21-Day Cleanse (autumn)

Autumn Cleanse Printed Book (2023)

Nice

I’m sure this cleanse is good, but I never started it. I became too overwhelmed with all the prep. However, you can’t go wrong with adding more plants in your diet. I’ve completed other plans by Simple Green Smoothies and always feel great in the end. Hopefully, I’ll compete this one at some point. It still is a worthy plan to try out.

I love focusing on eating nutritious food! I believe that good health is feeling good physically and mentally. When I know I’m doing good things for my body, it gives me a mental boost. What the mind believes the body achieves. I feel better when I eat better. Doing the cleanse helps me realign my eating habits. Each time I do a cleanse I learn something new. I never used ginger until my first cleanse and now I have it almost daily in my tea and smoothie. I also carry forward new habits which help me implement more vegetables in my diet. I love the interesting mix of flavors in the meals and snacks. I love the metabolism tea and the spiced almond milk. I like repeating recipes to save time and energy. I love being able to change out ingredients and still have a great meal.

This is my 5th Spring Cleanse and while I'm never surprised by the easy recipes and tasty meals, I'm always a little surprised at how good I feel and the positive results! The cleanse comes at a very busy and stressful time of the year (as a teacher), so it's a great way to have structure and a plan to get me through the chaos of the work week. This year in particular it was helpful and insightful, and I'll continue a few more weeks with the maintenance option to get me through the end of the school year and a great start to the summer.

Thank you x 100 for having everything so organized. During Week 1 my weight went steadily down. The week’s recipes at a glance made it easy to figure out how to switch meals around, if necessary. The Grocery List made shopping so much less stressful. Having an interactive pdf was great. And, the recipes are Amazing!

I love all the cleanses! I didn’t stick with it as much as I should have but I’m going to do it again! I lost a few pounds. That’s the great thing you can use them as needed.

I had been slowly shifting my diet to more plant based but not getting results I wanted. I decided to give this cleanse a try and am so glad I did! I think what helped me stick with it was the prep help: the grocery list to get me organized, the prep guide to give me a heads start on my weeks, and the easy to follow recipes. I work late in the evenings and had a bad habit of grabbing a not so healthy snack to keep me going - during the cleanse I found I wasn't looking for that late night snack! It isn't the end of the cleanse and I'm down 6 pounds and more importantly have more go-to meals to have on hand every week!

This cleanse is truly amazing. Jen makes everything so easy! It’s well thought out and quite thorough. My husband, who is somehow able to eat GIGANTIC portions of food (and not put on the pounds), was concerned about being hungry and I was worried about blood sugar crashes (as I’m prone to that); however, what we experienced was exactly the opposite! We were quite content and even frequently so full that we had leftovers.
We’ve eaten a vastly organic diet for years, cook regularly, consume minimal processed foods, exercise regularly, etc. Lately though, I’ve been struggling with feeling bloated, tired, and just somewhat yucky. Back in 2014 I started making Jen’s green smoothies so thought I’d check out the website again and WOW have things grown, but the quality, friendliness, and thought put into things remains unchanged! We decided to go for the cleanse and we’re SO glad we did! I no longer feel bloated, digestion is great, energy is mostly back, and though I hoped to loose those pesky 5 pounds, I feel great!
Every recipe has been a winner as well!
Bravo Jen! Thanks for providing such a great service to us all! No scam here! It’s as fabulous as everyone says it is!

I joined the spring cleanse to help me break my sugar addiction and to get into the habit of cooking and prepping my meals and it did not disappoint. While the weekly prepping was sometimes difficult/long, the most challenging part was fitting it all into my tiny fridge, but I managed. While I haven't seen an increase in energy, I am definitely feeling happier with the volume of food I can eat with this diet. After 3 weeks, I feel like a better cook, and am more confident with adjusting the recipes to suit my tastes and what I have on hand, and I have lost 8 lbs!

This cleanse is AW.E.S.O.M.E. When I hear cleanse I think of starving and living on juices. I was ready to suffer because I needed a health kick start, but I was shocked in a good way. There's no living on liquids or starving here. Woot! It's all real food you can chew, with breakfast smoothies for needed fiber. The printable PDFs were sooo helpful. I didn't have time for the videos, classes, or much online interaction, but I lived in my PDFs. They are so thorough and novice friendly. I especially loved how helpful the prep suggestions were. That made the prep work necessary with plant based eating manageable. I liked most of the food and will be doing my own round 2 cleanse because with life I just could not get it all done during the formal group timeline. I found it extremely helpful that it was all planned out for me. That alone was such a time saver. I have also found new recipes I look forward to including on a regular basis. I have been dabbling in plant based eating, but having it all planned out made it so much easier to figure out. I did have a check-up during this cleanse and my cholesterol has dropped 30 points just from dabbling in plant based eating. It was great evidence that this way of eating is what my body needs. Imagine the possible results with dedicated plant based eating! I feel better eating plant based, and my colon is much happier. I am grateful for Simple Green Smoothies not only being the signpost for the direction I needed, but for being the tour guide along the way to a great new life as well! You RAWK!

I was never eating vegetables. Tons of bread and easy to grab food. I was gaining weight steadily over the years. Thought I needed a bump to get into eating more veggies. This totally worked! Now I’m cooking and have finally gotten a clue as to what to do with veggies. Not only that but I loved the food. Everything was pretty yummy. Of course I have my favorites but everything was really good. For me I tried to get in the social aspect a little but in the end I kinda failed at that but it was nice reading others posts. The prep was brutal but the cost of an easy week. I definitely cook more! If not for my bad knee I’d love to train for a marathon. I actual crave salmon pizza and I really couldn’t break that but in my defense it is sooooo good. I never really ate Cheetos or red vines. Lol. Although by being on the cleanse I denied like 5 doughnuts, 3 or 4 pastries, and tons of m&m’s at the office!! Glad to have avoided and hopefully continue to avoid all that. In the end I have been so much happier! I feel like I’m on the path and making progress towards my goal of being healthy, energized and sleeping better. Thanks for a great start!!

FABULOUS! FABULOUS! FABULOUS!! No inflammation, weight loss, feel great and less stressed. My mind is clear. My cupboards are organized! Thank you Jen! I was on the fence about signing up, but I am so glad I did. I learned so much in the last 3 weeks. How to be more organized, weekly food prep makes things so easy, no wasted food by the end of the week it’s all used up, wipe out the fridge and go shopping—-with a list! Recipes are great. 2 soups in 1 week is a bit much. I had never cooked with fennel or Swiss chard, I planted both in my garden. No coffee for 2 1/2 weeks, I thought that was crazy. I drink 2-3 cups per day. Honestly, I don’t miss it. I feel alert, not foggy and lots of energy. Lost some weight and no inflammation. I have even started doing walk/jog again with no foot pain. I do miss chocolate and need to find a substitute snack. Jen you are the gal we all wanted in the office lunchroom handing out our weekly dinner plan and shopping list to avoid the after work scramble to make dinner for our family.

I was recently diagnosed as being pre-dietbetic. I had gained weight over the winter and couldn’t lose it. I had to make a change, especially when it came to sugar. The recipes were more delicious than. I had anticipated. I love having the smoothies for breakfast. That is one thing I plan to keep doing. I have to take a minute and say that my wonderful husband was super great in supporting me in this endeavor. I didn’t lose a lot so weight during the cleanse, but I really felt better. Your instructions for the cleanse were excellent, Thank you!

I realized I needed a reset because I had gained some weight over the winter. I wasn’t feeling good about myself. I had done one of Jen’s cleanses a couple of years ago, and I remembered how amazing I felt during and after completing the 21 day cleanse. I knew signing up for the Spring Cleanse would be the perfect way to lose some weight, get energized, and feel better about myself overall! I was right!
Overall, the meals and snacks have been tasty. Everything is so well organized. I was never hungry, nor did I have cravings! I definitely plan on continuing with the smoothies, and I plan to incorporate 3 days of plant based eating weekly. Thank you, Jen, for sharing your knowledge about and enthusiasm for plant based eating!
