How To Cleanse
————————————————
Introduction
Congratulations! We’re so thrilled you have decided to take such a positive step toward your health and well-being. Go ahead and give yourself a pre-cleanse pat on the back. Incorporating juicing into your life is a great way to flood your body with nutrients – one bottle of pressed juice can contain over half your daily requirements of fruits and vegetables for the day – and a detox cleanse is like a boot camp for your body to help quickly and efficiently rid your body of toxins, heavy metals, and stored digestive waste.
Our cleanses are designed to give you some structure to make your cleansing experience as easy and possible. No mess, no fuss, nothing complicated to remember. Just four to six juices prepared for you, organized in a way to match your body’s natural elimination cycle. While any combination of pressed juices combined with limiting your solid food consumption will trigger your body’s detoxification process, our curated cleanses order your drinks in a way that helps rapidly accelerate your detoxification cycle in the morning, and rebuilds you with an abundance of vitamins and minerals later in the day.
Full Day Cleanse
You’ve committed to a full day cleanse, and boy will your body thank you. With six juices per day, lots of water, and no solid foods, you will enter full detoxification. Begin your day and within 45 minutes of waking, consume your first juice. Space your remaining juices every two to three hours with lots of water in-between.
A good strategy is to fill the juice bottle you just finished with water, and sip it between juices. Try to match your water consumption with your juice consumption.
Juice ’til Dinner
Not quite ready to commit to a full day of no eating? Not a problem – we’ve got you covered with plenty of juices until dinnertime. Your body eliminates most vigorously in the mornings, so you’re still giving your body plenty of resources to detox.
This cleanse is similar to how intermittent fasting works, is much more sustainable over longer periods of time, and can be done more frequently. Many people treat a Juice ’til Dinner as a lifestyle and more permanent diet! We commend them. Begin your day and within 45 minutes of waking, consume your first juice. Space your remaining juices every two to three hours with lots of water in-between.

You’re on the hook for dinner, and we recommend you keep it as healthy and unprocessed as possible. Salads, soups, lean protein sources like chicken, salmon, and vegetarian options like tofu are great dinner options.
Tips and FAQ’s
Try to limit you consumption of stimulants like caffeine and alcohol. If coffee is an important part of your morning routine, try decaf or switch to tea if possible. If no coffee is keeping your from cleansing – we get it, enjoy your cup. Your body will still massively benefit even with some added stimulants.
Hungry? Totally. Not eating is super hard. You will have the greatest urge to eat during the first day or two of cleansing. It takes a lot of will power, but see if you can fight the urge, especially if you are doing the full day cleanse. It gets much easier as the days go on. Try drinking some extra water or add some warm tea for some different flavors and temperature. All said, definitely listen to your body! If your mental health is being affected, grab a snack. A handful of nuts, some avocado, or other healthy snacks can be a cleanse savior. A cleanse is meant to be a healing and enjoyable experience for your body and mind. Do what feels right for you.
Coming off the cleanse, it’s very important you reintroduce foods slowly and carefully, especially if your cleanse was longer than three days. Your stomach has likely shrunk a bit, and too much food too fast could make you feel nauseous or bloated. A smoothie, soup, or soft fruits like bananas for breakfast are great hybrid foods to help reintroduce your body to solid foods again. Progress a little heavier for lunch – things like oatmeal, chicken, rice, or quinoa with salad is are great options. You should be back to normal by dinner, but again listen to your body and do what feels right.
