Green Cleanse
Apr 7th, 2009 by Meghan Telpner
Welcome to The 3-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse
For those of you who are new to my blog, allow me to introduce myself. The long story is here, and professional information here, but in short, I am a fully certified holistic nutritionist and natural nutrition coach. So basically, I have the education and experience to back up what I’m saying and to professionally coach you through this.
On this page, you will find links to all posts relating to this cleanse as well as the opportunity to sign up as full participant and download the 44 page e-tutorial.
The Basics There is no single cleanse or cleansing product that is just right for everyone. I do believe, however, that this here 3-day green smoothie cleanse is very balanced, very gentle and the absolute best way to ease yourself into a cleansing practice whether you are new to cleanses or fasts, have been doing them for years, or are overcoming or working on a health challenge. Only benefit can come from a cleanseing regime that prodivdes amazingly high nutrient density and sufficient caloric intake in a highly absorbable and easily digestible manner requiring minimal digestive energy.
What Is a Green Smoothie Cleanse? For three days, all of your food intake will be in the form of a green smoothie. Simple simple. You will have a green smoothie for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner. If you get hungry, you might have one for a mid-morning or afternoon snack. If you are in a situation where you can’t make a smoothie, than a pureed veggie soup would be acceptable but we are aiming for raw smoothies. In between smoothies you can supplement with herbal cleansing teas, water, water with lemon, and coconut water if you like. Think of all the free time you’ll have!
Why Smoothies and not Juice? The difference between a smoothie and juice is that juice has the fibre removed, where as a smoothie has the fibre left in. This means that in this cleanse you won’t necessarily experience the same hunger as you would with a juice cleanse and may also not experience the same lightheadedness, headaches or nausea that can come from more extreme juice or water fasts and cleanses.
Also- quality juicers are expensive and most people have blenders or access to a blender so it makes this cleanse more accessibly and viable to more people. All about inclusion!
Why Three Days
As this is our first cleanse together, I wanted to offer something that was realistic and manageable. Typically with cleanses, day 3 is the hardest. Depending on your lifestyle and constituion, you may find that after three days you want to keep going. Power to you! Three days, however is a realistic amount of time to request committment and is a great introduction to the practice of cleansing. And likely just enough time that may feel the energized floaty feeling that comes from being crisp and clean.
Who Should Not Do This Cleanse?
Diabetics, momma’s-to-be, severe hypoglycemics or anyone more than ten pounds underweight.

I received my tutorial last night. Wow! What an excellent resource. The time and thought you put into this is certainly worth the money, and as hubby is peeking at the tutorial, I have the feeling we’re going to have another participant. Didn’t feel right letting him tag along for the ride without you getting something for your effort. Laurie

Im so excited!!!! JZ

I’ve heard that cleanses are good but had never found such detailed information on why. I’m hoping that by doing this it will get some of the allergy gunk out of my body and prep it for a more natural approach to being better. Julia

Hi Meghan,
I am very excited to start the Green Smoothie Cleanse tomorrow! I accidentally bought organic hemp protein (I think it’s a powder) instead of hemp seeds, and flax seeds instead of flax oil. What do you think about using these two things in the smoothies?
I think their great! I like hempseeds as the are obviously less processed than a powder. Depending on the power of your blender, the flaxseeds may or may not work in there. Plenty of other ways to use them though so not to worry. You may still like to add in some flax oil should you find yourself at a store again.

Hi Meghan,
I’m going to start the cleanse this Wednesday…but I can’t find an enema kit! I live in the Annex area in Toronto…can you suggest any places?
Thanks!
