Description : We know the value of eating fresh, healthy food. We know how wonderful it is to pluck a fresh apple off a tree and to eat it without pesticides, without processing, and without added sugar.

It's good both to incorporate natural foods into your daily diet and also to occasionally do a cleanse. A cleanse allows your body to free itself of allergens and toxins and to start fresh. It's like rebooting your computer to cleanse out any memory issues which may have cropped up. Version Note: This is an early release of this smoothie / juicing ebook. It currently has 19 recipes in it. Please email me and let me know your favorite fruits and veggies. I will then create custom recipes using those flavors.
