It is incredibly satisfying seeing my fridge brimming with fruits and vegetables, knowing that I am consuming all of it. I splurged on a fancy juicer and have been plowing through the veggies ever since.
Granted, their story is extreme, but it was convincing.
Blueprint cleanse spicy lemonade recipe movie#
The movie follows the journey of two men who turn around their lives through a 60-day juice cleanse. A few months ago I saw the documentary, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. Would I shell out the substantial amount of dough to do BluePrint again? No, but I would consider juicing myself. On the flip side, at the end of the cleanse I did feel good. And I missed the social aspects of sharing a meal, especially when my husband would come home with pepperoni pizza. It was borderline ridiculous when I went to the movies with three juices crammed into my purse because I wasn’t sure when I’d be home again. I hated the rigidity of having to drink the same thing each day. Overall, my BluePrint experience was challenging. And the Cashew Milk was chunkier than I would have liked, but I enjoyed the vanilla bean and cinnamon in it, and it was as close to a creamy dessert as I would get so I tried to savor it. The Spicy Lemonade was like watered down lemonade with a subtle kick of cayenne. Sweet, tart, and tasty, this was the sweet highlight of my day during the cleanse. It tasted fresh and vegetal, and by day three it strangely reminded me of a Bloody Mary (this could have been wishful delusion however). The Green Juice - comprised of romaine, celery, cucumber, apple, spinach, kale, parsley, and lemon - actually wasn’t bad. I pulled myself together and embarked on BluePrint’s three-day Foundation Cleanse which involved six juices a day: 3 Green Juices, 1 Pineapple-Apple-Mint, 1 Spicy Lemonade, and 1 Cashew Milk. The cleanse hadn’t even started yet and I was cheating! I’m so weak. Day one of weaning, I made a healthy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup…but while the veggies were roasting, I had a bunch of Wheat Thins and a slice of cheese. Psychologically, this may have been harder than the cleanse itself. Three days leading up to the cleanse, BPC recommends that you wean yourself off coffee, sugar, meat, and dairy. Back in December (for the record, probably the worst time ever to embark in a cleanse when holiday cookies are tempting you at every turn), I decided to give the BluePrint Cleanse a shot.
