Prepped green smoothies for the day.

NOTE: This Green Smoothie Cleanse is not Doctor approved. This is from my personal life – just sharing in case it’s helpful for someone.

Every once in a while, I like to do a 3 day Green Smoothie Cleanse. This helps me to clean out my system and reduce the cravings for meat, sugar and bread.

Typically my green smoothies include the following:

  • 6-8 oz greens 
  • 3 pieces of fruit/veggie
  • 1 cup fruit juice
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 cup ice

You can totally mix up the greens and fruits/veggies as you want. But I know that sometimes it’s a little hard to come up with your own combinations so I thought I’d provide the following list of actual green smoothies I did for a Green Smoothie Cleanse:

  1. Spinach – peach – blueberries – beet – apple juice
  2. Spinach – cherries – carrots – orange – apple juice
  3. Kale – beet – peach – strawberries – chia seed – lime – apple juice
  4. Kale – flax meal – orange – grapes – cherries – pomegranate juice
  5. Kale – banana – mango – cucumber – lime – apple juice
  6. Kale – banana – grapes – orange – chia seed – flax meal – apple juice
  7. Kale – banana – orange – cucumber – pomegranate juice
  8. Spinach – beet – strawberries – banana – orange juice
  9. Kale – cherries – blueberries – mango – chia – flax meal – apple juice
  10. Spinach – orange – mango – banana – beet – chia – flax meal – apple juice
  11. Collard greens – orange – chia – banana – beet – orange juice
  12. Collard greens – beet – carrot – banana – chia seed – orange juice

Also, I allow myself to drink as many green smoothies as I want. If I’m hungry, I make one up. I take extra with me if I’m out all day. The only other thing I eat is whole fruit. Otherwise, it’s all about the green smoothie! 3 days of this and you’ll be soooo ready for a hot meal that you can chew, but you’ll feel a ton better and not hunger for all the processed crap that is in our food these days.

Hope this helps! I’ll see you at the table!
