My favorite Juice Cleanse
Recipes that make for a great
juice cleanse and full body
reset.
I’m a huge fan of juicing. I just love it!! And because
so many of you have asked me to elaborate on it,
I’ve decided to share what my juice cleanse look
like from start to finish!
First and foremost let me say, I am not a nutritionist
and I don’t claim to know everything. I just know
how my body reacts to juicing and it’s nice to shed
5+ pounds when I’m feeling bloated and pudgy
after some serious holiday indulgence. I also know
it’s not for everyone – so if you’re totally anti-juicing,
might I suggest you check out these healthy
quinoa salads I’ve been whipping up!
Now that we’ve got that out of the way… here’s the
deal!

What does a juice cleanse do to
your body?
As I mentioned above, I’m not a nutritionist so you
should absolutely consult with one if needed. That
said, my personal experience from juicing is as
follows. The juices provide a mega dose of
nutrients into my body which always makes me
feel great. It allows my body to reset when it
comes to digestion. The extra dose of vitamins
boosts my immune system and gives me way more
energy that usual.
How long should you do a juice
cleanse?
It’s totally up to you. I find that I get the best results
when I juice for 3-4 days. You should keep in mind
that on top of those 3-4 juicing days, there is a pre
and post period that’s very important. So if I’m
juicing for 3 days, it really means the cleanse is 9
days… because of the 3 day pre cleanse and 3 day
post cleanse schedule that I follow.
If you’re new to juicing, I’d say start with a 3 day
cleanse. They aren’t easy – and you want to make
sure you aren’t going crazy all the time! So I vote for
starting on the shorter side and seeing how your
body reacts. And for sure, don’t skip the pre and
post cleanse – I’ve done it before and it’s much
harder without the pre/post schedule.
How do you prep for a juice
cleanse?
I usually prep for 3 days leading up to the cleanse. I
cut out basically everything except fruits and
vegetables. I eat loaded salads with di!erent
veggies, drink boat loads of herbal tea, and hydrate
with LARGE amounts of water to prepare myself.
No meat, no cheese, no pasta… you get the idea.

What juicer do you use for a juice
cleanse?
Let’s talk equipment. I have the Breville Slow Juicer
which I love. The Hurom is also AMAZING. I like the
“slow” juicers because you actually extract more
fiber and nutrients from the fruits and veggies
which gives you more pulp and gives you a bit of a
thicker juice and all that jazz aka more fiber!
What does a juice cleanse
schedule look like?
During my 3-4 days of “juicing” I drink about 6
glasses of juice a day and 6 glasses of water. I
make 3 kinds of juice and for lack of better names, I
call them by color: Green Juice (3 glasses daily),
Red Juice (1 glass daily), Orange Juice (2 glasses
daily). And then I cap o! the day with my
strawberry almond milk.

So here’s what a day would look like for me:
7:00 am wake up – drink some white ginger
tea or hot lemon water
8:00 am – Green Juice #1 + Water
10:00 Orange Juice #1 + Water
12:00 Green Juice #2 + Water
2:00 Red Juice #1+ Water
4:00 Green Juice #3+ Water
6:00 Orange Juice #2+ Water
8:00 Strawberry Almond Milk and some more
white ginger tea
And that’s about it. Then it’s o! to bed where
my dreams are usually filled with food. Just
kidding, kinda, not really. It’s hard when I live
in the food world not to dream about food!!
What do you eat after a juice
cleanse?
Post juice cleanse I slowly work my body back onto
normal food. I eat lots of raw veggies to start and
then slowly work in fruits, fish, quinoa etc. I usually
try to stay o! of meat for a few more days because
that’s just how I roll.
How do you feel during a juice
cleanse?
Day 1 is always the hardest for me because I am
“head” hungry. Which basically means I think I’m
hungry… but really I’m not. I’m just bored and want
to eat. Truth is, I’m packing my body with so many
micronutrients, it has plenty to run on. I just start
day dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches
and then I go crazy. So if you’re juicing, you should
probably stay o! the food section of Pinterest.

By day 2 I feel like a million bucks. I sleep better at
night, wake up in the morning ready to go. (I
literally jump out of bed and Thomas thinks I’m a
crazy person) Okay and this might sound weird, but
you actually see things more clearly. Not
figuratively… I mean literally. Things are sharp and
crisp and you’re just ready to take on the day!
So… you might be wondering why I juice? Well, I
love it. I do it about every 3-4 months as a way to
re-set my body and let it rest. And have you guys
ever seen that movie, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead? It’s
kinda life changing. I’d highly recommend it if you’re
into this kinda thing. It’s super inspiring.
Alright. Ready for some recipes… I am going to give
you recipes for all 4 of the liquids I drink during the
cleanse. And each recipe is enough for 1 glass so if
you’re juicing in bulk every morning, multiply each
recipe by however many juices you’ll need that day!

I have started making the juices but I have no
juicer so I have been blending the ingredients
and then using a strainer to get rid of the ac-
cess. I have to say the juice I drain is still a full
glass and is very good. Do you think I’m still
benefiting from the juice?

In the orange juice, are the carrots the small
ones. I see in the red juice you said “large car-
rots” but didn’t say large for the orange juice.
