Even though winter storms are happening back to back, it’s almost hard to believe that before long it will be spring. La vie est grande when spring finally make its arrival. Then, you try on last year’s bathing suit. Oy vey! Instead of enlisting on Google’s expertise for the latest fad diet or burkini suppliers; reduce your appetite, jump start weight loss, increase mental focus, enhance hair and skin quality, improve digestion, relieve bloating, amp up your immune system, and detox with a juice cleanse and cold pressed juice delivery service.
Skinny Limits was founded in Austin, Texas by two avid juicers: Cary and Joanie Frieden. Many juicing companies claim that their juices are raw juices, but the truth is that there is little truth to their claims. Many of these companies have used the High Pressure Processing (HPP) method to extend the shelf life of their products. This in return kills all the living cells inside the juice, rendering it useless and ineffective. Cary and Joanie Frieden came up with a convenient and efficient solution to Juicing. Their juice line, Skinny Limits, is made of the freshest ingredients and never been pasteurized or processed. Their ingredients are also gluten-free. Unlike most “raw” juicing brands on the market, Skinny Limits’ ingredients are so fresh that they’re high perishable. Therefore, you must immediately cleanse the day after you receive your juice.
After your cleansing has been completed, be sure to check out their vast collection of raw vegan recipes. Some of my favorites are Raw Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Mushrooms, Raw Vegan Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cake, Raw Vegan Mocha Energy Bars, Raw Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake with Chocolate Sauce, and “Forever Young” Super-Antioxidant Black Currants Grape Juice.
Skinny Limits sent me the Standard Juice Cleanse. Their 3-day juice cleanse ($147) includes 18 16oz. bottles of five varieties of fruit/vegetable combinations – Pure & Simple (Green Juice): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, apple, and lemon; Balance (Green Ginger): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, apple, lemon, and ginger; Green Firefly: Kale, spinach, parsley, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, and pineapple; Scorpion Lemonade: Lemons, agave nectar, cayenne, and filtered water; and Crescent Moon: Raw cashews, vanilla bean, cinnamon, agave nectar, coconut oil, Himalayan sea salt, and filtered water.
It is recommended to drink a cup of hot water with lemon (and a pinch of cayenne for good measure) to jump start the cleanse. This wakes up the body and gets the system moving! Then, you follow up with the Pure & Simple juice. To avoid confusion, each bottle is numbered and color coded. You should have your next bottle 2-1/2 – 3 hours later and each subsequent juice every 2-1/2 to 3 hours, with your last one at least 2 hours before bed. Since you’re basically fasting, the sole purpose of a fast is to abstain from food.
Some find it a challenging experience to forgo food for a few days. Even though they rather you not cave since they want to reap the full benefits of the juice cleanse, you can eat a couple of stalks of celery, half of a cucumber, 1/4 of an avocado with this juice fast. You can also drink other “green” beverages or herbal teas other than water between takes.
I did a cleanse over the summer, with positive results. So another bout of a few days of eliminating food sounded like another easy feat for me. Much as I want to say it was three unforgettable days of euphoria, mental clarity, focus, boundless energy, and happiness; there were moments where I felt unusually bloated and backed up. I guess it was my body’s way of trying to get used to a cleansing period once again. I also felt like I had to choke down the Pure & Simple at times since the cucumber was strongly evident (I’m not much of a fan of cucumber in beverages.). Other than that, I had a positive experience. The Scorpion Lemonade reminded me of KeVita’s Daily Cleanse (Lemon Cayenne), which I buy quite often, and their Crescent Moon was the perfect ending for each day. The Crescent Moon was somewhat thick and creamy, with a delightful cinnamon and vanilla taste, and fulfilling (300 calories and 19g of fat). Even though weight loss isn’t the focal point of this juicing plan, the scale did tip downward.
Have you ever tried a cleanse?

I’ve never tried a juice cleanse but this sounds very interesting. I’m going to look into it some more, for sure!
I haven’t personally done a juice cleanse, but my husband juiced for 10 days last spring and it kick started his weight loss. To date, he’s lost over 50 pounds and is maintaining!
I have never done a cleanse but would really like too. This program would make it really easy for me.
I’ve never done a juice cleanse, but one of my best friends swears by them!
I’ve done detoxes before but not a cleanse … I don’t think I could do an all liquid thing … I like food!
I have never tried a cleanse, but I have been considering it lately. It is nice to know that a vegan option is available.
I’ve been considering doing this for once per month as I really need to start cutting back on unhealthy foods.
I’ve been wanting to do a juice cleanse for a while, but that price it way too high for me. Especially when I can go into GNC and get something for an eighth of the price, you know?
I have heard good things about juice cleanses. I have such a sensitive stomach, I can’t drink juices, they are to acidic and hurt my stomach horribly. I wish I could try this out, sounds interesting!
I did this cleanse too. I wish they sent it on time, because I wasn’t able to fully cleanse. I had two big events to go to and no way I could stay away from food.. but the flavors were really good and I think it’s something i could do in teh future.
So many people do this now and swear by it. I love the idea of being completely clean and free of toxins and whatnot.
I have never done a juice cleanse. This sounds so easy to do and is definitely something to consider.
I love juicing and detoxing. I am not so good at not eating food with it. I know if I did it that way I could drop a few pounds quick! Never tried this brand, would love too!
I would love to try something like this I wish I had it right now to get ready for my weekend away with my husband LOL.
The Crescent Moon sounds really good! I’m not sure if I’d be able to do a juice cleanse, I don’t have that kind of willpower!
I’ve been wanting to try a cleanse, it just seems like they are so expensive. One day, I will!
I’ve never done a cleanse but would like to. Regularity and acne are issues for me and I wonder if a cleanse would help.
I have never done a juice cleanse. I may just try this!
I did try a 3-step cleanse but I don’t think I did it right. Could be that it wasn’t suggested to start with the lemon/cayenne… Maybe I’ll have to check this system out.
The closest I have come to a cleanse is when I prepped for a colonoscopy.
I have debated trying a cleanse, but just haven’t been able to bring myself to do it. I wish I had a local shop like this that offered fresh cold-pressed juice… I have always heard that that is critical for it to be effective.
I’m afraid of juice cleanses. I’ve tried them in the past only to get very sick. When people talk about clarity and energy when they do juice cleanses I don’t know what they are talking about.
I’ve never done a juice cleanse but a lot of my friends have. My best friend even did one right before our cruise a few years ago and loved the results.
I’ve never done a cleanse. I’ve always either been pregnant or nursing but now that I’m not I really should do it.
A part of me would like to try a juice cleanse, but I truly love food and the whole process of eating. Not sure I could handle all liquids. 🙂
I’ve never done one but I’d like to try it..
I’ve seen this one at Whole Foods I think but was always afraid to try it. Something about giving up food for a couple days scares me sadly.

I really want to try a juice cleanse when I am all done nursing.

I don’t see me doing a cleanse anytime soon. Not knocking it, but I would go insane.

I have some friends that are vegan. I’ll be sure to tell them about this Skinny Limits 3 Day Vegan Juice Cleanse. I should probably try it, too!

I’ve though about trying a juice cleanse – and incorporating more juicing into my diet in general – but I just haven’t gotten around to it. The Cresecent Moon sounds delicious, almost like it could be a dessert!

I’ve thought about doing a cleanse but I really like chewing my food. Not sure I could just drink it.
