By then, I’ll have some experience and a comparison. I’m looking forward to trying The Ripe Stuff cleanse as well. I decided to try BP first since it’s available nationwide to my readers. The same day, BluePrint asked if I wanted to try their program. She gave me a few samples and I loved them, especially her Sangria, which is a beet and carrot juice. She told me about why she wanted to start her own business and had me convinced to give a 3-day cleanse a try. Then, I met Rebekah in Boston who owns The Ripe Stuff, a Boston based juice cleanse company. I know I love sweets and wine but forever denying myself of them is not an option and I was curious if a juice cleanse could allow me to “cheat” but keep my good habits from disappearing. It took weeks of dedication and discipline. While getting ready for my LA shoot, I felt great and didn’t crave junk food. I reached out to BluePrint to get details about what a full cleanse entailed. I discovered how much I enjoyed juices courtesy of Earth Bar. I was actually against cleanses prior to my visit to Los Angeles. Leading up to yesterday, I had only experienced drinking juice as a breakfast or snack replacement. You are also encouraged to drink water and green tea throughout the day. If you are really hungry you may eat 1/4 of an avocado, celery, or vegetable broth. The others are P.A.M (pineapple, apple and mint), Spicy Lemonade, and Cashew Milk. It consists of 6 juices, 3 green and 3 others. I am doing a 3 day cleanse with BluePrint. Already, I’ve been getting a ton of questions and requests. I figured it was something that I could throw in a juice anyway if I really wanted to, and the last thing I wanted was more celery and cucumber.If you follow me on Instagram then you already know I am on day two of the BluePrint Cleanse. I decided since I was a first-timer, I would treat myself to a half of an avocado. I knew it was just something I had to wait out like a food craving, but the hunger was lasting much longer than the day before, and the Green Juice just wasn’t cutting it.īluePrint does have a “cheat sheet” on their website with celery, cucumber, avocado, and black coffee. The good thing about doing these at home, and maybe it was because I was making smoothies and not juices, was that I had a lot of leftover juice every time I followed the recipe, so I’d just stick the juices in the fridge for later.Īround the same time as yesterday, between the Spicy Lemonade and the second Green Juice, I became hangry again. Besides dreading the preparation, I drank my green juice happily as I watched the morning news. I woke up not starving and actually feeling good about myself. I was honestly a little nervous it wouldn’t yield the same results, but figured not eating anything except for ground up kale, celery, and beets couldn’t hurt. The only real difference between my DIY cleanse and BluePrint’s was that I had a blender and there was no way to create a “cold-pressed juice” out of my ingredients. BluePrint’s 3-day cleanse costs $195.00 I got all of the groceries I needed from Trader Joe’s for $35, and they lasted me for the entire 3 days with some to spare. I decided I wanted to try BluePrint’s Renovation Cleanse program and found copycat recipes for all the juices they offer online. Being the broke college student that I am, I decided I would do the 3-day juice cleanse by making them myself. However, I also found that 3-day juice cleanse programs run anywhere from $140–$200. Also, since the cleanses claim to supplement your body with all the nutrition it really needs, it seemed like a moderately healthy option compared to some others (yes, I did consider the taco cleanse). Most of us have heard of the juice cleanse trend by now and, after some Googling, I found a girl who did it and lost three pounds in three days, which seemed acceptable by my standards.
