(Is that a word? I think it should be!)

And I know you’re also thinking squash? Chocolate? How can that taste good? You just have to trust me on this one… it is phenomenal. Bonus: it’s so nourishing, you could even eat this for breakfast…

Healthy Cleanse Program

This recipe is from my cleanse programs, as a healthy and delicious treat to wrap up a week of respecting and rebalancing our bodies. Because I don’t believe chocolate and health are mutually exclusive.

It’s not an extreme detox, it’s a nutritionally-balanced meal plan designed to cleanse your body naturally. There’s a smoothie and a veggie version, depending on what your body needs or what season it is.
