![]() ![]() My skin is clear and glow-y, I sleep better, and I drop an average of about 7lbs-most of which is water weight, but which actually stays off! I really look at it as a great way to cleanse my system and get a great head start on eating (slightly) better. For a girl who always orders dessert, I love that the BluePrint Cleanse comes with that extra bit of sweetness!Įach time I've done the BPC, I finished off my week feeling refreshed and full of energy. The drink is creamy, sweet, and comforting, with yummy hints of cinnamon and vanilla. It's actually what inspired my homemade pecan milk, because I wanted to be able to cap my evenings off with it all the time. I look forward to this one all day and relish drinking it. ![]() The final drink, the Cashew milk, is my favorite(!!!). ![]() The spicy lemonade (those of you who have attempted that horrid "Master Cleanse" or "Lemonade Diet" will probably already have an idea of how this tastes) is amazing! The cayenne gives it a little kick (I'm all for heat in my beverages!) and it makes for a great afternoon snack.It helps to pour it over ice and add lots of lemon juice. This seemed to be the case in other reviews that I read so I urge you to give it a chance when you first try it. Note that the first time I tried the green juice, I actually *didn't* love it but with my second and third bottles this went away and now I actually crave it. I actually like to add some lemon juice to it to cut the sweetness a bit. The green juice is sweet with just a little hint of herbal undertones.The best part of it is that the juices actually taste good! ![]() They also mention that it's OK to nosh on a few pieces of seaweed, and I found that a handful of kale chips on the first couple days also helped make it easier. The cheats are yummy: a 1/4 of an avocado, a few sticks of celery, some warm vegetable broth (I like to kick up that last one by slicing in some garlic and ginger and letting them simmer-it makes for a spicy and satisfying detox soup). There were even some times when I had to force the juices down because I was so full.īPC also (wisely) includes a "Cheat Sheet" with acceptable snacks or foods that you can safely incorporate without negating the effect of the cleanse. It's a somewhat terrifying prospect for someone who loves to eat (and a lot, at that!), but the truth is that the juices really do keep you sated throughout the day. The juices are meant to be consumed about an hour or two apart in lieu of any other food. Since I did the Excavation (or the "strictest") cleanse, the juices were Green Juice (a mix of Apple, Kale, Romaine, Celery, Parsley, Cucumber, and Spinach), Spicy Lemonade (Lemonade made with agave and a hint of cayenne), and Cashew Nut Milk (Cashews, filtered water, vanilla, cinnamon). Inside each were six numbered bottles containing a selection of three different juices. The night before I started, a delivery man showed up at my door with three cute little cooler bags. I love it so much, I've already done it three times, and am already plotting my fourth. My favorite is The BluePrint Cleanse, a raw vegan juice cleanse that is prepared fresh and delivered to your door in conveniently numbered bottles. Because of this, it may surprise you to know that a few times a year (usually around the start of a new season) I like to take a few days off from the indulgence in order to cleanse and refresh my body and digestive system. If you've spent any amount of time poking around this blog, you've probably already realized that I have a penchant for lush and decadent meals capped off with a bit of sweetness. This past Saturday, I completed six days on The BluePrint Cleanse, a juice detox program that has seriously captured my heart. ![]()
