Grab your free green smoothie booklet now >> Today is Day 7 of the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse! It's been going pretty well so far. The first couple of days were quite enjoyable (I'm assuming because of the novelty of it). Day 3, on the other hand, was tough. That…
Grab your free green smoothie booklet now >> Some time ago---as in, mid-September---I received a copy of JJ Smith's 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse*. I read it almost immediately upon receiving it and was determined to try out the 10-day cleanse. And then... days passed by without doing it. I loved…
