CAN I EAT ON THIS CLEANSE?
Yes, we provide a list of cleanse-approved fruits, veggies, and high protein ingredients that can be included if you feel you need more than this cleanse provides. However, if you drink all six of the 12 fl oz bottles each day, you’ll likely find that you are quite satisfied. In fact, the protein shakes are caloric enough to be full meal replacements on their own and are even best sellers in the Build-a-Box, as many customers use them regularly to replace meals post-cleanse.
CAN I DRINK COFFEE DURING MY CLEANSE?
Yes! We would never ask you to give up your coffee, however there are a few adjustments we recommend so it doesn’t interfere with your cleanse results. Drink your coffee black or with a low-fat plant milk, like oat milk. Replace sugar with honey.
HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY RESULTS AFTER MY CLEANSE?
The best way to maintain results and avoid weight gain post-cleanse is with The Protein Method™, a nutritionist-designed weekly system to help you get strong and lean. Keep off the weight after a cleanse and then continue to lose an additional 2-3 pounds per week* while building lean muscle.

WHY AREN’T THESE FLAVORS LOW-CALORIE and LOW SUGAR?
Low calorie foods don’t necessarily lead to weight loss.
Our in-house nutritionist believes that low-calorie, low carb fad diets do not lead to successful weight loss or weight management long-term. Any restrictive diets almost always lead to failure.
True health and real weight loss are not about counting calories, tracking fat grams, or limiting sugar intake. It’s about choosing options with the right ingredients.
That being said, the weight loss juices and plant-based protein smoothies in this cleanse were not designed to be low in calories, carbs, or natural fruit sugars. They provide your body with what it needs to thrive in the healthiest form possible to be able to support your workouts and get sustainable weight loss.
WHY ARE THE JUICES AND SMOOTHIES FROZEN?
We immediately flash-freeze all cold-pressed juices and smoothies. This is the only way to lock in the fresh flavor, raw nutrients, and enzymes, while still being able to deliver them to your door.
Shipping juices frozen makes it super convenient for you. There’s no hefty prep time or messy clean-up. No juicer or blender is necessary for you to enjoy these juice recipes. All you have to do is thaw, sip, and experience the health benefits.
Plus, if life gets in the way and you have to pause your cleanse, nothing goes to waste. The remaining bottles can stay in the freezer until you can start again.
WHAT IS THE STANDARD AMERICAN DIET? WHY IS IT UNHEALTHY & HOW DO I AVOID IT?
WHAT IS IT? The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with ultra-processed foods. If you go into any grocery store- even the ones that say they offer healthier options- the aisles are filled with foods that contain artificial ingredients, sweeteners, chemicals, dyes, flavorings, and preservatives. The foods with health claims are oftentimes the biggest offenders.
WHY IS IT UNHEALTHY? Ultra-processed foods are hard on the digestive system, causing inflammation, constipation, weight gain, and dangerous belly fat. They destroy your immune system. More seriously, these “foods” can cause disease or worsen conditions like autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and cancer.
Our bodies are not designed to eat man-made chemicals, flavors, or additives.
HOW DO I AVOID THE SAD DIET? Avoid processed carbs, processed sugar, refined seed oils, preservatives, conventional dairy, and alcohol as much as possible.
While grass-fed and organic dairy can be incorporated into a healthy diet, it is weight-promoting and inflammatory for many people. This is why we recommend avoiding it most of the time.
Try to pack each meal with as many whole fruits and/or vegetables as you can - the more fresh and raw, the better! Incorporate cold-pressed green juices and plant-based smoothies daily for concentrated nutrition.
Despite what many healthcare professionals say, never limit servings of healthy carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables (including potatoes).
