My Juice Cleanse Diary: The Juice Press Inc.
My sister's Wedding day was coming up and seemed faster approaching than I thought. So, unfortunatly I felt unprepared about it all. To help, I turned to the newest juice bar in halifax called The Juice Press Inc. It is located at Bishops Landing and has a fun fresh look to it. It matches the fresh taste of their amazing selection of drinks made to order there. Its a family owned company and each member I have met are nice and friendly as well as super accommodating. They really care about their customers and you can tell are passionate about the business and your personal health goals. They use local, organic ingredients to make most of their drinks to maximize the health benefits. I turned to their 1 day juice cleanse in the pro strength (the least amount of natural sugars) to help me feel more on track 2 days before the wedding. It was great. It came packaged up in a milk crate like box with numbers on which to drink in what order. I liked the ease of it all, not having to think about it, which is where I seam to fail day to day. The juices included in this were as follows, taken from their site:1| Lemon Aid- Lemon, Maple Syrup, Cayenne, Filtered WaterWhile drinking plenty of water is essential, the lemon infuse in this juice is an immediate boost to your immune system. Along with being an excellent source of potassium - which improves heart and brain function - lemon aids in digestion by stimulating your liver to flush out all the toxins. The pectin fibre, along with the cayenne, helps stimulate the metabolism, promoting healthy weight loss. And I know many of you won't believe it, but it helps reduce your body's craving for caffeine. So if you can hold off on the cup of java until after your Lemon Bolt, come mid-afternoon you wont be reaching for the coffee pot.2| Skinny Green- Cucumber, Kale, Green Apple, Celery, Lemon, Lettuce, GingerThis juice is designed to kick start your day. Essential nutrients include potassium, - an important mineral that can lower blood pressure- fiber, magnesium and vitamin C. The celery aids lowering cholesterol, while the silica in the cucumber makes your skin glow throughout the day. The ginger naturally fires up the digestive system, while assisting your body's absorption of all the nutrients. The Skinny Green provides a morning cleanse along with that shot of energy to get you out the door feeling your best. 3| Silky Cashew- Cashews, Agave, Filtered WaterDid you know that cashews contain less fat than most other nuts? That's why we use it for our vegan dairy substitute. Cashews have a high copper content, which is important for energy production, and the promotion of healthy bones, joints and blood cell flexibility. The magnesium, alongside calcium, helps the with bone and muscle strength. It does all this while promoting healthy sleep patterns - which is why we usually promote the Silky Cashew as your last juice of the day.
There were definitely moments of hunger headaches and pains, but that is normal while on a cleanse. No tone of the drinks were hard to drink and even though they were mostly the same, I never became sick or bored of drinking them.I highly recommend heading over and checking it out for yourself, whether you are a bride wanting to slim down and feel glowing on your wedding day, or just need a bit of a kickstart into a healthier lifestyle, these guys have your back, and bum, in mind.Yum Yum YumKatie Rose xo
