The book includes other recipes as well and several testimonials from people that have tried the '10-day Smoothie Cleanse'.
I definitely will be trying this in the near futu I have to tell you I haven't done the 10-day green smoothie cleanse so I can't really attest to the outcome. That being said, this book includes the how-tos, ingredients and preparation, the authors personal tips for success, as well as what to do after the cleanse to continue a weight loss plan and maintain healthier living.

Cholesterol has dropped forty points..... blood pressure.......

I am planning on starting this cleanse on Monday. I will hold off my rating til then.-----

For the cleanse, each day, you have to prepare a smoothie about 48 oz. and replace your meals with that. The smoothie is divided in three for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between meals, you can have eggs, crunchy fruits and vegetables, nuts or seeds. There is a recommended detox tea (Yogi brand) that you can have any time you desire. The cleanse isn't that bad, but I assure you, you need to be committed. I am not a stranger to green smoothies, so the recipes were a delight.
What I liked about the book was there was a shopping list for days 1-5, and then days 6-10. It was extremely convenient. HOWEVER, the shopping list is somehow not accurate? On day 7, I still have a couple bags of spring greens and kale for the first 5 days. So it's lasting me til the end of the cleanse if I somehow substitute spring greens for spinach.
Day 1: Berry Green smoothie ★★★★
3rd BEST--->Day 2: Apple Strawberry ★★★★★ - my favorite smoothie so far. I am for sure making this after!
Day 3: Apple Berry ★★ - my 2nd least favorite. Made of banana, apple and blueberries, this smoothie was lacking flavor. It's probably my blueberries, but I'm not sure if I am repeating this one.
Day 4: Berry Peachy ★★★★
Day 5: Peach Berry Spinach ★★★★
2nd BEST--->Day 6: Pineapple Spinach ★★★★★ - so tropical! so nomnomnomnom.
Day 7: Pineapple Berry ★★★★
Day 8: Spinach Kale Berry ★★ - the most awful tasting smoothie in the bunch. Idk if it's from putting too much kale or my blueberries not being that sweet, but I sure know this tasted like leaves.
BEST--->Day 9: Apple Mango ★★★★★ THIS WAS SOOO GOOD. THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING ON REPEAT AND REPEAT AND REPEAT AND REPEAT.
Day 10: Pineapple Kale ★★★ A bit on the bitter and sour side, but tolerable.

I have survived!! And I have lost 5.8 pounds. In terms of what the book is claiming, it's pretty far off I am feeling that I am getting my monthly visitor, so that may also cause the less than spectacular weight loss). However, my energy levels are way up. I have been doing PIYO (pilates-yoga) and I feel strong. I should have measured my waist however, I couldn't find one. I do feel like I have lost a few and my pants definitely feel better and my tummy definitely flatter.

The number one rule when it comes to this is to keep yourself busy. When you're bored you think about food. Heck, that's one
The book pretty much delivers on what it promises. I don't think I feel more energetic though. But I did lose 10 lbs in 8 days so I can't really argue with the results, though most of that 10 lbs is likely fluid. Some days were definitely harder than others in terms of cravings but now that I'm about to go back to regular food I actually don't even know what I want to eat!The number one rule when it comes to this is to keep yourself busy. When you're bored you think about food. Heck, that's one of the reasons we eat food. I plan to incorporate this smoothie diet in the future as meal replacements here and there. It's very easy and it's nice to know I can get all of my nutrients without having a cook a thing!

However, I still rated this book three stars and would recommend it to others because it has a lot of great smoothie recipes and ideas that don't involve difficult-to-find ingredients.
There was a lot of questionable nutritional advice. I don't think people need cleanses. Our bodies will cleanse themselves as soon as we stop putting poisons into them. The advice wasn't all bad, but I wouldn't refer people to this book for dietary information.However, I still rated this book three stars and would recommend it to others because it has a lot of great smoothie recipes and ideas that don't involve difficult-to-find ingredients.

If you stick with it - it works!!! There are so many recipes so you won't get bored. I loved the fact there's a modified version of the cleanse.
Go ahead... make that change!

I began researching homeopathic remedies for my health problems. Not being able to afford $300/person/weekend of fresh fruits and vegetables, I tried It Works! Greens on The Go. Within my first 2 ½ weeks I lost 18 pounds along with my migraine headaches. I also was no longer dependent on my emergency inhaler. I then started using the body wraps along with the greens and lost enough inches in my waist to go down a pant size. At this time I was still eating rather unhealthy but made the decision to adopt a clean eating plan in addition to the Greens and wraps.
JJ Smith's book "10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse" was my go to guide for ridding myself of the bad foods and other toxins in my life. In this book she includes not only recipes and shopping lists but also several detox methods like apple cider vinegar, saunas, ionic foot baths and body brushing. I have to admit that there were days where I was tempted and did take a bite out of the poisonous fruit. Each time I would just start over wherever I left off. At the end of my 10 day journey I had lost another 6 pounds.
Today I continue on my journey towards good health using the principles outlined in this book and its companion Lose Weight Without Dieting or Working Out. I carry my Greens on the Go with me wherever I travel, wrap twice a week and maintain a primarily alkaline lifestyle. I have also started an exercise regimen that includes walking and yoga and look forward to incorporating Crossfit soon. I am really enjoying the skin I am in now. So far I am down from a size 2X to a size 14 and have lost nearly 40 pounds.

I should also add that towards the end of the challenge for some reason my hands and face turned orange which was noticed by my mom. I didn't see it til she pointed it out but it was like WOW I was really orange. I wonder why this happened. After I stopped the challenge it started to go away. Wish it would've happened on my whole body, it would have been a natural tan.

But I love tacos and cake.
Also relatable:
That being said, I am super excited to try this. I normally avoid detoxes and cleanses but I need a mental reset and a pat on the butt. I did a quick read through and I found the grocery list to be a helpful addition. The list being divided into two grocery trips to ensure freshness is a bonus.
Final review will come after I get through the 10 days....

This book made me realize so many things I didn't before. I have not been a fan of vegetables, but to see that there is an easy way to get them in, has helped. I am going to start the cleanse in seven days and hope that I get the full benefit.....not just weight loss.

What is great about this cleanse is that you do not have to starve yourself. You can do the full cleanse by drinking 3 smoothies a day and snacking on carrots, apples, hard-boiled eggs, raw or unsalted nuts, and seeds. Or, you can choose to do the modified cleanse which consists of two smoothies a day with a meal high in protein, like a salad with a grilled skinless chicken breast, while still snacking throughout the day. Smith offers you a shopping list for ingredients, and recipes for each of the 10 days. If you choose to continue drinking smoothies after your cleanse there are almost 50 pages of additional recipes catered to different needs like stress, fat-burners, and kid-friendly options. This cleanse also provides options for people with diabetes looking to make a change.
Smith claims that this cleanse will be a health-transformative experience. She explains the science behind the cleanse, giving reasons for drinking smoothies over juicing, as well as practical reasons like having an easier clean-up. More importantly, this cleanse is about training your body to have better eating habits. Smith provides information to last beyond your initial cleanse. She encourages you to be more active – now this doesn't mean you have to start going to the gym, she is no athlete, but it does mean actively choosing the stairs over the elevator or taking a walk at lunch.
Remember: this is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change. This smoothie cleanse is not merely about losing weight fast, but about eating healthier and living healthier. If you diet only to lose weight you'll be on a diet for life – who wants that? This is not going to be an easy task, but if you try to stick with it you will see the results.
10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse provides you with some great online resources, FAQs, testimonials, additional detoxification information, and high-protein recipes, like mushroom steak and seared scallops, to help you manage your way through the cleanse and beyond. The frequently asked questions are truly helpful – containing information for the coffee-drinkers, daily-exercisers, and more.
Smith uses repetition to drive her point home. The book is a breeze to read through, and the bulk of the information you need to start your cleanse occurs in the first half of the book. Smith's disposition is very positive and encouraging, which makes this 10-day detox cleanse easier to begin. If you are tired of suffering from insomnia, breakouts of acne, food-cravings, depression, or maybe you just want to lose a few extra pounds, try the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse. It's a good habit to start your day with a smoothie. Are you ready to make your lifestyle change?
The impact of reading this is exciting. I can't wait to try the 10 day detox and see if what the written word says is true.
I'm doing what the book suggests. I'm planning ahead so that my mind is ready for the robust change that is heading its way. I'm not doing this alon
I've now finished the 'reading' element and already this warrants the book being 5 stars for me. It was easy to read, it seems easy to follow, everything from a shopping list to the recipes are provided in 'jargon' free wording.The impact of reading this is exciting. I can't wait to try the 10 day detox and see if what the written word says is true.
I'm doing what the book suggests. I'm planning ahead so that my mind is ready for the robust change that is heading its way. I'm not doing this alone, I'm planning on doing it with my daughter, this will give us both motivation. I'm not doing it for the weight loss, my aim is for health, for energy, to see if it will stabilise my sleeping pattern and, after all of these years, it's to give my body a cleaning that it has never had before!
What I'm worried about: The smoothies themselves!! I hate healthy food, I don't like greens, eat little or no fruit and so already this is a challenge, hence the reason I am planning ahead, my taste buds are in for a shock!!!!
Okay, my detox planned date is Monday 11th August (almost 2 weeks from now). This gives me time to get my shopping list together, (get my birthday out of the way ha ha) and to be fully ready. I will review and add stars after the 10 days....
Wish me luck....

If I had enough willpower to eat next to nothing for 3 days, it wouldn't just be smoothies.
The reason you lose weight drinking these smoothies is because that's ALL you eat/drink: 3 smoothies/day. And it ain't much!! The average is 1 handful of veggies and 1 fruit/ handful of grapes *per* meal.If I had enough willpower to eat next to nothing for 3 days, it wouldn't just be smoothies.

Gonna give it a go!
Very informative I think it gives some great advice about which foods are good for your body. Great information, wish it was longer!
This was an amazing journey. This book is awesome. It showed me how healthy eating and better choices is a lot easier than I thought. The recipes are fantastic and something that I can use for the rest of my life.
Okay, so the first thing I don't love about this book is that it is 75% fluffy filler (SO MANY PAGES OF TESTIMONIALS WHY), 20% smoothie recipes, and 5% about why you need to cleanse your colon (sorry no that sounds awful and gross).
The second thing I don't love is the secret Jesus laced throughout the book, which came up with vague references about cleansing your body for "spiritual" effects and showed up full
I heard about this from a friend and thought, "What the hell, I'll try it for science."Okay, so the first thing I don't love about this book is that it is 75% fluffy filler (SO MANY PAGES OF TESTIMONIALS WHY), 20% smoothie recipes, and 5% about why you need to cleanse your colon (sorry no that sounds awful and gross).
The second thing I don't love is the secret Jesus laced throughout the book, which came up with vague references about cleansing your body for "spiritual" effects and showed up full-force in the testimonials section. Like, if you're going to write a religious diet book, please just write a religious diet book and label it as such so I don't waste my time.
However, even after that, I am up for trying almost anything once. So I'm trying it, for three days. But here's the thing. Each recipe is supposedly for 72 oz. of ingredients that you then break up into three for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Those 72 oz. equal about 400 calories, total. That is insanely low. You can snack on selected items between smoothies (crunchy veggies, apples, nuts), but even so, that is not really enough calories for your body to run efficiently.
Everything about this book dings my bullshit radar, AND YET I'M TRYING IT. For science, obviously. You've got people on one side talking about how cleanses are SO AMAZING and on the other side how they are unnecessary and even bad for you. So, I'm turning my body into a guinea pig this week. Will I lose weight? Will I feel energized despite eating only 150 calories per meal? Only time will tell!

The book includes a shopping list for the 10 day cleanse and lots of additional recipes for smoothies that provide various health benefits.

I loved this book! I never thought I could be one of those people who drank green smoothies and enjoyed it. The recipes in this book contained enough fruit that I wasn't completely disgusted by the taste.The book includes a shopping list for the 10 day cleanse and lots of additional recipes for smoothies that provide various health benefits.
I am adding this cleanse to my list of favorite healthy eating books. Nearly a month after finishing my cleanse, I have kept off the pounds and inches I lost during the cleanse.
One of the biggest benefits I got from this cleanse was the ability to detox from sugar and caffeine. I felt horrible for about two days, but once I pushed through it, I began to feel amazing.
This book is a great option for those who like to kick start weight loss in the new year and for those who are curious about green smoothies but never worked up the nerve to try them.

The amount of ingredients for your daily smoothies is NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH, I was horrified, and had to re read the recipes to make sure that I was reading them correctly.
You would need one of the recipes 3 times a day, not one split into all you drink for a whole day.
It may not be the easiest thing I've ever tried but the recipes look so yummy I can hardly wait to try it. I drink smoothies and shakes most days doing the summer so this will be the perfect way to get myself going in the right direction with my health. Stay tuned!!!
