9 of my Favorite Juice Recipes
Could a juice cleanse be just what you’ve been looking for?
We still have the majority of August, but there’s no denying that summer will be coming to a close before we know it! As great as the snack-filled beach days and sugary cocktails by the water are during the summer months, they have a habit of catching up to us quickly. If you’re looking for a way to get back on track, a juice cleanse might be just what you need to transition back into fall. In fact, many of my clients often use a juice cleanse as a way to “kick-start” their way into a healthier lifestyle.
To start, I recommend a 3-day juice cleanse for my clients who are new to the world of juicing. This 3-day mark is the perfect amount of time to help individuals in overcoming dependencies on processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fats. Not only will the juices reduce the stress on your digestive system, but they will also provide your body with a boost of hydration and plant micronutrients.
A common misconception my clients have is that the juices will be bland or boring, but I’ve compiled some of my favorite recipes – all delicious and packed with everything you’ve been missing to detoxify your body! Between Strawberry Alfalfa, Lemon Drop, and Gallbladder Bliss you’ll have a hard time choosing a favorite. Bookmark these full recipes for when you’re ready to try a cleanse!

We’ll leave you with two final tips!
- Amounts of each ingredient can vary to taste, preference and ounces you’re trying to make. Add cucumber to make more liquid or cut strong flavors with water or coconut water.
- If you live with a loved one or have a friend you believe could benefit from the cleanse, accountability partners are always helpful and encouraged!
Please note, I do not recommend a juice cleanse to clients with unstable blood sugar, a candida infection, or those who do not consider themselves to follow a well-nourished diet. If you’re not sure if you fall into one of these categories, feel free to reach out to learn more – I’d love to hear from you!
