46 Spring 2017 LOCALadk Magazine LOCALadk Green Goddess would like to add some fun to the term cleanse. The term can conjure a Gandhi-like image of someone drinking only water and wasting away to nothing. But this is far from the true nature of what Green Goddess promotes. Cleansing the body can be compared to cleaning the home. Either can be performed on a superficial, quick, spruce-up level, or a deeper, perhaps more committed level. Each is good! Cleansing, whether by abstaining from sugar, alcohol, or caffeine, or by committing on a deeper level to an intentional food elimi- nation plan, promotes the release of toxins starting on a surface level. As the cleanse continues, the elimination goes deeper and deeper as the body releases more and more accumulated clutter. A modest cleanse can be promoted by having a simple, early dinner of only broth soup, or a warm glass of lemon water upon waking. Holistic nutritionist Wynde Kate Reese created The Color Cleanse: a cleansing system designed to help any person of any age reju- venate the body by releasing substances which do not serve the individual's highest and greatest good. The cleanse replaces those substances with nutrient-packed, organic, fresh, raw juices, alkalizing smoothies, and hearty soups. It's called the Color Cleanse because it provides a full spectrum - a rainbow - of whole food colors to be enjoyed. The Color Cleanse can be tailored to specific needs. It includes a guide of when and how to consume the liquids, with the option of adding an organic, easily prepared salad for those who would like to add a bit more substance. Every ingredient is purposefully selected to ensure that the body and all of the organs receive some much-needed attention. This cleanse provides the body with a necessary break from its daily demands and toxic accumulation. The Color Cleanse has quickly gained popularity. We'd like to share some of the recipes with you.
