So if you follow me on twitter you know that I did an organic juice cleanse these past couple days. Actually 3 days. I still can't believe I did it for that long. I loooove food so much {and the cleanse confirmed that} but I've always been interested in trying one out. My best friend did The Master Cleanse in college which sounds terrible to me because it's basically lemon, cayenne and maple syrup. And that's what you drink aaaaalll day. Yuck! Still something about a cleanse sounded like a good idea, especially after all the bad/good eating I did in Vegas. I did some research and decided to try Ritual Cleanse which is an all organic juice cleanse. If you like green smoothies than you'll love this because three times a day you're drinking kale, romaine, celery, cucumber and green apple. There's also a delicious mango, pineapple drink, as well as a spicy lemonade, and an "horcata" drink as the last of the day with ground cashews, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and agave. Not so bad right? All in all I'm happy I did it- I think my body needed a little reset. I felt like I had a lot more energy and I was able to focus more, too. But boy oh boy did I miss chewing! haha it's the random things, right?
I contacted Ritual Cleanse and they so kindly offered to give away a 1-day Seasonal Reset Cleanse and 1-day Shred giveaway {geared towards those who like to work out}. If you're interested leave a comment and I'll pick the winner next Friday September 9th. Easy right? The hard part will be resisting those donuts and curly fries. Or maybe that was just me :)
I'm looking to a fun, food-filled 3 day weekend! What about you? How are you spending Labor Day?
xox
Oh and if you're interested in the Ritual Cleanse you can get 10% off with promo code "mlovesmreader" woo hoo!
UPDATE: The winner is..Alicia! Congrats :)

this looks like a yummy cleanse!
ReplyDeleteIve heard lots of mixed stuff about cleanses and be honest with me here. did it leave you in the toilet for days? because i totally dont have time for that lol
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great cleanse! Count me in for the drawing :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the 1-Day Shred Cleanse! I have a month of training left for my first marathon and I know this would help! I need to get back on track with eating more healthy foods.
ReplyDeleteSince the giveaway is for those who like working out, count me in. I just started going back to the gym on Monday after a three month break. Waking up at 5:00am to hit the treadmill is oh-so-rewarding!
ReplyDeleteOh! I'll try it. It's something I've always been curious about, but never COURAGEOUS enough! :)
ReplyDeletepick me, pick me!

ReplyDeleteoh my goodness.. you're much stronger than I! I tried the vegetarian thing once... lasted 3 months and I thought that was awful! But at least I had FOOD! oy..
ReplyDeletewww.ThePantryDrawer.com

ReplyDeletexo,
jessie
I just spent a food-luxurious weekend in Savannah and this is a perfect way to get back on track! Fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeletethis sound awesome! my husband and i watched a documentary called "fat, sick, and nearly dead" where a guy from australia goes on a juice cleanse. he actually did it for 60 days and made his own juices with a juicer (he went cross country, which made it even more interesting). the results were amazing! i've been wanting to try the cleanse, but i don't have a juicer, nor do i have the patience to juice every day. but i'd be interested to try something like this cleanse; i think you're on to something about giving your body a reset. very cool. congrats on the successful cleanse!
ReplyDeleteNever done a cleanse before, but it doesn't look so bad! Good job, way to go!

oh my gosh, I have been wanting to try this Ritual Cleanse for so long. I linger on their page always looking at the yummy juices they have. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh do I need a cleanse! After a week of roadtripping and eating in Seattle my body hates me!
ReplyDeleteoh, that sounds interesting :)
ReplyDeletesounds amazing. would LOVE to try.
ReplyDeletei love juicing at home and these sound like some tasty combo's that i'd love to try.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you did a cleanse! That sounds great though. To cleanse yourself from the inside out. I would love to do that...but I can't go without eating! I just can't. Maybe if the juices were REALLY good and REALLY worth it...
ReplyDeleteA cleanse would be awesome! I need something to kickstart eating well again. (you know, just in time for the Pumpkin-flavored everything that happens in the fall!)
ReplyDeleteyou make me want to try this!! a friend did this same one and loved it as well. Have a great weekend full of food! :)
ReplyDeleteI have considered trying one but always a little nervy! Would love to try it. Enjoy some yummy food this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI've heard nothing but good things about doing a cleanse! I'd love to try it myself.
ReplyDeleteI am curious...I would definitely would like to try it :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh man! I want to do a cleanse but I don't know if I could do it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely curious.. sounds interesting. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI've been so tempted to try a cleanse for the past few months, but I keep chickening out! I guess I could handle it if it only lasts 3 days.
ReplyDeleteMy roommate and I keep discussing doing a cleanse... maybe this is the answer to actually making us do it! I need a jump start!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a cleanse!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY NEED to do a cleanse!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to do this cleanse and boy would my body thank me for it.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't look too bad! I may have to look into it!
ReplyDeleteLove, Leigh

I would love to try this cleanse out! I was going to do the Master Cleanse, but it seemed way too hard core and not at all appetizing. I think if whatever you are consuming tastes good, it's much easier!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! You've got lots more willpower than I could ever have. I love food too much, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to try this cleanse!
ReplyDeleteOMg great giveaway, I've wanted to try this cleanse for so long but its really expensive, i would love to win this because i was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome which causes you to gain weight in the same areas as a guy ( round tummy like santa) plus a myriad of other problems. its been a devastating struggle to loose weight, I work out like crazy, eat right, cut carbs and take the pills my doc prescribes yet nothing works.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about the cleanse! I've been looking for a good one to try and would love to win!

ReplyDeleteStarting my last semester in college, as a 5th year senior and working at a new job...I feel like I am barley getting through the days. I think my body needs a reset button. A cleanse just might do the trick.

ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try a cleanse to do a healthy reset and begin to eliminate meat and processed food from my diet, but I've always been a little afraid to do it. Also, they are always a little too expensive for my teacher budget to handle. I would love to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try a juice cleanse forever now. Would be great before school starts!
ReplyDeleteoh how nice a little cleanse would be! And yours doesn't sound too bad either-I am going to look into it! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA cleanse would be such a great idea for me right now as I have falled off the healthy lifestyle wagon a little bit. This is exactly what I need.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds brilliant! I'm training for a half marathon followed by a full marathon... but I've been eating terribly which kind of ruins my workouts, so a cleanse sounds like an amazing idea! Backpacking through Iceland prepared me for not eating much, ha, so maybe I can do this =)
ReplyDeleteI would love to give this a shot! I feel like considering how much junk I eat sometimes, this would be great for me :)
ReplyDeletei would love to give this a try! seems like a good way to jumpstart healthier eating :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this cleanse! My husband and I are in a missionary training school and we don't even have the option to eat right! My body would love a little break!

ReplyDeleteWhen i was in massage therapy school(didn't finish, didn't like it), we learned acupressure and about the Taoist religion. Part of that was The Master Cleanse. We all tried it and didn't make it through the 3 days. This cleanse sounds so much better!!

ReplyDeleteHi Mara, I did thier one day cleanse and loved it. So much in fact that I want to give my girlfriend Kate a one day juice cleanse for her birthday! I did the same for other girlfriend Maureen and she too was thrilled. We all work out together about 5 days a week and so we included the pre and post shred--pure genius : ) Juice away!
ReplyDeleteok, they just sound delicious! but i'd really like to try this. here's hoping :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great cleanse. I tried the Master cleanse... and i think it went well. I did it for 5 days. I think I need to clean out my system again...
