A minimum of once a quarter and as frequently as once per month, I go on a three-to-five-day juice cleanse. Of the multitude of cleanses that I have tried over the years (including all the big names), the Jus by Julie juices are my favorite (especially any of the green varieties). They are fresh, delicious and apparently delivered by elves in the wee hours of the morning. A great day is one on which a lovely green insulated Julie's bag with my juices magically appears on my front porch before work, and a sad day is one when I consume my final bottle. How often have you undertaken a cleanse and been disappointed that it was over?
For my two most recent cleanses, I ordered booster shots. They did not particularly impress me (the lemon, for example, tasted like reconstituted lemon juice) and unless they are a freebie with one of Julie's deals, I will not re-order them.
I like these cleanses. Took advantage of a Groupon, and got two 3 day cleanses sent over.
I love the idea of drinking of fruits and greens, because it's so fast, easy, and healthy to grab and go. And it takes the work out of preparing breakfast or debating what to eat when I wake up (which happens way too often).
Unexpectedly, I wasn't too hungry on day 1. Those juices are surprisingly filling, and even while I did errands and worked out, I didn't feel drained, exhausted, or hangry. The other days, I used the drinks as either supplements to my meals or replacements/snacks, considering the calorie count wasn't too high.
Most of the drinks are pretty good in terms of flavor:
1. Sweet Spin — A good way to get your greens in, and you don't taste it because of the sweetness from the pineapples
2. Spicy Lemonade/Pomegranate — delicious and sweet, and then there is a nice kick/burn at the back of your throat once you're done. A real pick me up!
3. Dr. Green — OMG, the worst tasting one, because of all that ginger. All it is a mouthful of ginger, and unfortunately, after the first day I couldn't stomach it any longer.
4. Chia Berry/Acai Blend — LOVE this one! So delicious, especially with the strawberry flavor.
5. Choco-Nana/Matcha Chia/PB JUS/Coconut Island — I haven't had any Choco-nana, and I wish I did because it sounds so good. The Matcha Chia was interesting, but the cinnamon was too strong. The PB and Jus REALLY did taste like a peanut butter sandwich, with a sweet, fruit tangy taste that lingered after the first sip. The coconut tasted like a thick, creamy coconut milkshake. Not bad, but coconut wasn't my favorite flavor in general, but if you are looking for a thick treat, and like coconuts, this is for you!
6. Xtreme Greens — More or less the same as Sweet Spin. Definitely interchangeable.
I didn't lose any weight from this, but I wasn't doing it for weight loss. I couldn't last without ANY food at all, maybe it's a mental thing. I will say that I did feel lighter overall, so maybe it was because everything was so clean and natural, that I was just less bloated. If anything, it felt great knowing I was doing something healthy for myself!
So I'm starting this review on the day I received my juices. 6/16… I ordered 6 days worth of juices. Some of them were slightly frozen. The rest were cold but thawed. I'm not starting until tomorrow 6/17 so I stuck them all in the freezer and will take 3 days worth of juices out tonight to start tomorrow.
I thoroughly read EVERYTHING and it said to thaw juices the night before so I'm going to put 3 days worth of juices in the fridge tonight if they're slightly frozen or leave them out on the counter in the kitchen overnight if they're completely frozen. I'm a little nervous considering they weren't all frozen. Something is telling me that having these shipped from afar is no Bueno but we'll see.
Day 1: I'm SO craving something salty and fatty. Dr. Green sucks and and the X-treme Greens was horrendous as well. I switched #'s 5 & 6 juices because I'd rather end my day with something tasty rather than nasty… HEALTHY! but nasty.
Day 2: Still craving something salty, but I'm pushing through. I like that there were a couple drinks that were different, but ugh… I had to suffer through those two nasty ones again.
Day 3: I lost 5.8 lbs. Yay! I took once set of juices out to thaw and put back in the fridge at the end of the day. No longer craving fatty foods. Feeling pretty good and energized.
Day 4 hits and I'm thinking: "Damn, I got another 2 days before I can chew." The struggle is REAL folks!
Day 5: Middle of the day, I'm exhausted. My daughter woke up at 4:30 AM and went back to sleep after an hour. After that there was no point in going back to sleep. This folks was probably the beginning of the end. In the middle of the day I decided, "Eff it! I'm not drinking Dr. Green." I skipped to #4 (Chia Berry) and decided, I'll eat a small meal of veggies and protein and drink #5 and call it a day.
Day 6: I ate a couple hard boiled eggs in the morning and drank the juices intermittently throughout the day and had a protein and veggie dinner with a juice to finish the "fast". I guess at this point it's not a fast. But hey! I went 4 days (with a couple days of 2 hard boiled egg whites with pepper in at night or in the morning)… that's pretty damn good!
After 6 days (incorporating a little food) I lost a total of: 6.4 lbs.
Moral of the story… I'll do a 3 day fast twice a month but will never EVER combine the days again. NEVER! In the meantime, we have a Vitamix, so I'm scoping recipes on Pinterest to make up concoctions during the weekend for the week to work it and will include one very small healthy breakfast and one small healthy dinner. That should do the trick.
The juices turned out okay. I'm sure I can credit Jus by Julie as well as the postal service.
This is a good fast, but I would recommend only doing 3 days or less
This is my first experience with a cleanse…and I'm still alive! LOL. Day 3 and I just started to get a little "hangry." But, drank some more water and I'm all good. I actually feel really good also, no nausea, no tiredness, just GOOD. The flavors are all tasty. The Coconut #5 is exceptionally good. My least favorite is Morning Glory, #1. It is not glorious, at all, but I know it's good for my body, so I choke it down. Shipped well, very good communication and customer service and came with 3 pamphlets that break it all down for you. I also got the bonus booster shots. I don't know if those have helped, because I've done them throughout the program. I will be doing this again. Bottom line: affordable, healthy, good customer service, and overall, tastes really good.
I cannot tell you how much I love Jus By Julie. I am currently on my 3rd juice cleanse and they just keep getting better every time I order. Shipments come right when expected and in perfect condition as they have always been frozen upon arrival. Juice all tastes great (although, some are easier to get down than others Dr. Greens v. Island Coconut) and are extremely fresh.
Over the years I have tried numerous juice cleanses and I always come back to Jus By Julie. I highly recommend to those new to juicing or old pros. I am also looking forward to trying their new soups, they look amazing a great way to begin incorporating actual food after completing a cleanse!
I've tried other juice cleanses before but this one is the best by far. the difference? the fiber! Or pulp! Whatever you call it, it is amazing! I had so much energy with this cleanse, even with 2 hours of my usual workout at the gym. I loved the way they tasted. My favorite was the pb & jus. I usually am not a huge fan of peanut butter, but this tasted just like a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. I wasn't hungry at all and even lost a few pounds. My skin was glowing and people asked me what I was doing differently – the 3 day classic jus cleanse!
I have been a big fan of Jus by Julie for few years now. When I first discovered Jus by Julie, their product sounded really good, both in quality and variety, and also it sounded really delicious. So I decided to give them a try. Ever since, I have been getting their juice package at least once a year. Last year, I let my husband to taste one, and he was really surprised how tasty it was, and asked me to order the cleanse for him also the next time. So, now we do the cleanse together!
You get 6 bottles per day, which could be more than enough, or not enough depends on the person. It is usually too many bottles for me, so I will have 1-2 leftover bottles which I use later to extend my cleanse. This means that you are not starving your self, but it is really, quite filling!
After the cleanse, I sleep better, and with less bad things inside my body, I feel lighter. I really can tell the difference before and after the cleanse with the way I feel, and I have more energy afterwards. Some people say my skin looks better during and after the cleanse. The hard part is to keep eating healthy after the cleanse… But hey, when I get too away from the healthy lifestyle, I can always re-set my self,with Jus by Julie to push me gently to the right path! Read my full review of the cleanse with Jus by Julie on my blog, foodlovergirl.
Wow!!! I received a groupon and after reading online Google reviews, I decided to purchase the 5 day juice cleanse. If you compare prices to other juicing products, this one is definitely pricier, however, from what others have stated (and I absolutely agree), the taste is fantastic!
I have had a Vitamix in the past and the consistency is similar. You have to be ok with various textures (from chia seeds, to ground up lettuce and celery), but if you can get past textures and love fresh fruits and veggies, you will be extremely happy.
You get 6 -16 oz drinks to drink through out the day. 3 meals and 3 snacks. The juices are very filling and I never felt hungry. There were 3 green based drinks, a spicy fruit drink, a chia fruit drink and a dessert type drink. The bottles are all numbered so you know what order to drink every thing. You even get a freezer bag to take your drinks I the go.
I recommend double checking with your physician before doing a fast, but if you get the green light, this is the way to go!
