The Nourishing Immune-Boosting Box: My 5-Day Experience
I decided to try the Nourishing Immune-Boosting Box (R950), which includes a 5-day supply of cold-pressed juices, soups, health shots, and detox teas. This plan is ideal for those feeling under the weather, lacking appetite, or recovering from illness. It’s also a great option for anyone, like me, looking to reset and boost their system.
Each day, the plan is structured as follows:
7am: Detox tea
8am: Health shot
10am: First juice of the day
1pm: Filling, wholesome soup
3pm: Second juice of the day
Dinner: A healthy, nutritious meal (ideally eaten before 6pm)
While the plan does restrict certain foods, you’re encouraged to enjoy a healthy snack if you feel hungry, such as a boiled egg or a small handful of unsalted nuts. The best part? You get to enjoy a proper dinner, which I found to be a big plus.
How I Found the 5-Day Cleanse
Having never done a juice cleanse before, I was curious to see how my body would respond. As someone who practices intermittent fasting, I typically eat my first meal around noon and finish by 6pm. The idea of starting my day with a detox shot at 7am and a juice at 8am was something I initially thought I’d struggle with. Plus, two juices a day seemed like a lot for someone who isn’t a regular juice drinker.
Day 1: The cleanse started off well. While I missed my morning espresso before my forest walk, the detox tea and first juice were surprisingly satisfying. I wasn’t feeling hungry by the time I had the soup at 1pm, and I was so busy that I forgot to drink my second juice until 4pm! For dinner, I made a healthy roasted vegetable salad with halloumi.
Day 2: I felt a bit sluggish around 10am, with a mild headache. I opted not to take medication, instead drinking more water, which helped ease the discomfort. The good news was that I wasn’t ravenous, I still enjoyed the juices and soups. I also slept incredibly well that night.
Day 3: The headache persisted, and I noticed a pimple on my cheek – a sure sign that my body was detoxing. Despite this, I had more energy than the previous day. A short afternoon nap helped reset my body, and when I woke up, the headache had disappeared. By the end of the day, I felt incredibly energetic.
Day 4: I felt amazing! Waking up at 5am, I was full of energy and didn’t even think about coffee. I was highly productive and enjoyed a boost of energy throughout the day.
Day 5: On the final day, I noticed that I felt less bloated, my energy levels were through the roof, and my skin was glowing. I decided not to weigh myself during the cleanse, as my goal was to reset my system rather than lose weight. However, when I stepped on the scale on Saturday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had lost 3 kilograms – a nice bonus!
Final Thoughts
Overall, my 5-day juice cleanse with Juice Revolution was an incredibly positive experience. I felt more energized, my skin improved, my eyes looked brighter, and I felt lighter and less bloated. I also enjoyed the juices so much that I plan to order more for when I need a quick and nutritious boost. The soups were equally delicious, and I’m planning to stock up on those for the freezer.
Would I do a juice cleanse again? Absolutely! I’m already considering another round early next year. If you’re looking for a simple, effective way to reset your system and feel more energized, I highly recommend giving Juice Revolution a try.
