One of my new favourite people, Meghan Telpner, is leading her second Green Smoothie Cleanse starting this coming Sunday, June 7. There’s excellent information on the cleanse here where she answer the questions, “What Is a Green Smoothie Cleanse? Why Smoothies and not Juice? Why Three Days? Who Should Not Do This Cleanse?”

This time she’s offering prizes! But really, do you really need a prize as an incentive?

(Personally, I really want to try her granola and see how it compares to mine, even though for the last couple of months my weekday breakfasts have been exclusively smoothies.)

I’m in this time and I encourage you to as well, and not just because I get five extra chances to win if I get someone to register. If you do register, send Meghan an email with subject line “Cleansing Thanks To (your name here)”.

Go read her post and then register!

I’m drinking a fruit smoothie right now: Apple, pear, peach, banana, cocoa nibs, flax seeds, an EFA oil blend, the greens powder that I like so much, coconut water and water. Sadly, I recently had to throw out an entire pineapple that was showing mold. I look forward to living 2 blocks from a year-round weekly farmer’s market and up the street from Fiesta Farms. This Saturday I’ll have to check out the market at the Don Valley Brickworks to stock up for this cleanse!

It’ll be interesting to see how I handle 9 consecutive smoothie meals. I know I can do it once daily and that my breakfast lasts through lunch time. I know that I can eat raw three meals a day. Snacks might be a challenge. Maybe I need to look at it as a liquid version of my raw diet, thinking of salads but blended with water. I recall Meghan’s mother and others saying that they missed chewing.

Who can resist joining a cleanse that’s lead by someone this adorable (YouTube videos embedded, sorry if you work for the OPS and are reading this at work) and has a bike that’s decorated with flowers (the context for that photo is here)?

Reminds me, I bought a coconut at Fiesta Farms on Friday and need to open it. Maybe I should take it to Meghan. (Check out this video to see what I’m talking about.)
