StyleNest recently sampled a three day juice detox, courtesy of Nosh.
The process began with a short questionnaire about our health and any food dislikes in particular. Our juices were then freshly created and delivered to us, complete with teas tailored to our needs too.
You are told not to go for any last-ditch drinking or food binges the night before you begin the detox, so your body doesn’t completely freak out. Gentle exercise is key throughout the process- a little light walking for example, but nothing more.
We were told to start the day with a Lemon & Ginger Tonic, which cleanses your system first thing in the morning and other juices are then allotted to different times of the day. On a clear schedule, there are four main juices to drink throughout the day after this, with an Almond Mylk finishing things off before bedtime. The drinks are; Principle 1 Smoothie (Re-hydrator), Protein Smoothie, Principle 3 Smoothie (Healer) and Principle 4 Smoothie (Rejuvenator).
Each drink has a different purpose, from the Protein Smoothie increasing energy levels to the Principle 4 Smoothie (Rejuvenator) boosting the immune system with Vitamin C ingredients. Components of the smoothies were all very tasty, comprising flavours such as pear, mango and pineapple, plus extra ingredients such as amino acid favourite, Spirulina.
The experts are great at keeping in tune with their clients’ juicing needs and you can also drink teas during the day, which come as tailor-made kits; a teabag plus herbs and spices to make up yourself.
The teas I was sent were Astragalus, Olive and Mint. Each with different uses, the Astragalus is anti-inflammatory, Olive antiseptic and improves kidney function and the Mint boosts your immune system. Nosh also do food programmes, which I would be keen to try in the future. All ingredients are gluten and dairy free for each Nosh Detox programme and there are weight loss programmes and green vegetables cleanses available too.
I won’t lie and tell you I found the detox massively easy, it took willpower and determination. But, the juices were very tasty and the teas soothing. After ending the detox, my energy levels were massively increased and my whole system felt replenished. It was 100% worth the hard work, and actually, I really enjoyed it too.
