Juicing cleanse people?

[amberlyrose]

Didn't someone post about a juicing cleanse that you order online and deliver?

[daisybuchannan]

There are a ton of them out there if you google. Are you looking for a specific company?

No. I just remember someone posting a link once.

My mom's doctor said she needs to get more water and veggies into her diet and suggested adding juicing. She doesn't want to buy a juicer, so I figured she could just order it instead.

I think juice cleanses are a waste of time (and money), honestly. Why can't she just add a few extra servings of veggies and drink more water? When you juice, you also lose the bulk of the fruit or veggie, so it doesn't fill you like it would eating it. The word "cleanse" also indicates there's something dirty that you need to clean from your body, which really isn't the case.

You're welcome for my opinion, I know you didn't ask

She just doesn't eat a lot of veggies. She doesn't need it for the 'cleanse' part, just to get more in. I'm not going to battle my mother on drinking more water or eating her vegetables. But I'd rather her do something like this than not get the nutrients her doctor asked her to.

Does it have to be delivered?

If not, what about Odwalla smoothies or something similar? www.odwalla.com/good-products

[daisybuchannan]

In that case, tell her to get some juices that have veggies in them.

Juice cleanses are really expensive (ie- rip off).

Why do you have to battle her on this?

I did one and loved it. DH did it with me, and a bunch of my coworkers have done them too. I used it after I had a bout of not so great eating + lots of drinking, and felt so much better afterwards (then transitioned back to my normal way of eating which is paleoish).

I did a local one in Seattle, but my friend likes the Blueprint Cleanse, and in socal I really like the juice from www.ritualcleanse.com/ and www.nekterjuicebar.com/ (both also deliver).

If I told her to eat more veggies and drink water, she'd see it as me personally attacking her and not helping her. I'm not gonna even go down that way.

Blueprint is the one someone was talking about here awhile back. I'll suggest that one too.

The Bolthouse farms juices are pretty good. This is gonna sound odd but what about like the squeeze applesauces? Trader Joes has some that are mixed with carrots or banana so she would be getting two fruits or a fruit and veggie. Tell me I'm stupid lol but its just a thought.

She lives in BFE, so basically just Wal Mart for her. She can get Bolthouse so I'm gonna suggest that.

Not a "cleanse" but super easy and delicious, I just make this in my blender and add some frozen pineapple and strawberries at the end to sweeten it up. It's very tasty and lasts in the fridge for 2 days.
