10 Day Green Smoothie Detox


Photo Credit: http://cucumberandgrapes.blogspot.com/2010/06/world-standard-requirement-for.html
For those of you who have been following http://www.busymominthekitchen.com/ for these last few months, I'm sure you've visited or at least seen the tab In the Kitchen and on a Diet.  I focused a lot of my time trying to lose my extra weight using the Atkins Diet.  I got burnt out, went off, and gained a lot of my weight back in a very short period of time.  When I went back on, still burnt out, I just wasn't losing.  So after a bit research and a bit of coaxing from a friend, I decided to take advantage of my VitaMix blender and embark on a Green Smoothie Detox.

The first question I always got from my friends and family is, WHY?  Well, I was tired of feeling depleted all the time.  Living in the interior of Alaska was really getting to me this year.  I was having difficulty sleeping at night, waking up exhausted and feeling over all grumpy. I needed a little liquid sunshine!

This all started with a 10 day Green Smoothie Detox challenge, but who knows where it will go!  I will be posting a few recipes and share my experience with you, and of course try to keep it real.  Like right now, it's 12:45 am and I'm kinda hungry.  But it's been a while since I had my last smoothie and I should be in bed. :)

So, If you think I'm crazy, or want to learn more, keep checking in to see how it's going  check out the recipes and amazing sites I have found!






We would LOVE to hear from you!

  1. I thought you were crazy...but at the same time, I've wanted to detox my poor body for some time...and well, I'm hooked. Granted, I'm not DETOXING all out right now...because of some scheduling things and choices...I am ON BOARD with the whole Green Smoothie movement, I've dropped coffee cold turkey - NO HEADACHE or withdrawals, I've had a complete change in my taste buds...I virtually have NO CRAVINGS...it's made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in my life! And I don't think you're crazy....anymore. ;)
    Be blessed...
