Raw soups and smoothies- 40 Day Semi Raw Food Cleanse

Any DELICIOUS green drink recipes or Vitamix soup recipes are welcome!!  
I am a newbie so taste is everything right now...

Starting: May 11th
Ending: June 19th


Starting weight- 175 lbs
Goal Weight- 130-150

Reason?
Part of my depression outside of the genetic reasons is my infertility, weight gain and being OCD about my skin.  This "cleanse" will be a challenge to me so completing it will be empowering.  I am a foodie, so "culinarily" speaking I want to see if I can survive.  I will do light exercise as anything too intense isn't recommended with my medication.
-Get pregnant
-Lose weight
-Clear skin
-Increase liquids
-Increase fiber
-Increase energy
-I CAN DO HARD THINGS for me!  Empowerment.


Menu, Week 1-  I know it isn't perfect, but I am trying something new and this is what I think I can do for now.  I will be using my new Vitamix :)  I'm so excited!
