Note: All fruits are preferred to be fresh, organic, and local/seasonal whenever possible. Dried fruits are okay in moderation, but be aware of high sugar content (albeit natural sugars). You can reconstitute dried fruits by soaking in water to add moisture content back in, which will cut down on their potential constipating effects.

Note about Sweeteners: The sweet taste in general is meant for us to consume in small amounts.
Natural fructose in whole fruits are available seasonally and come “packaged” with beneficial fiber, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Unfortunately, we’ve grown accustomed to having them readily available whenever we want.
We consume too many empty calories and this has detrimental effects on our bodies and emotions.
We highly recommend that any processed sweetener always be used in moderation, especially during the Clean Program where the detoxification organs are working extra hard.
