The Benefits of a Juice Cleanse

The Benefits of a Juice Cleanse

August 27, 2015 · by · in Food & Travel

Recently, Jeff and I took on a 3-day cleanse with the help from our friends at Pure Green — after suffering food poisoning from what probably was from the white chocolate cookies and cream cookie dough — we shared one cookie raw (okay, probably a lot more, but we thought that was a myth!) amongst 3 people and suffered tremendously :/  so a cleanse was in order and it had to be from a fresh, organic, and trusted source.

We chose the 3-day cleanse where we had 6 juices per day, which we had to balance with just as much if not more water. One of the best parts was that we had a coach to guide us through the process with any questions, concerns, or needed motivation. The juices were so delicious that both Jeff and I still crave them even after our cleanse. It was a good mixture of vegetables and fruits, each cleanse is customizable depending on your diet and likes and you can change them each day. But we liked ours so much, we just stuck with our routine for the whole 3 days — very unlike us!

The right juice cleanse will rest and repair the gut, get you back on a healthier track, while helping you lose weight as Woodson Merrell, M.D. — Chairman of the Department of Integrative Medicine, Beth Israel Medical Center and Author of The Detox Prescription — explained in his Huffington Post article “The Real Reasons Juice Cleanses Can Get Your Health Back on Track” — and take my word, with Pure Green this will be a more delightful process.

 

Here are the benefits we experienced from our juice cleanse with Pure green:

 

  • Getting the right nutrients into our system — we still crave those nutrients and have been eating much healthier since.
  • An increase of vegetable and fruit cravings & intake we still maintain after the cleanse — my mom would be so proud!
  • Improvement in energy and healthier decision making
  • Maintaining portion control — I’ve fallen under the category of overeating and with the portions we’re served these days it’s hard to tell when to stop. Juicing helped give me a natural ‘that’s enough’ instinct.

#1 Green CoCo

Always felt like the right way to start my day — with lots of nutrients from vegetables and the coconut water gave it an extra sweet kick with plenty of nutrients.

#2 Pure Greens

Pure Greens comes in a few different variety that mix and match the base greens of kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, zucchini, and romaine with some sweet flavors including apple, lemon, + ginger. A nice transition juice leading the progression towards higher natural fructose drinks

#3 Coconut Hydrate

This is one of Pure Green founder Ross Franklin’s favorites and I’m all on board! The chia seeds in this drink helped energize me and I’m such a pineapple kind of girl. Love the flavor!

#4 Pure Watermelon

This drink got me through my days! Between my empty stomach and the heat, I have this delicious watermelon drink to thank for hydrating me.

#5 Rockin Beet

By the time you’ve reached juice 5 of the day, you’re approaching night time and the combo of beets, carrots, apples, and more helped bring a delicious boost to the homestretch of the day.

#6 Soul Kick

Every night we ended our cleanse with the sweet combinations of apple, pineapple, lemon, ginger — turning it into our well earned ‘dessert.’
