Green Smoothies for Life
A brand-new meal plan that will assist readers with incorporating green smoothies into their everyday routine while developing healthier long-term eating habits and improving their overall health.
More than a weight loss plan, the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, designed by nutritionist and certified weight-loss expert JJ Smith, became a way of life. Readers reported that they not only shed pounds but they also slept better, thought more clearly, and were in better over-all health, with some adherents, in consultation with their doctor, even moving off medication. As delicious as her green smoothies are, however, the cleanse was designed only to jumpstart a detox and a new approach to eating—it’s not a permanent solution.
In her new book, Green Smoothies for Life, the highly anticipated follow up to the #1 New York Times bestseller 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, Smith presents a way that green smoothies can be incorporated into your daily regimen. With over thirty recipes for everything from hot dinners to desserts and snacks, sixty thoughtfully composed green smoothie recipes, a thirty-day meal plan and the corresponding shopping lists, the book provides you with a step-by-step prescriptive daily regimen that shows you how to eat mindfully and healthily. In addition to green smoothies and color photographs of select recipes, the book includes more than twenty effective methods to detox (which helps fuel weight loss), information on Smith’s DHEMM (Detox, Hormonal Balance, Eat, Move and Mental Mastery) weight loss system, and testimonials from dieters who’ve change their approach to not just food but also life since while following her advice.
Whether you are just starting out on your weight loss journey or already a smoothie convert, Green Smoothies for Life is the essential next step in continuing your pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

Love the recipes!

The author had no scientific sources to back up any of her claims. She only calls herself a nutritionist. I did not try any of the recipes because I decided to do the 10 day cleanse instead but still the recipes in this book look good and simple. I like how this isn't a diet book. The focus isn't on losing weight. It's about changing your eating habits and implementing green smoothies in your diet

I just didn't find the smoothie recipes all that appealing. I can come up with smoothies more to my taste without a recipe.

In the past, I have purchased her 10 day green smoothies and tried a few times since I purchased 10+ years ago. Now that I am trying healthy alternative (YouTube, and Facebook group), water and/or dry fasting, I know that I need to detox and gather a whole food type of lifestyle. It is challenging when you are an emotional eater, or addicted to food and not used as a outlet to live.
I keep getting heat rashes or such for the past 3 yrs and harder to lose weight no matter what I do. I love the photos in this book, 30 days of smoothies, and most I tried or tweaked are so good. I do not like flaxseeds, prefer black sesame seeds, not a fan of chia seeds, I tried these things 10 or so years ago. Not a fan of most protein shakes, even plant based ones, so willing to add seaweed gels with flavor to get protein or extra in the smoothies.
I got my copy. Ninja blender does more in volume but not smoothies texture so go to small cup of 16 of smoothie maker. Also does dressings and sauce.
I love the shrimp, salads (tried apple, spinach, and pecans to replace or substitute for walnuts and used grated Parmesan than feta cheese). This is something she could have added is substitutes or alternatives. I can figure out for self or willing to search google when unsure.
Success stories I can relate to, especially Melanie with high blood pressure no matter what you do, but need to get the weight off and detox my body.
I tried the castor oil pack as suggested to use; can get gauze (hurt one) pads is the best soft cloth, and put oil on them then wrap in cling-wrap and will put in fridge to last up to 30 days. I have tried dry brushing, and been advised when I got past massages or to exfoliate, just not a biggie on it. I will keep seeing if I see results. Do not try one time and expect something to happen. Helps with blood circulation.
She kept her shape and saw a video on 5 women who keep their bodies in shape and routines, which JJ was in that number on YouTube.
Plan to get my own copy! Borrowed from local library.

Good book. The content didn't really introduce me to anything I had not heard before. That is why I didn't give it a 5-star rating. However, the recipes are excellent and really make this a book you want to have on your shelf AND in your Kindle. Definitely a keeper.

I've been drinking the smoothies for two months. Twenty pounds down, and I feel great. Just finished reading the book for more tips on how to detox and live healthier. I'm hoping to maintain smoothies for life.
