This cleanse is specifically for building up your immune system and for increased fat loss. This is directed towards more of the beginner cleansers. (Definitely not omitting the experienced cleansers though). These juices are on the sweeter side, but still have healthy greens to help cleanse your body. It’s not extremely green though, so it’s a good kickstart into having a lifestyle of healing your body from the inside out. We don’t have to keep weight that is put on and we are capable of going through every season without getting sick. We just have to give the body the chance it needs to keep itself strong. Juice cleansing truly helps prevent sickness and excessive weight gain.

Why Cleanse?

A juice cleanse gives your body a break from digesting all the time and helps it focus on healing your body from the inside out. Everybody needs a break. Juice cleansing will help flood your body with much needed nutrients while, at the same time, it’s not having to defend itself against toxins entering into it on a regular basis. All of our juices are raw, cold pressed, and filled with essential nutrients to get your body what it needs to be healthy.

What To Do?

It is VERY IMPORTANT for you to eat all raw at least 1 day prior to juice fasting. A good rule of thumb is for every 3 days you do a cleanse, do 1 day of a raw diet beforehand and afterwards. So if you are doing a 5 day cleanse, commit to 2 days of an all raw diet before starting your juice cleanse. All raw refers to fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. No meat, no dairy, no processed foods; just raw fruits and vegetables.

If you were to eat regularly today and stop eating tomorrow then your body would go into starvation mode and hold onto all the toxins and fat inside of you instead of letting them go. By going all raw ahead of time, your body is prepared for the cleanse you are about to do and then will willingly release the toxins and fat and will cleanse much more smoothly. ALSO, breaking the fast is JUST AS IMPORTANT as the cleanse itself. It is vital for you to eat all raw as you break your fast. At least one day after your cleanse needs to be all raw fruits and vegetables. While cleansing your metabolism becomes nonexistent, because you are no longer digesting; you are focusing on absorbing nutrients and healing. So, to break your fast, you need to ease your body back into digesting. Otherwise, any weight you have lost will immediately be put back on.

Eating fruits like grapefruit, watermelon, fruits and vegetables that already have a lot of water content naturally, are fantastic for breaking a fast. Smoothies are ideal for having for dinner the first couple of days after fasting. Juice and a lot of water should be included as you break your fast as well. You don’t want to give your body so many nutrients and then just quit cold turkey. Don’t overeat. Overeating will overwhelm your system; that would be the worst for you at this point. Pay attention to your body; more than likely you won’t actually feel hunger immediately after cleansing; you may just be mentally craving certain things. Ignore the cravings! It’s just a few days of your life and it will benefit you beyond your expectations. During the cleanse you will have 5 juices a day. You should be drinking a juice about every 2 ½ hours, depending on how long you are awake during the day. You may have any kinds of herbal teas and a lot of water throughout the day to keep you hydrated and have something in your stomach. Herbal teas are highly suggested. Teas can be beneficial for so many different things and they give you a different flavor outside of water.

Green tea is a great alternative to coffee. Ginger tea benefits everything with your organs, tissues, blood system, respiratory system, etc. Peppermint tea, Chamomile tea, Rooibos tea, Dandelion tea, etc, are all great examples for you.

What To Expect:

It is VERY IMPORTANT for you to eat all raw at least 1 day prior to juice fasting. A good rule of thumb is for every 3 days you do a cleanse, do 1 day of a raw diet beforehand and afterwards. So if you are doing a 5 day cleanse, commit to 2 days of an all raw diet before starting your juice cleanse. All raw refers to fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. No meat, no dairy, no processed foods; just raw fruits and vegetables.

Some things to possibly expect (but will go away) as a cleansing effect of juice fasting are:

  • Hunger (eating all raw beforehand helps hunger go away faster)
  • Low amounts of energy: You will also get random moments of great energy, but you will probably need to designate time throughout the day to rest more than usual
  • Headaches (Sweating will solve most headache problems)
  • White coating of the tongue
  • Blemishes
  • Bad Breath
  • Body Odor
  • Mood Fluctuations

This will be an amazing restart for your body’s health! It’s an amazing feat that our bodies are capable of cleansing us from the inside out. Good luck, stay strong, and cheers to your health!

Some Raw Recipes For You:

Kale, Blueberry, Goji and Avocado Salad:

2 small bunches of Tuscan kale 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup dried goji berries (soak them if they’re very hard or dry) 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight, drained 1 cup blueberries 1 medium avocado, cubed

Remove stems and center ribs from kale. Stack leaves and thinly slice crosswise into ribbons. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and white pepper. Using hands, massage oil and salt into kale leaves. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add goji berries, pumpkin seeds and blueberries to salad, and toss to mix. Top with avocado, and serve.

Gazpacho Soup:

2 red bell peppers, cored and seeded 4 plum tomatoes 1 red onion 3 garlic cloves, minced 23 ounces tomato juice (3 cups) 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1/4 cup good olive oil 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt 1 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!

After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.

Raw Tacos:

Raw paté: 1 cup raw pecans 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoon coriander 2 teaspoons Nama Shoyu 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon dried ground jalapeno pepper 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 3 tablespoons water Tacos: 1 to 2 heads romaine lettuce, whole leaves removed 1-2 tomatoes, chopped 1 avocado, diced handful sprouts 1 lime

Blend all paté ingredients in a blender or food processor until chopped, but not fully blended.

Lay a piece of lettuce on a plate. Dollop on the raw paté and cover with tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, and a squeeze of lime.

Mediterranean wrap with red pepper (or garlic, or your choice) raw hummus

2 large collard greens 2 cups spinach 1 avocado Hummus (there is a fantastic raw garlic hummus in the produce section of whole foods) this is great to dip carrots, celery, tomatoes, zucchini, etc in 1/2 cup zucchini cut into long, thin spears 1/4 cup pitted black olives

Cut the leaves away from the thick center stem of each collard leaf to make a total of four flat pieces. Top each collard section with spinach leaves, spoonful of hummus, avocado, zucchini and black olives. Roll up in a wrap and enjoy

You can switch this up and add cilantro sometimes, or basil leaves and it changes the flavor dramatically. Mustard goes really well on this too. Garlic, celery, and mushrooms can be added as well. This makes for a wonderful raw food wrap

If you have a food processor you can get creative and process together avocado, parsley, cilantro, pistachios, salt, lemon, olive oil, etc and make a great pesto. Putting pesto on top of red peppers/tomatoes (or any vegetable that you prefer) is a great snack/appetizer

Mexican Lime Soup:

-1/2 cup sliced onion 1/4 cup lime juice sea salt minced garlic 1 tsp fresh thyme (1/2 tsp for dried thyme)\1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups filtered water 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 2 large avocados 2 celery sticks

Place onions, lime juice, salt, garlic, thyme, and olive oil in a mixing bowl and set aside to marinate and soften for 20 minutes. Add to water in a blender and pulse gently to mix. (Feel free to add whatever other vegetables you enjoy)

Raw Soup:

1 pound of carrots 1/2 avocado 1 teaspoon squeezed lime juice 3/4 teaspoon curry powder 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro 1/8 teaspoon salt (Cumin can be really good as well, and cayenne if you like spicy)

Place all of this in a blender and put on medium speed, then top with cilantro. It's really good!

Guacamole:

3 Avocados 2 Tomatoes ½ Medium Sweet Onion ½ Jalapeno Pepper 1 Lime 1 Tablespoon Fresh Cilantro 1 Clove of Garlic, minced 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin ½ teaspoon Cayenne Sea Salt Pepper
