So the Juice Cleanse Experiment Begins!
Here are the details!
We ordered the 5 Day Pressed Juice Cleanse from Costco on July 3. It arrived on July 9 (one day earlier than expected). Yay!
The Pressed Juice Cleanse arrived in 2 BIG boxes…one for me and one for hubby.
Wow! What an expert packing system! The 5 Day Pressed Juice Cleanse comes with thirty 12 oz juices and ten juice “shots”. The boxes were lined with cotton-filled recyclable liners and had a whole bunch of large ice packs to keep the juices cold and fresh. The ice packs are no ordinary ice packs though–they can be repurposed as plant food! What??? Great idea, Pressed Juice! You get lots of points just for THAT! 
AND…to my surprise, in the midst of a heat wave, everything arrived cold! Yahoo! Expiration dates were good. Most of the juices looked fresh (separation is normal, and the lighter “floating” juice looked mostly bright except for a few of the Greens with Ginger which were a little dark and stormy–read, “oxidation”.) We’ll see if they still taste fresh!
Hubby and I are both planning to do the cleanse for 5 days. I have never done a juice cleanse before, so I’m a little scared! LOL! The plan is to drink six 12 oz juices every two hours from the time we wake up until 2 hours before bed. Plus, we can drink one Wellness Shot and one Vitality Shot at any point of the day.
It is a juice-only cleanse. That being said, we are going to pay attention to how we feel and supplement as needed. Hubby likes to workout (harrrrd), so he might have to add in some protein to encourage muscle gain AND to have a normal amount of calories for a guy of his size. As for me, yesterday I felt like I might be developing a cold (or maybe it’s allergies–EVERYTHING is blooming here!) so I’m actually dealing with a scratchy throat and a headache. Same thing this morning. Kind of glad it started yesterday, or else I might be blaming the crappy feeling on the cleanse. It should be an interesting journey!
Stay tuned!
