Detox, Cleanse, then Recharge

By Laura Medina

Ok, you've running the treadmill. Nope. Not the one at the gym, but the global-trotting, driving, running (not jogging) one where you attend meetings, arrange then network at events, eat and sip (or guzzle) whatever is on the tray, and fly all over.  You're just relieved you didn't get lost, didn't get into a car wreck, or lucky be, didn't get a parking ticket.

In other words, you run the "fashion marathon." 

Now that your system is a wreck from buying and schmoozing for a good one to two months, it is time now to renew and recharge and start fresh....remember the major gluttony call "the holidays" are just around the corner.

These detox juice systems will clean your gear while refueling your cells.

BluePrint Cleanse Juice System started this all.  They made detoxing and juice cleansing more forgiving and more realistic, leading the way for Kaeng Raeng, an adjustable juice cleanse powder.

Instead of you buying a heavy and expensive juicer or dealing with a messy blender then buying the fruits and veggies then figuring out when and what to drink, BluePrint's detox sets and Kaeng Raeng's adjustable powdered fruit and vegetable powdered mixes gives you the option for juice or smoothie with water, milk, or fruit or vegetable juice. 

BluePrint starts everyone off with a 3 stage detox, the first set is the easiest with the most variety of flavor then the third one is the most intense with the least amount of flavors.

Let's start off with the easiest one, the one that does all the thinking for you, BluePrint Cleanse.

The Renovation Cleanse is the easiest for those who need a nudge into detoxing.  The flavors are already set for you.  It is a gentle and fun way to start detoxing.  For those living on fast food on the go or road, Renovation Cleanse is a good way to gradually start your system running and slowly get rid of all those yummy toxins like fast food and whatever food at the party.

BluePrint Cleanse calls this set, "a gateway cleanse," as it may encourage you to experiment with the next two levels of the BluePrintCleanse. This "Class-A" cleanse will leave you addicted to feeling amazing and wanting more.  This cleanse is designed for the absolute beginner—the "I'll have my martini with a side of steak, please" type—and for that we applaud you. Typically, the renovating type is one who could stand to lose a few pounds, or perhaps a few more than a few. You like to indulge, sometimes in excess—a few extra drinks here, a few extra smokes there, but hey, who's counting? Maybe you have a family history of health issues. Point is you're a real person, who is about to feel real results. 

The Renovation Cleanse fills you up with six delicious juices per day—a combination of creamy cashew nut milk with vanilla and cinnamon, combination fruit juices like pineapple & mint, refreshing lemonades with agave nectar and nourishing green juices. More smoothie than algae.

The Renovation Cleanse is for the everyday person or rehabbing from bad eating habits.

Foundation Cleanse is for those smack dab in the well-balance middle.  Neither the extreme. Enjoy the fine things in life but needs to clean one's palate or has a run-in with a guilty pleasure, those in the middle will find the Foundation Cleanse not too light nor intense. Just right.

The most intense level of BPC, Excavation, is designed to flood your body with chlorophyll, restore your alkaline balance, and seriously rest your insides.  This is for the hardcore and the experienced.

Excavation provides the cleanest way of juicing, as it omits certain foods that would otherwise slow the detoxification process.

There is little fruit and aside from cayenne, no herbs/spices (i.e. garlic, onion) are used. Certain foods that are used in previous cleanses, such as carrot/apple/beet juice and other fruits with a higher glycemic index, such as pineapple, have been eliminated. Excavation focuses on juices that trigger detox and elimination, such as citrus (spicy lemonade), which act as “cleaners” and green vegetable tonics which act as “healers” and, ahem, “sweepers.”

Excavation takes you much deeper; it digs down to a cellular level, and leaves you feeling brand spanking new.


For those still on-the-go and need a reliable pouch of powder cleanse that can be used and adjusted in many use, from juice to smoothie to meal replacement, KAENG RAENG.

"Skinny Bitch"-approved a.k.a. Kim Barnouin, this gluten- and caffeine-free, vegetarian-friendly mix, vouched by Jennifer Lopez, Lauren Conrad, Alicia Silverstone, and JWOWW, frees you from hauling heavy bottles of juices.

These light-weight but potent powdered mixes detox and cleanse the body, acts as weight-loss system, removes toxins, boost the immune system, and eases the digestive system while giving you the option to drink them thin as juices or as thick as smoothies or as a meal replacement shakes.  For fun, you can use water, juice, or milk (dairy or soy or almond).  You can also blend it with liquid, frozen fruit, or ice for a thicker, sweeter smoothie or milk shake, doesn't feel like a cleanse or a diet.


The accompanying shaker has two measurement lines.  The lower line is for the lesser amount of liquid for a thicker smoothie.  The higher line is for the larger amount of liquid for a thinner juice.

Whichever system you choose is based on how comfortable you feel in starting then continuing your detox/cleanse system.

Either way, you'll clean out enough toxins, you'll be ready for the holidays and the Awards Season just around the corner.
