Discover juicing solutions to stay on track with your juice cleanse goals.
“If I were to cut corners on a juice cleanse, what would be the least detrimental way to do it?” If you're thinking this during your cleanse, don't worry you are not alone. This is one of the most common questions running through the mind of any first-time juicer (sometimes even the experienced ones).
The good news is that there's a way to bend the rules while maintaining the benefits of a juice cleanse. If you find yourself needing some a little extra, don't beat yourself up. Depending on your level of juicing experience, health, and self-discipline, sometimes a little wiggle room is what it takes to make it to the finish line.
During the cleanse, it is best to avoid solid foods if you can. Nevertheless, if you require an additional pick-me-up, we recommend raw/steamed vegetables for a nourishing experience, a smoothie or a vegetable broth.
Remember there is no right or wrong way to cleanse, just try and drink in all the healthy goodness and please listen to your body and keep hydrated.
Top 3 hack to help during a juice cleanse....
The ultimate goal of a juice cleanse is to promote a digestive reset by disrupting the flow of your regular dietary habits. However, if you need to a little pick me up, select an option from the below if possible, then resume your cleanse as scheduled. These nutrient-rich suggestions are easy to digest and will continue to support a juice cleanse's system reset process, try and make them organic if possible:
Vegetable Or Bone Broth
Homemade broth is the ideal food to cheat with while on a juice cleanse because it closely resembles the nature of juice. It’s full of vitamins and minerals that support your overall health and is easy to digest. Broth can satiate better than juice, keeping you fuller for longer while continuing to support the system renewal process of your cleanse.
Smoothies
Our smoothie blends are packed with essential nutrients and are a great alternative to juice. Smoothies provide a similar nutrient profile to juice, making it a great cheat option during your cleanse.
*Tip: If you want to indulge in smoothies during your cleanse, our organic reboot cleanse would be ideal for you. A gentle cleanse with a wide variety of flavours & nutrients – a balanced combination of nutrient-packed greens & energising organic juices, a morning ginger shot plus a late morning or breakfast smoothie to help with those hunger pangs.
Vegetable Purees/Soups
Vegetable purees are the closest thing to solid food that can be used as a “cheat” while juice cleansing. Healthy soups are still easy for the body to digest without greatly hindering the cleansing process, and they provide bioavailable nutrients for healing. Simply steam vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, or celery root, and blend with a few tablespoons of filtered water or homemade broth to thin. Season with sea salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, but avoid using dairy or soy as these are allergens and interfere with the cleansing process.
Juice Cleanse Benefits?
Completing a juice cleanse is a mark of resilience and strength. Juice cleanse benefits range from resetting your digestion for a system renewal to combatting lingering brain fog and lethargy. Although results vary from person to person, the universal takeaway of completing a cleanse is the feel-good sensation you're left with. While juicing can be challenging for some, bending the rules during your first few cleanses is acceptable as you navigate normalising your wellness routine.
