Smoothie Cleanse

 
 
The 10 day Green Smoothie Cleanse come from a Book on Facebook, and fan page with the same name:
 
The recommendation is to do the cleanse only for 10 days, not to continue this cleanse for more than 10 days. Below you'll find the ingredients, recipes and suggestions for the 10 days. If you have any questions you can contact me or go to the webpage for more details.
 
I did it for 10 days, lost 12 lbs... VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS!!!!!
 
Hope to hear your thoughts and success stories.

Full Cleanse Summary

1.     DRINK SMOOTHIES: Each day, drink three green smoothies; one for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can also sip on the smoothie throughout the day as you get hungry. It is important to drink a smoothie or eat a snack every three to four hours to keep your metabolism revved up. Each smoothie should contain about 12 to 16 ounces of liquid. Simply prepare your entire day’s worth of green smoothies in the morning and pack it up to take with you. Keep it refrigerated as much as possible.

2.     EAT SNACKS: You may snack on apples, celery, carrots, cucumbers, and other crunchy veggies that are appealing to you throughout the day. Other high-protein snacks include unsweetened peanut butter, hard-boiled eggs, and raw or unsalted nuts and seeds (only a handful).

3.    DRINK WATER AND DETOX TEA: Drink at least eight glasses of water (64 ounces) per day, and drink detox or herbal teas as desired. Drink the detox tea first thing every morning as it aids the detox process by cleansing the detox organs— kidneys, liver, skin, etc.

4.    KEEP BOWELS MOVING: Perform one of the two methods for colon cleansing to ensure you have one to three bowel movements per day while detoxing. (SEE BELOW)

5.    DO NOT EAT refined sugar, meat, milk, cheese, liquor, beer, coffee, sodas/ diet sodas, processed foods, fried foods, refined carbs (white bread, pastas, donuts, etc.)

the green smoothies, as long as you only have one healthy meal per day. Each smoothie should contain about 12 to 16 ounces of liquid. Simply prepare your entire day’s worth of green smoothies in the morning and pack it up to take with you. Keep it refrigerated as much as possible.

The 10 Days of Recipes for the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse

 

Here are the recipes for the ten days of the Green Smoothie Cleanse. You will have all of the ingredients on hand if you made use of the grocery-shopping list in chapter 3.

 

Use one recipe per day, as it will make enough for a full day’s worth of smoothies. Be careful deviating from the recipes too much until after the detox/ cleanse. These recipes were designed for detox, weight loss, better energy, and mental clarity. Try to stick to them as much as you can during the detox! You’ll get better results. After the detox, get creative; add variety, and keep losing weight and getting healthy!

 

The unblended ingredients are about 72 ounces. Once blended, they will blend down to about 36 to 48 ounces, depending upon blender size and amount of water. Divide the total amount into thirds and drink each serving three to four hours apart or sip on the smoothie throughout the day whenever you feel hungry.

 

If you don’t feel like drinking the entire day’s worth of smoothie, then drink at least two of them to ensure your body gets the proper nutrition. It’s important to drink a green smoothie or snack every three to four hours to keep your metabolism revved up. You will desire less food, but you still need to give your body fuel (smoothie or snack) every three to four hours.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a full-size blender, like a Vitamix or Blendtec or something similar, the entire recipe can go into the blender at one time, as it easily holds 72 ounces of ingredients. However, if you have a smaller blender, like a Nutribullet or something similar, they hold only about 32 ounces, so you may need to divide the recipe in half and blend twice to avoid spillovers.

 

*Using freezer bags, prepare days 1 through 5 and place each bag in the freezer. Remember to add the stevia, ground flaxseed and optional protein on that day you blend the smoothie.  DO NOT ADD THESE ITEMS PRIOR TO AND FREEZE.  MUST BE ADDED FRESH.

 Detox Methods to Enhance Your Cleansing  

 

An inexpensive liver-cleansing option is to drink one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in eight ounces of water every morning and night. Do this for two to three weeks or continue until your sluggish liver symptoms have improved. My favorite brand is Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar. Completing a liver cleanse can be a positive and rejuvenating experience that yields numerous health benefits. As you improve liver health, you increase your body’s ability to detoxify itself, improve its fat-burning capabilities, and achieve optimum health.

 

This method is GROSSSS.  Get the Mag07 from Vitamin Shoppe if you can.  Use the saltwater flush (SWF), which involves drinking uniodized sea salt with water. To tolerate the taste, you can drink two teaspoons of sea salt in eight ounces of water to make it go down and then follow immediately with three more 8-ounce glasses of water. Do this first thing in the morning while you have an empty stomach, and you will have several bowel movements within thirty minutes to an hour.

 

One product that really works wonders at getting at the old fecal matter in your colon is Mag07, which I highly recommend. Take three to four pills at bedtime and you can look forward to a heavy bowel movement in the morning. Many of my clients use Mag07 for regular colon cleansing.


Snacks:

1. Sliced Apples with Unsweetened Peanut Butter

2. Tomatoes, cucumber, purple onion, bell peppers, cilantro, vinegar (my favorite for the last snack of the day 9pm or 9:30pm since I was always getting cravings)

3. Cucumbers, Boiled Eggs, Cayenne Pepper, Mrs. Dash & Apple Cider Vinegar

4. Chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, small Apple, mixed with Himalayan salt, black pepper, parsley, green onions, Mrs. Dash and Apple cider vinegar topped with 1 boiled egg
