Full Body Cleanse: Green Smoothie Recipes

Looking for more healthy recipes for the full body cleanse program? What follows are five green smoothie recipes - smoothies that are made with green vegetables and ripe fruit - that provide loads of flavor and nutrients to keep you going throughout the day. All of these smoothies are substantial enough to be full meals, so feel free to have "green smoothie days" during the full body cleanse program - days when you drink as many green smoothies as your appetite calls for, and nothing else.

Please note: all of the following recipes are made by blending the listed ingredients in a strong blender. Place the juiciest fruits at the bottom of the blender to create more liquid to liquefy the lettuce and spinach (or any other greens that you may use). If necessary, add a little water to ensure a good blend.

All of the listed ingredients produce approximately 2-3 servings. Enjoy these green smoothies!
