But this problem was almost completely rid of with a few Advil and/or naps here and there.īe sure to plan out (roughly) when you will drink each juice during the day so that you don’t finish too early or forget to drink some of the juices. This probably comes with the territory of not eating solid food for three days, but it was still irritating… haha. My other complaint with the cleanse would have to be that I got quite a few headaches. If you do decide to cleanse and work out, be careful and make sure you have a juice before and after the workout! I felt reaaaaaally out of it during/after these workouts since I stupidly did them at full pressure with nothing in my system. You’re not technically encouraged to work out while cleansing (since you’re basically consuming under 1,000 calories and no solid food), but I didn’t listen to this rule and biked 22 miles the first day, and ran 3.5 one of the others (one of the days I took off). The most difficult parts for me were the constant headaches, dizziness and lightheadedness after exercising on the cleanse, and spacing out drinking the juices properly. I drank all six of the juices in order each day (except only about half of the cashew milk), and drank a lot of water to help keep my mind off of the fact that I wouldn’t be eating solid food for a few days. I didn’t find the cleanse overall too difficult. Come start time for the cleanse, it made me a lot less hungry than if I had feasted prior to juicing. This meant less frequent snacks and more salads. Before I started the three-day program, I ate a bit lighter for two days. There are myriad ways in which you can approach a BluePrint cleanse - there are instructions on the website for what you’re ‘supposed’ to do before and after a cleanse, and so on and so forth. Make sure to keep the BluePrint juices refrigerated! The packet in the shipment read “like you, our juice is best chilled” - haha. As gross as it may sound to drink beet juice, from a blind taste test it would definitely taste more like a sweet fruit-type drink. The beet juice is called “ Red“, and is made of beets, apples, carrots, lemon, and ginger. It was okay, with sweet flavor and thick consistency, but I found it to be a bit too sweet and “heavy” after a few sips.Īlthough outside of the Foundation cleanse, BluePrint’s beet juice is probably tied for my favorite with the pineapple. I, however, did not LOVE the cashew milk. White Juice – From the reviews of the cleanse that I had read online before starting the cleanse, the white juice (“cashew milk” – made with cashews, vanilla, cinnamon, and agave) was supposed to be the “treat” at the end of the day and great-tasting. I actually prefer the green juice, but many who try the Blueprint cleanse like the lemonade better. It took some getting used to with the hint of spice - but the sweet flavors are quite appealing. Yellow Juice – Made of lemon, cayenne, and agave, this juice is a “spicy lemonade”. I like drinking it with salads and other meals occasionally outside of the cleanse. Made of pineapple, apple, and mint, it has a perfect sweet taste. It depends on your regular diet and food preferences as to whether this juice will appeal to you. However, some of my friends and relatives have tried it and hated it. I actually quite like the green juice, and I drink it regularly outside the cleanse. The juices in the Foundation cleanse were as follows: I ordered one of the three days of the cleanse online – and the juices came with numbers on them.Īlthough the green juice seemed the most daunting to me out of all of the juices (made of kale, apple, ginger, romaine, spinach, cucumber, etc.), I decided to go for the level two cleanse (Foundation).
