Let's call this recipe transitional.  In the wee hours of January 1 if you've not yet found yourself weened of all the champagne and chocolate that the holidays can bring, we suggest making baby steps with rich-tasting and nourishing smoothies like this one. Full of health-boosting spices and cacao, your mind will barely notice the subtle shift into a healthy new season. It's important to be good to yourself in preparing for a juice cleanse and to go at a pace that feels natural to you!
