So it’s the third week of January…how are you doing with those New Year’s resolutions? If you’re struggling and feel as if you need to detoxify to recharge your body, try juicing or a green smoothie cleanse.

Juicing extracts all the fresh juices, vitamins, minerals and fiber from raw fruits and vegetables. It offers the benefits of eating those wonderful sources of enzymes and antioxidants without having to chow down on plates and plates of food!

A green smoothies is a great way to cleanse. Just pop a handful of green, leafy vegetables such as spinach into the blender along with water or fresh coconut water and raw fruit. A fresh berry and spinach smoothie tastes great and fills you up with the great nutrition of leafy greens.

While a regular blender can handle a simple green smoothie, you’ll want to invest in a powerful blender or juicer for regular at home raw drinks. We recommend the Omega or Green Star juicers; both offer convenience, power, and a reasonable price.

For those seeking a blender that can create blended drinks and yummy raw treats like raw “ice cream” made from frozen bananas and fruit, try theVitamix.  The plastic containers are BPA free, they’ve got lots of horsepower in the motor, and the stainless steel blades last a long, long time.

Don’t have a lot of cash to spare? Look for juicers and high quality blenders listed for free on places such as Freecycle.org, a free list serve for people seeking to trade or give away items and recycle them. While you may not find what you are looking for right away, you may come across one that someone is willing to give away. You can also find them at thrift shops such as Goodwill. 

So if you feel the need to cleanse and want a simple way to cleanse at home, try juicing or green smoothies.
