Get Juicy!

The A to Z on the juice cleanse trend.


Media have been abuzz the past few years about juice cleanses as the go-to way to incorporate healthier eating habits. Amid the hype you’re bound to have questions about it all.

What is a juice cleanse?
As the name suggests, the juice cleanse is a detoxifying diet that comprises entirely of raw vegetable and fruit juices. Vegetables and fruits that are rich in nutrients and provide a variety of health benefits are juiced and consumed directly.

Examples of some vegetables and fruits that can be juiced include:

Is it for me?
Food today can be overloaded with toxins, pesticides, additives, saturated fats, allergens and more, all of which will take a heavy toll on your diet and life. Mix in caffeine consumption, poor sleeping habits and overeating and things just get worse.

If you feel bloated, lethargic, craving junk food and caffeine all the time, or having skin breakouts, this cleanse might just be the right way to “jump-start” into a healthier lifestyle. Consuming a nutrient-dense, plant-based juice diet allows the digestive system to detox and repair itself.

However, we highly recommend you consult your doctor and dietician before you begin a cleanse and limit the detox for only three days at a time.

How do I start?
It’s best to consume the entire fruit or vegetable— the core, rind, pulp and seeds— as they are high in fiber. Most fruits and vegetables can be juiced in your blender or juicer, and the end result is best consumed fresh on the day that it’s made.

Is it in town?
If the thought of juicing is too tedious, don’t worry— we’ve found the best all-natural juice bars around! At the Green Fix, you can order revitalizing fresh juices in delicious flavors like The Hulk (apple, spinach, cucumber, celery, lemon and ginger) or Smooth Almonds (cinnamon, almonds and dates).
