We are all hearing about the benefits of juicing and detoxing. Celebrities like Blake Lively, Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore swear by the results. However, many of the store-bought juice cleanses can get very pricey (from $65 to $90 per day). After attending a great event for Vitamix Blenders, I decided to try my own hand at juicing/cleansing.

Kimberly Snyder, celebrity nutritionist and author of the Beauty Detox Solution, believes cleansing is a critical way to reach your highest potential of health and beauty. Kimberly Snyder swears by her "Glowing Green Smoothie."

Major changes started happening when I started drinking my fiber-filled Glowing Green Smoothie; my energy, skin, weight and hair improved. The Glowing Green Smoothie retains all of the fiber of the greens and fruit, rather than removing it. Fiber is critical for cleansing by sweeping out toxins, helping to keep your digestive tract and body clean, and also keeping you more full so that you tend to eat less throughout the day.

Drinking her Glowing Green Smoothie in place of breakfast is also a great way to incorporate tremendous amounts of greens into your diet — perfect for getting a great glow to the skin (can I say great wedding pics??). A serving of the GGS contains over 3 cups of dark leafy green vegetables, which is more than many people get in a week!
