If you’ve tried a smoothie cleanse in the past with little to no success, you aren’t alone. What most people don’t realize is unless you’re making your own, most smoothies are made up of an unbelievable amount of sugar. While you think you are doing your body good by filling up on fruits and veggies, you’re overloading it with additional ingredients full of potential illness. Sugar causes inflammation; opening you up to the risk of a long list of health concerns. My five-day cleanse is different from the smoothie cleanse you tried in the past.

What is a smoothie cleanse?

Nutrients your body receives from my smoothie cleanse recipes push out toxins, then cleanse and strengthen your cells. They work to revive your skin, reduce inflammation, turn your health around, and give you the energy boost you’ve been missing. Melting away that extra belly fat isn’t bad either.

How does a smoothie cleanse work?

With my five-day cleanse, you’ll load up on the "yes" foods that will provide your body with fiber, amino acids, and clean protein from bone broth and collagen. Filling up on an abundance of vital nutrients will help your body heal and strengthen; leaving you restored and feeling refreshed. My cleanse will support your natural cleansing systems to help restore your physical and mental health in less than a week. And the best part may be the satisfying recipes I include that fill up your stomach, so you won’t have to suffer through cravings and hunger pains. Take a peek at one of my favorite smoothie recipes that keeps me slim, energized, and feeling clean from the inside out.
