I’ve heard about various types of cleansing from a friend, and always wondered about the benefits. Just to clarify, when I say cleansing, I mean a total diet transformation for a specific period of time. Cleanses can be 3 days 7 days, or any amount of days you are comfortable doing. Juice cleanses are quickly gaining popularity for their door to door service, freshness guarantee, quality, and most of all, ease of starting this lifestyle. Some people cleanse once a month, other every few months. There are no set rules for cleansing, just be consistent.
I had the opportunity to try out Skinny Limits juices. They sent me a package of their 3 day juice cleanse system which consisted of 18 bottles. They label all their juices so you know which juice you are to drink each time. There are no foods during this cleanse, but if you are really needing something to crunch in to get you through your 6 juices a day, you can snack on some almonds or fresh fruit.
I tasted each juice and they were all pleasant. After reading other reviews I see this is a matter of opinion, but I personally love fresh juice flavors which also include veggies. My favorites are the scorpion lemonade which has a bit of a kick to it, and the crescent moon which includes cashews and coconut milk with hints of vanilla and cinnamon.
Here’s the full list of the juices included and their ingredients:
- Pure & Simple (Green Juice): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, apple, and lemon.
- Balance (Green Ginger): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, apple, lemon, and ginger.
- Green Firefly: Kale, spinach, parsley, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, and pineapple.
- Scorpion Lemonade: Lemons, agave nectar, cayenne, and filtered water.
- Crescent Moon: Raw cashews, vanilla bean, cinnamon, agave nectar, coconut oil, himalayan sea salt, and filtered water.
There is a specific way to drink the juices- they are labeled by number so you know which to start with. You should also consume the entire drink in 5 minutes and not try to make it last until your next drink, which is about 2-3 hours later.
Cleansing is not easy. You need to go in it knowing that you will be hungry, and there may be done unpleasant side effects. These are temporary, but the benefits may be worth it. People generally do not cleanse to lose weight, but that is an added benefit.
