I am definitely not in favour of rewarding good behaviour with food. But what about rewarding good food and good living with good food? Or maybe with a cute t-shirt? This I am all for!
Next Sunday, June 7th is the official start to our second group supported Green Smoothie Cleanse. I do believe that gearing up, overcoming the barriers and motivating ourselves for this is huge. I believe that the amazing sense of empowerment we can achieve simply by taking responsibility and control over our health and seeing and feeling the direct results of our efforts is a massive reward and incentive to keep on track… but who doesn’t like to win a prize now and again?
My colleague in the health crusade, John Roulac, the CEO and Founder of Nutiva, a fabulous company that supports both the health of our bodies and our planet, using fair trade sources, wants to help support all of you on this inspiring and potentially life changin 3-day Green Smoothie Cleanse.
For everyone who has registered for the Green Smoothie Cleanse and is opting to participate in this 3-day cleanse beginning June 7th, will be entered to win Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein 50% which contains 50% protein, 20% fiber, and 11% fat- including Omega-3, GLA and SDA. These rare fats play a vital role in our brain, heart, skin, and hormone functions.
If you have already received the tutorial, you’ll notice that hemp is on the Superfoods list. Now, you know I am an advocate of the whole food, using hemp hearts for example instead of a powder. Sometimes though, we do need a little convenience and these powders can be really helpful, especially if, for example, we need to take smoothies to work. A high quality powder such as this one from Nutiva would enable you to blend your veggies and fruits at home and than add the protein in and give it a good shake just before you drink it at work.
I couldn’t be outdone on the giveaway front on my own cleanse so I am throwing in a few more things to win just by participating. So register already! It’s just $12 for a blender full of great info.
Register for the June 7th Green Smoothie Cleanse by downloading the tutorial and adding a comment to this post and you can also have a chance to win one of two bags of My Favourite Granola or a sweet sweet Making Love In the Kitchen T-Shirt. A choice between a women’s medium ‘Nice Piece‘ or a men’s large ‘Weakness For Tacos‘. I know these sizes may not be suitable for everyone but hey- I live in 600 sq. feet. I have no room to store a variety of sizes. If you win and it’s not the right size, here are a few options for you:
1. Cut off the sleeves, sew up the bottom and you have a sweet little produce tote bag
2. Cut out the design and sew it on to the back of your favourite sweatshirt or jacket to make it your extra special favoruite sweatshirt or jacket
3. Share the love and pass it along to someone who it will fit.

what cute ideas with the tshirts! I ordered one and it is very small, but I love the design!! i so i might make a grocery bag with it!! 
Hi Meghan,
So pleased to “meet” you! I have been visiting your website for a few weeks now, and first and foremost I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all you do! I have been so inspired by you! I came to your website through my (wonderful!) Weight Watcher’s leader, Ashley. After recently having lost nearly 40 lbs in a really healthy way, I have become very interested in sustaining this new body that I love by learning to “eat clean”. It has only been a few weeks since I started making small but pretty significant changes to my diet, and I haven’t been perfect, but, wow, I truly do feel amazingly well! I am so excited to be living this new green, clean life! Anyway, I could go on and on, but suffice to say: Sign me up! Thanks again, M.
I purchased the tutorial after rave reviews from gingerlemongirl.blogspot.com, and promptly got both my mother and boyfriend to seriously think about doing it too. I’m so excited!
I’m in Meghan. I think I already registered with you, I already have my tutorial…actually…YIKES I spent all week (this week) doing the prep because I thought it started THIS sunday…OOPS
oh well, can’t be too prepared for change huh?
anyways, i’ve stocked up on Chia meal (wasn’t sure if that was better or worse than seeds), spirulina, and hemp seeds (hearts) plus a whole load of veg’s.
been juicing and making practice smoothies all week (even have a new blender becasue my old one SMOKED (not good )
so much great information in your tutorial also…would recommend it to ANYONE!
I am actually happy I have a few more days to prepare… one thing I realized this week was that emotionally i was not ready so i am glad i have one more week to get my head in the game (so to speak)
so, COUNT ME IN
This cleanse was awesome. I did it about a month ago. I felt great and I was NEVER hungry. I just felt satisfied and energized. When you drink green smoothies you don’t want to put crap in your body.
Oh sign me up!! I think I am going to do one next week too. I just love the way it makes me feel! and my skin looks amazing for the next few weeks after it.
I’m going to try it out one more time – I couldn’t commit to it the last time cause I was travelling. Looking forward to it!
Hurray! I’m so excited for the cleanse. So far I’ve gotten both my aunt, and my brother on the green smoothie cleanse train too!
Count me in! I didn’t find your blog in time to do the first one, so can’t wait to do it this round. For 3 days, I can do anything
I’m spreading the word to others too!! I bought the tutorial a few weeks ago… chock full of great info. Thanks Meghan!
Looking forward to trying out the cleanse. It’s my first one so I’m a bit worried I won’t make it through but I’m excited and dedicated. Thanks for the help and support.
I’m in. I downloaded the tutorial last week and am going through pre cleanse period right now (today is my second day). So far so good. your smoothies are so delicious that i think i won’t have a problem doing only smoothies for 3 days. I’m also excited to repeat it starting June 7th. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very excited for round 2! thanks Meghan, you are super.
Count me in! I’ve got the tutorial and very excited to participate this round.
Hi Meghan
i practiced this morning with a Kale Smoothie. even my little one enjoyed it.
Got a great pic of him with his camoflauge smoothie to match his shirt on my new blog
come by for a visit
I am pretty excited for next week
Hi Meghan,
Thanks for posting this – I really love your blog! I’m excited to try this cleanse – i’ve never done one before and since I just ended a 2 year long relationship, it feels like a good time to “clean house”!
Oh! I’m so excited for another cleanse and would LOVE to win prizes!
I so want to do a greenie cleanie!! I shall I shall!
hey – wheatgrass, pineapple, mint and something else shakes..they’ll be my greenie cleanie few days.
I’m not sure I can hit the spirulina….but you never know.
I love your “Meg granola packaging” – amazing!
I’m days behind in my blog reading so I asked my question about the cleanse in today’s post rather than Friday’s, which this one is. Now I have my answer.
Yes, I’m in.
Am in the process of blogging it.
Just signed up – can’t wait to start!!!!
Can not wait! Since the last cleanse I am hooked on smoothin it up regularly and am ready to do another round.
Hi Meghan,
I won’t be taking part in this round, as I’m going to be doing some traveling, and if all goes well I will be indulging in all sorts of things that just wouldn’t be suitable for the cleanse. I’m sharing the info over at Elusive Onions though, and will be checking in here while I’m away to offer my moral support. Best wishes to all who participate. You’re going to love it!
Does thw pre cleanse start Sunday or the cleanse itself?
I always love a giveaway!
Meghan, what’s your opinion of organic raw maca powder added to smoothies? I was reading it could help the thyroid (which I need help with!). thanks!
I’m in – anyone else cleansing while also making sure their family gets fed? I am the chief meal-maker around here and I can see that being an issue during the cleanse…. I don’t want to give my young daughter the impression that I’m “dieting” either. She will gladly drink smoothies (even green ones) for breakfast or snacks but I imagine my drinking them for dinner will provoke her curiosity… and my husband’s.
After a night of booze and sugary treats, I am now hopping aboard the Big Green Smoothie Cleansing machine!
Off for a bike ride to try and rid myself of the toxins. Then to buy the smoothie ingredients for the next few days. Thanks for conveniently starting this today!
Allison, I can relate… I will also be making meals for my family (husband and 3 kids) so it does make it a little tougher. I’ve planned some easy dinners for those 3 nights. My family knows all about what I’m doing.
i’m loving the cleanse so far. the recipes (and all of the great info) included in the e-tutorial are great! thanks meghan!
Green Goo Disaster!
Hi everyone! So far so good on the cleanse. Yesterday was tough as we were out running heaps of errands and I got waaaay behind on the eating/drinking. Crash…
But – feeling really good this morning. I work 9-6 and tonight I start my “Wenches with Wrenches” course at the Community Bike Network. I won’t be home until about 9pm, so I decided to pack 3 smoothies with me to work. I ride my bike to work, so into my pannier went the fancy new 1L screw-top containers I found on the weekend. Yes…can you see what’s coming? I got to work and one of the containers had come open, coating everything in green goo! Sadder still, I am down half a smoothie.
Ah well… a little more water, a little more herbal tea. I am planning the Strawberry Collards for dinner when I get home (I know, late, but…). I might make it a double!
Hope everyone is feeling super-fine! Have a wonderful day!
Melinda: If you’re in Toronto, Booster Juice to the rescue?
(Otherwise some other place that sells juices and smoothies.)
canadianfoodiegirl – Thanks for the ideas! Sadly though, am stranded at the office up in North York. No _nothin’_ up here! And no time between work & flying downtown on my bike to get to my course. But I’ll be right, as they say!
This second cleanse is turning out to be totally a She Thing! Which of course is totally delightful but come on boys… you can do it!
Nicole- The pre-cleanse (meaning transition to veggie diet) should begin on Thursday. This of course is fully optional. The Smoothies start on Sunday.
Just for you Macy! I planned it just for you… and I can only imagine where the boozing may have gone down last night
