Hi friends! I feel like I haven’t posted in forever, but I’m back! Ever since I started IIN Nutrition School, I have been curious to try different diets, recipes and on that list was also a juice cleanse. I have tried juices and even made my own, but I had never drank only juice for any designated period of time. There are a few reasons why – it can be expensive and it sounds hard! I finally took the jump and I’m here to tell you all about it. Follow along on my Instagram!
The Cleanse
The cleanse I chose was a 3-day cleanse with Raw Generation Juices. They offer 3, 5 and 7 day cleanses of either a Skinny Cleanse or a Protein Cleanse. I did the skinny cleanse, which comes with 18 bottles – 6 bottles per day. Raw Generation uses only plant-based ingredients and never pasteurize the juices. All blends are made with 100% raw juices – giving your body the maximum nutrition it needs. What I love about it is that the package comes straight to your door. The juices come frozen and need 24 hours to thaw.
My Experience
I loved the experience overall. Living in South Florida in 90 degree weather wasn’t ideal because I spend my my mornings outside at the barn and I sweat a lot. The first day was easier than I thought. The juices all tasted so good (I was worried about that) and I would drink all of them again. The information sheet said that if you need a crunch or feel like you need something of substance, you can have nuts or raw vegetables. I did take advantage of that at the end of the second day. The night of the second day was the hardest for me. Even just a few nuts did help though.
How I Felt
Overall, I felt good. I felt refreshed and I woke up feeling ready for the day. I have a poor digestive system and frequently wake up in the morning feeling bloated but I did not feel that during the cleanse. I felt lighter in a sense. I did start to feel a little weak at one point but nothing major. One of the important things to remember during a cleanse is to drink a lot of water, which is something I struggle with.
What I Would Do Differently Next Time
If I were to do another juice cleanse, I would really try to drink more water. I feel that it would have better prepared me and I would have been able to fully embrace the cleanse. I like the 3-day length of it and for my lifestyle, I think it was just enough.
I highly recommend Raw Generation Juices if you are looking to try a juice cleanse. They are affordable, friendly and delicious. If you have any questions about the cleanse, send me an email and I’d love to chat with you.
I’ve always wanted to give a juice cleanse. I’m gonna give this a try, sounds like it might work for me!
I’ve been searching for a short cleanse, the 3-day raw sounds perfect! Will definitely check it out!
I used to do a gentle cleanse a few times a year but have been slacking lately!! This gives me inspo to start again an actually looks pretty delicious!
I did a juice cleanse for the first time last year and loved it 🙂 It’s easier if it’s 90 degrees out – you don’t crave warm meals as much 😉
The apple spinach kale collards would be my fave I bet. I wouldn’t mind doing a juice cleanse.
sounds nice! I love cleansing and detoxing on regular basis, it is important to make your body feel better
Hmm never actually tried a juice cleanse but maybe I should start! Thanks for sharing!
It is good practice to cleanse your body every once in a while. I haven’t tried juice cleanses myself but it was nice reading about your experience.

I have been wanting to do a juice cleanse so thanks for the tip about drinking more water!
I have also thought about doing a juice cleanse, but never have for some reason or another. It sounds like this one might be good to try if I ever decide to go ahead and do one.
I have never done and with how much my BFF raves about them, I am finally looking into them. Will check back once I do
