![]() My goal isn't to lose weight (which is always nice), but my main goal is to get some of my regular bloating down. I’m also hoping that the awesomeness I feel after juicing is magnified since these will be fresher than fresh every day. Soooo.What am I hoping to gain from all of this? Reduction in water weight. ![]() Nothing like having supporters, even when they are virtual strangers. Oftentimes, they strike up conversation with me as I buy my healthy and organic grocery items, which just pumps me up even more to make it happen. The coolest thing about buying this much produce at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, is that everyone that works there totally understands your purchase. Grocery List (organic whenever available):Īnd there were three items that I already had in my kitchen: Here are my supplies, with most coming from Trader Joe’s to keep costs down, and the rest purchased from Vons and Whole Foods: I find that this is the only additional nourishment that I needed last time. This is easily satisfied by eating 1/2 an avocado. On occasion, I noticed mid-afternoon my stomach grumbles a little. To summarize, I’ll be drinking one juice every couple of hours, starting around 8:30am and ending around 7 or 8pm. Instead I will drink a Lemon Love (Suja substitute), which is more or less a spicy lemonade in place of the Fiji and a Cashew Milk ( Blueprint juice substitute) in place of the Vanilla Cloud. The Fiji was simply too overpowering in the celery department for my tastebuds and the Vanilla Cloud wasn't as creamy or fulfilling as I had hoped. I opted to swap out the Fiji and the Vanilla Cloud. ![]() DESSERT: Vanilla Cloud (consume a minimum of 3 hours before bed to ensure full digestion) ![]() Each bottle should be consumed in it's entirety, however you can consume them in several servings, if you need to.Īnd the order of juicing as listed by Suja is as follows:Ħ. When your body feels the need for something more, begin with your juices for the day as indicated. *On the morning of your first day, alkalize your body and prepare it for your first juice with a warm glass of water with a lemon and/or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. I like the idea of following somewhat of a program rather than throwing a bunch of random ingredients in my juicer and hoping for the best, so I am taking a few cues from Suja on structuring my daily juice intake similar to the instructions they provide: I’m sure there isn't any one correct way to do a cleanse so I am praying that I will get good results. I opted to toss out the ones I didn't like much and replace with a couple of other recipes I sourced on Pinterest. Fortunately, I saved my Suja Juice Cleanse box and a quick Google search led me to the exact number of ingredients in each juice. Not to mention that I work from home, so…I don’t have a good excuse as to why I can't attempt a homemade juice cleanse. Although, I’m not really looking forward to prepping and cleaning produce and scrubbing my juicer regularly, I do actually own a perfectly good juicer. Plus, who wants to clean their juicer five times a day? NOT ME! But if I can save a significant amount of money and still create delicious juices, I am down for the sacrifice of cleaning the juicer. That said, the amount of organic produce it takes to make five organic juices plus one nut milk (which seems to be the standard) isn't exactly economical either, so I understand why they're priced so high, especially when you factor in manufacturing and branding and bottling and shipping. And, of course, all of them are pricey at about $60-70 per day. I soon learned that some of the cleanse programs seem to be kind of high in sugar. They were delicious but I didn't get the same result I got from Suja. I considered switching to another juice program and even tried a semi-juice cleanse at the end of August using a few Evolution Fresh juices(purchased at my local grocery store, Vons). My last juice cleanse was just after the 4th of July so it was time to do it again. ![]()
