“I purchased the 5 day juice cleanse with the intention of doing a 3 day cleanse and then using the remaining two days of juices as meal replacements while I transitioned back to my regular eating routine.
First off, I lost 6 pounds in just 3 days! I was still able to attend Pilates classes and do 3 to 5 mile runs while on the cleanse. I also supplemented with plenty of raw vegetables, which helped keep me satisfied and made the cleanse much easier to stick with.
Once the 3 days were over, I continued drinking two juices a day, using them as meal and snack replacements. The cleanse really reminded me of the importance of incorporating more raw vegetables into my diet, cutting way back on oil when roasting vegetables, and being more mindful of how much of even the "healthy" fats I was consuming.
Despite working out regularly and quite rigorously, I had been struggling to lose weight. Looking back, I realized I was eating more healthy fats and carbohydrates than I actually needed, including things like healthy crackers and healthier breads. The cleanse also helped me break my nightly "just one bite of chocolate" habit, which had definitely become a bit of an addiction!
And, most importantly, the juices were all absolutely delicious. I genuinely looked forward to drinking them every day.
I cannot say enough positive things about this cleanse. If you're on the fence about trying it, trust your gut and go for it! I was amazed by how quickly I saw results. It's now been one week since I finished the cleanse, and I've been maintaining a steady weight of 123 pounds, which I am very happy about.
Thank you, Jess and Raw Generation, for creating such a delicious and effective cleanse!”
“I was not able to finish the cleanse as the juices consisted mainly of sugary fruit juice (close to 150g of sugar on 1 day!) and they just made me feel sick.”
Hi there! 100% of our sugar is naturally occurring from the raw fruit and vegetable juices, nuts, seeds, and spices. We never use added or refined sweeteners. It's a common misunderstanding that because refined sugars are unhealthy, the same must apply to the naturally occurring sugars found in fruits and vegetables, and this is untrue. Because we do not pasteurize or HPP our juices, all of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are available for your body to easily absorb and help slow down the rate at which the naturally occurring sugars enter the bloodstream. Sugars and carbs from raw, unpasteurized fruit and veggies are totally healthy and beneficial for the body and weight loss.

“Quite a few of the bottles came defrosted and when I emailed them, they said that I should expect partial defrosting, but these were totally defrosted. The juices, to me, were not the best tasting. They tasted like Earth and soil. I hated every second of drinking them. By day three I got used to it, but it wasn't enjoyable. I did lose 7 pounds, so that's the up side.
My box didn't come with directions, so I kept going back to the welcome email when I got hungry to figure out what I could eat, but the answer is fruits and vegetables. I found the app to be pointless because the only thing I could do in there was track my weight.
It's a quick way to drop some pounds, though. I don't think I feel amazing after. I feel like I did before I started it.”
