Green Smoothie Cleanse - Store bought smoothie recommendation

The general consensus is that a cleanse won't accomplish anything.
If you want to fast, then fast. But going on a cleanse with what is essentially sugar water suggests what the manufacturers hope is true. Their target market doesn't read labels.7 -

You might be right, but I know when I need help and right now I need it for sure. I'm spending the same amount of money eating junk anyway
But it sounds like the kind of help you're looking for to jump-start your weight loss is losing some water weight which you'll regain as soon as you begin eating regular food again, because you'll only lose a couple of ounces of actual fat doing this. Even if you're staying within your calorie goal you're going to regain the water weight, and I would think that would make you feel depressed rather than motivated.6 -

Please check your reading comprehension. The general consensus is you do not need any cleanse, regardless of where is comes from.21 -

General consensus is save your money and don't bother.13 -

No, the general consensus is do not do it at all. Are you not seeing that, or are you so convinced this is such a good idea that logic and science won't change your mind?
If that's the case, knock yourself out.

Agreed with the majority here.
Our bodies do not need a cleanse, even to get back on track. It's absolutely not necessary and can be down right dangerous. A dear missed member here almost had car accidents from doing cleanses as she was not consuming enough calories. Scary stuff.
Our bodies do a great job of... running themselves.
Weight loss is a calories game. You can include a portion of so-called-junk in your nutritious "diet" and still lose weight.3 -

You're missing the point entirely.
It's usually a waste to post links to actual science on these topics since most won't bother to read them anyway when their mind is already made up, but maybe they'll help somebody else who's reading along:

I highly recommend not going past 5 days. I do a juice cleanse once a year. 5 days was the longest I've done and won't do again. You need energy and without the adequate nutrition you'll loose : sleep, focusing, endurance. I don't recommend more than 3 days.
If you're on a budget and love Target - try Suja. Pressed Juicery is a top reviewed juicing cleanse as well. I don't like smoothies because of the texture. Naked is TOO high calorie/sugar. If you love Starbucks, they'll make you a Naked Greens smoothie with banana.
This is great. Thank you

cleanse is not necessary
jump start is the words used by someone trying to con you out of your money.

It does help cleanse your wallet of that dirty cash, though. At least there's that.9

Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate the response and also the science. I do read it. When I said the general consensus is not to go store bought. I was referring specifically to the query on Naked Juice Vs Store Bought Vs Juice from the Raw (which is not store bought). My perceived consensus of the feedback is “do not go store bought” this is also aligned with the research I have done which says store bought is not very good. Based on this I will not go store bought.
You have also been helpful in providing the feedback and science on not to do a cleanse at all. I understand this feedback and that this is the overall consensus.
However I have already decided to do a cleanse and was looking for the lesser of 2 evils (Store bought vs invest in getting the real fresh stuff). Its expensive (I agree), not necessary (I agree) , may be a total waste of time (I agree). However I want to do a jump start and I decided to use the cleanse to do it. There have been invaluable feedback from you all and I thank you. I’m definitely not doing 10days for sure. I’ll do 3 to 5 at most maybe.

Have fun! I trust it'll all work out in the end.
PS: You're not a motorcycle. No 'jumpstart' needed.

I'm not sure how starving yourself is going to help you kick the junk food diet you are on. Logic would tell us it would just be easier to not buy the junk food. I mean what makes a cleanse so magical that it keeps you from eating a bag of chips? Especially since you know a cleanse does nothing for your body except to make you sick and starving? If you wanted to eat better you would, you wouldn't try stupid crap to get to where you want to be, that just shows that you aren't ready to lose the weight, because you aren't taking it serious.6

There are better, more practical ways to do "jump starts".
I fully understand the idea of wanting to do something to mark the beginning of one's progress to making a big change.
Why not take steps that will form the foundation for lasting, sustainable change rather than engage in something that will just waste time and money?
A better idea for a jump start is to start a Pinterest board to gather healthy recipes. Clear out your pantry of expired ingredients or things you no longer plan to eat. Plan a menu for your first week on your new diet and shop for it, buying plenty of healthy, fresh ingredients.
Read the forum stickies and learn how weight loss works so you understand the process you're undertaking.
Look into different exercise plans and try one or two new things.
All of these are different ways of jump starting one's diet, and they are all far more practical than a "cleanse".15 -
