This way, I just grabbed a bag with everything I needed for that juice inside. Then I separated everything into bags by juice & day. To help with that, I bought all my fruits and veggies and washed everything and then cut everything except the apples, and beets. Over the year, I have found that the prepping is much harder than the clean-up. I have an Omega Masticating Juicer, which I have had for over a year now and use it often. Also, check with your MD if you have any health concerns that need to be discussed.

Words of caution: It is possible to experience a whole list of detox symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, shakiness, diarrhea, etc if you eat a lot of processed foods, caffeine, alcohol & meat. To help my brain remember what I did, and in case I want or need to cleanse again, I am going to write out exactly what I did. So all in all, it is a lot more satisfying. Instead of just drinking green juice all day, you drink green juice AND fruit juices AND cashew milk (which is super yummy). I’ve done 1-2 day juice cleanses before, but this one was way better. I followed a plan on ( here is another) which was sorta based on the BluePrint plan, but added my own little twist. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t horrible either.

Yuck! This all prompted me to take some major action and do a little cleanse and get myself back to being the green goddess that I usually am. Plus, I had started feeling congested all the time and my face was starting to break-out. I was feeling awful, eating too much bread and sweets (too many homemade vegan cookies and vegan tamales) and a little too much dairy here and there which resulted in several nights of horrible tummy pain. I just finished up a 3 day juice cleanse and I feel great! It all came about because of a very busy November and December where I didn’t eat well, didn’t do much yoga or any other exercise and I gained some weight.
