During the 3-DAY DIY JUICE Cleanse 

If this is your first cleanse, we recommend finding activities that will fill your time such as yoga and light exercise. These activities are going to help keep your mind off of food (and snacking), while also making you active and getting you out of the house.

If you feel that you’re in need of a snack, any raw vegetables or raw cashews will be your best friend. If you feel that you need to break your cleanse for any reason, we recommend slowing integrating whole foods or superfoods into your diet and to staying away from anything processed. 

After the 3-DAY DIY JUICE Cleanse 

When you’re ending your DIY juice cleanse, you will want to slowly integrate solid foods back into your diet. You can do this by adding smoothies, eating watery fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe, etc.), and other soft foods (such as oatmeal) into your diet. When bringing food back into your diet, keep track of what you’re eating so you’re able to pinpoint any food intolerances that you may have. The most common food intolerances are dairy and gluten – pay special attention to these items.

Through this post-cleanse process, remember to hydrate by drinking lemon water, herbal tea, green juice, and more. Being mindful about what you’re putting into your body is going to help you be successful in the long run. If you feel that you’re getting off track, no worries! You can always redo your 3-day cleanse to get back on the right track – we’re all human after all!
