JUICE CLEANSES

The Hot Shot is now a part of the cleanse because of its immunity and metabolism boosting benefits. Lemon juice is very high in vitamin c, and drinking the Hot Shot with hot water in the morning as the first step of the cleanse could give you energy and boost your metabolism. Meanwhile Ginger and Cayenne Pepper serve the purpose of kick-starting your digestive system for the day supporting your body’s natural detox function.

A juice cleanse is a day of fresh juice, allowing your body to rest from digesting food, while rapidly absorbing nutrients. While the juices are giving you energy, your body allows itself to focus on cleansing and gives your digestive system a break. The cleanse is meant to kick start mindful decisions post cleanse and to help make better dietary choices.

During your juice cleanse, you will consume (1) wellness shot, (6) fresh fruit and vegetable juices, (1) Almond Milk, and (1) bottle of water to remind you to drink plenty of water between each juice.

In today’s chemically dependent lifestyle of long commutes and grab and go meals, harmful toxins from our food, water, and air enter our bodies in high quantities. A buildup of toxins in the body can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms, such as digestive problems, fatigue, irritability, restlessness, headaches, all of which have been linked to serious illnesses.

A juice cleanse helps to reset the body by giving your digestive system a much needed rest from the toxic overload of our daily food consumption and from the exhaustive process of breaking down food for nutrients.

The essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients from the juice are absorbed directly into the bloodstream for instant benefits – helping nourish your body, reset your routine, and leave you feeling your best.

Juice cleansing aids in removing extra toxins and wastes from your body and introduces pure, wholesome vitamins, minerals and nutrients into your system. As a result you may experience:

• Reset your routine
• A feeling of well-being of the mind and body
• Increased energy and blood flow
• Improved metabolism and digestion 
• Rejuvenated complexion 
• Elevated mood
• Reduced inflammation
• Decreased dependence on unhealthy foods

There may be some unpleasant physical pain during your cleanse, but they will most likely be mild and pass quickly. You may experience some of the following:

• Headaches 
• Fatigue 
• Irritability 
• Constipation/Diarrhea 
• Dizziness 
• Elimination of mucus 
• Abdominal cramps 
• Increased urinary output 

While bothersome, these potential side effects may be a sign that your body is eliminating toxins and breaking unhealthy food addictions, which is the desirable outcome of a cleanse. However, if you experience any serious adverse reactions, you should break the cleanse immediately and seek medical help.

We offer a variety of cleanse lengths ranging from one (1) to three (3) days, our most popular being the two (2) day cleanse.

Many of the ingredients in our juice have diuretic properties which help flush toxins and excess water weight, and you are likely to rid water bloat during a cleanse since the calories being consumed are much less than average daily intake. Although the cleanse is not meant for weight loss, it could kick start a weight loss journey and support a healthy relationship with overall dietary habits.

If you have any concerns or questions on whether cleansing is right for you, always consult your doctor before doing this juice cleanse. 

While a juice cleanse can be highly beneficial for junk food addicts, wellness experts, and individuals with varying degrees of dedication to a healthy lifestyle, it is not right for everyone. If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, you should consult your doctor before doing a juice cleanse. 

We DO NOT recommend juice cleansing before the age of 18 or if you are pregnant or nursing.  Nor is it recommended if you are underweight, have low blood pressure, or are closely watching your blood sugar. However, we would still suggest making our fresh beverages a part of your lifestyle, whether you are cleansing or not. Routine consumption of our juice will support your health and wellness goals, and keep you looking your best.

If you take any prescription medication, you should discuss doing a juice cleanse with a medical professional prior to starting.

The answer to this question is different for everyone. A juice cleanse can kick start a change in your diet or help you get back on track after over consumption. Many of our customers choose to cleanse as a seasonal routine to help maintain health goals. The frequency of your cleanses depend entirely on you and the needs of your body.  Pay attention to your body and to how you are feeling! If you experience digestive problems, fatigue, irritability, restlessness, headaches or just feel out of balance, a cleanse may help you to reach a higher state of well-being. 

Yes!

To maximize the benefits of your cleanse and prepare your body for juice cleansing, we recommend making some changes three days prior to your cleanse. That would mean easing into the cleanse with a three-day pre cleanse diet and easing out of the cleanse with a three-day post cleanse diet. 

Focusing on wholesome foods that are easier for your digestive system to process, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains and plenty of water will help break your dependence on processed foods that contribute to toxic buildup in your system.  

During these three days, limit meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, refined starches (bread, white rice, pasta), sugary foods and beverages, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and alcohol, which all can tax your system. Instead of using processed oils to cook foods, try steamed meals and soups.  The goal is to keep it clean!

The order is a suggested order to drink your juice but it can be customized as you feel necessary. We have arranged the juices in your cleanse to optimize the detoxification process.  For example, the last beverage of the day, a protein rich almond milk, will ensure that you are satisfied throughout the night and can obtain restful, restorative sleep. 

Yes! Please inform us if you have any allergies prior to the cleanse, and we will substitute any necessary beverages with a green juice that will work to meet your needs.

If you are trying to cut back on your caffeine consumption, we recommend trying herbal tea if you are having caffeine withdrawals. Depending on what your goals are during the cleanse, it is okay to have a small amount of black coffee as part of your daily routine so your body is at ease.

Yes! During the cleanse period, in addition to the beverages provided in your cleanse, you should drink plenty of water between each juice. Hunger is sometimes disguised as dehydration, so try drinking water to see if the hunger subsides. As an option, you may also have herbal teas and low-sodium broth, if needed. 

If you need more to supplement the juice, don’t worry! You are not negating the benefits of the juice cleanse and will still be gaining the benefits. Try eating just a little of the following to see if it helps you get by.

• Vegetable and fruit smoothie
• Raw vegetables (celery, carrots, cucumber)
• 1/4th of an avocado
• Low-sodium broth
• Herbal Tea

Yes! Light exercise will help your body to eliminate toxins through your activity. We do not recommend you push yourself too hard since you’re consuming a limited amount of calories. A cleanse is meant to allow your body to rest. If you experience any light-headedness or discomfort while exercising, stop to rest immediately, and seek medical help if needed.

We recommend that you ease out of your cleanse by introducing solid foods slowly over the 3 days immediately following your liquid diet. Eat small meals filled with wholesome, raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains.  

When cooking foods, be sure to avoid processed oils or anything deep fried. If you are ready to introduce animal proteins, choose lean meats and fish. We recommended continuing to avoid excessive amounts of caffeine, alcohol and added sugar during this time.  

Be sure to drink plenty of water, as your body will continue to flush toxins during this post-cleanse period. We recommend continued daily consumption of 100% fresh juice after your cleanse to help support your health goals. You did it, and we are confident you will be happy with your results. If you stick with healthy choices, you will feel the benefits of your cleanse longer.
