Green Drink Fast and Detox — Do This All-Natural 2-Step Cleanse to Feel Great and Get Lean By Summer!
Time to refresh, revitalize and rediscover the energized, lean you? For many, this means a serious fast, detox or cleanse. Especially if you’re not eating right or can’t avoid processed foods, pesticides and environmental pollutant!! (And who can’t?)
All of these lead to toxin build up, inflammation, bloating, fat storage, weight gain, heartburn, food allergies, poor digestion, irritable bowels, headaches, sluggishness, malnutrition and eventually disease. Sound familiar?
Do This All-Natural 2-Step Green Drink Cleanse and Feel Great By Summer!
A fast is a great place to start but to rid your body of toxins and speed your metabolism, you need an ongoing all-natural cleanse with foods and fluids that detox organically, like powdered greens, water and whey protein.
Water gets rid of waste products in the body and transports nutrients to all tissues.
Whey protein increases glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps the liver detoxify the body better.
Green drink powder has probiotics that keep your digestive tract balanced and get rid of harmful bacteria. It also has digestive enzymes that help break down food and absorb nutrients (without them, food can get stuck, rot and create bacteria and more toxins!).
Here’s a fabulous. do-able fast and detox that will give you what you need to feel healthy, thin and refreshed!
STEP 1: 3-Day Green Health Drink Fast
IMPORTANT
Depending on how toxic your body is, you might feel tired and have an upset stomach as your body gets rid of toxins. By the end, you’ll feel energized and lighter. Just take it easy and enjoy the process!
STEP 2: Green Drink Detox — Maintenance Cleanse for Lasting Results
A clean digestion and lean body are all about what you’ eat at every single meal. Here’s a do-able maintenance plan that can keep you refreshed, energized and lean on an ongoing basis.
A) Drink enough pure water. You need half your body weight in ounces per day. For example, if weigh 150 pounds, you need 75 ounces a day.
B) Eat the optimum ratio of unprocessed foods at every meal. What’s the optimum? A fist-size of lean protein, a fist-size of unprocessed carbs, and a thumb-size of healthy fats. This makes your metabolism and digestion work right so food gets converted to energy instead of being stored as fat or rotting in your intestines.
C) Have a Green Drink Powder Cleanse Shake for breakfast every day and plan ahead by having the ingredients on hand. These shakes are easy to make, taste great and contain the optimum nutritional ratio. Plus, you can have them as a snack or as a meal substitute.
Basic Detox Shake
Add the following ingredients to a blender and mix to desired smoothness:
Unprocessed Carbs 1 tablespoon green drink powder; 1/2 – 1 chopped green apple (or other fresh fruit)
Healthy Liquid 16 oz pure water, skim milk or almond milk
Lean Protein 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder
Healthy Fats 1/4 cup raw almonds or 1 teaspoon omega oil
Chill Factor Ice
Optional Essences and spices (vanilla, mint, cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger).

The Difference Between Decaffeinated and Regular Green Tea
Is Decaffeinated Green Tea Less Beneficial Than Regular Green Tea?
Decaffeinated green tea has the main purpose of giving people the antioxidants and other health benefits of green tea without caffeine. Many think it is not regular green tea since it is decaffeinated, they thing they won’t get the same amount of benefits and components found in the regular green tea however, this isn’t true. The same amount of EGCG has been found in decaffeinated green tea compared to regular green tea and you can even check the product listing before purchasing if you want.
For such products as decaffeinated green tea there are two types of decaffeinating methods used. One of these uses ethyl acetate solvent that retains thirty percent of the polyphenols that are healthy and beneficial. The more natural process uses water and carbon dioxide. Another way that is used quite often is for the drinker to decaffeinate the tea since many don’t want caffeine in their tea.
Anywhere from fifteen to thirty mg of caffeine is in a cup of regular green tea. This is actually necessary to provide the bitterness of green tea, although it is not appreciated by some. One cup of green tea contains enough caffeine to produce stimulant effects to the central nervous system.
By completing a very simple process it is possible to naturally remove the caffeine yourself. For about 45 seconds in hot water you should steep the tea, then pour off the liquid. Then add more hot water and for a second time pour off the liquid.
Then as you would normally do for a cup of tea you should add more hot water and steep. The first infusion of water will removed about eighty percent of the caffeine, so the second time through there are only small amounts of caffeine left. There are many positive benefits to decaffeinating your tea, the major one is that you don’t feel the affects that caffeine normal produces such as nervousness or fidgetting.
