Stay Juicin'

One of the most recent eating trends that I have seen people blogging about has been juice cleanses. It took me a while to get an understanding of what exactly juicing was, and how it was different than previous trends of temporary weight loss / detox. To my understanding, most people don't do this to lose weight - its mostly considered to be a "feel better" kind of harmony where after a prolonged period of eating not as healthy as usual - this cleanse can kind of be your starting point to getting back into your healthy eating habits. Commonly used around the holiday time, I can see how this easily became a summer trend with hundreds of different cleanse recipes available online with multiple different styles, lengths and prices coming from different brands.

You can't judge a book by its cover so after a solid amount of research, I found a juice cleanse that I was interested in giving a try. For my first cleanse (hopefully not my last!) I am trying the Suja Original Fresh Start. It was one of the more convenient ones for me considering the price and the ability to pick it up at my local Whole Foods rather than getting it shipped to my apartment. The cost was definitely a huge factor for me as shipping was almost the same price as the juices themselves...
There are 6 juices per day that seem to be filled with different fruits, vegetables and other things such as nuts and coconut flakes.

As nervous as I am, I am just as excited to give this cleanse a shot. I hope that cleansing lives up to all that I have heard from it, and I hope that I made the right decision with the brand that I went with. If all goes well, I hope to juice once a month just to remind my body that these things are the essentials.  After I complete the juice, I'll let you guys know how it went!
