Is there a better time of year to begin a cleanse? If you’re anything like the majority of the world, you’ve indulged and enjoyed the wonderful foods of the holidays, and you’re ready for a cleanse reset. If you’re too busy to make all the juices yourself at home, you can substitute any of our cold-pressed juices sold in stores for the homemade recipes in this chapter. You can find the store locations closest to you on our website (www.drinkdailygreens.com).
To make things easier, we’ve provided a shopping list (on the pages that follow) and broken it up by by juice ingredients and raw food ingredients (which you will need for your dinner each night). If you plan to buy ready-to-drink Daily Greens juices for your cleanse, simply skip to the food shopping list.
Not sure where to shop? I love supporting local farmers, so I highly recommend hitting your farmers market to see if you can find the majority of the ingredients there. You will most likely also need to make a quick trip to the grocery store. Happy shopping!
