five stars, not because it's delicious, but because leeks have great detoxification benefits. I too have read this book and I thank Pikake21 for posting this recipe. I made this just to see if this was something I could eat/drink for two days, and I can. Thanks again!
