Hi Kandi! How did the cleanse go for you?
Pam- The only plan I have with juices is to consume lots of detoxifying juice. As far as the coconut, YES, I will provide a video on how to open the coconut. 🙂
Thanks Cortney. I was wondering, do you have some sort of plan for alternating the juices and the smoothies each day? Are you trying to have a 24 hour period where you drink only juices? Oh, and a Thai coconut. Are you going to tell us how to open this? I love coconut milk. Courtney, you are doing a wonderful job with this cleanse. I’m sure it was a lot of work putting it all on paper. Many thanks to you. Pam
