If you have never tried a green smoothie cleanse before, you are headed to a completely new level of wellness and energy. It can be intimidating to pick up a glass that contains a thick green liquid and drink it down, but the truth is that green smoothies don't taste all that different from pink, orange, red and yellow ones. The main difference is one of nutrition and fiber rather than one of taste.

The green color in these smoothies comes from chlorophyll. You probably learned in middle school that this is the color that helps plants conduct photosynthesis; it is also this color that connects on a molecular level with the toxins in your system and pulls them out, one at a time.

At first, the removal of these toxins will produce a reaction of nausea, fatigue and pain, but as these chemicals leave your body, you will feel better. Think of a series of pipes that are clogged with gunk and goo – those are your intestines operating on the Western diet. With a green smoothie cleanse, you're cleaning your system out, and the energy you feel will become addicting.

The first seven-day cleanse that you go through will show you how radically an alteration in your diet will improve your life on a number of levels. It is the next series of cleanses that you go through that will convince you that healthy eating is the best way to live.
