Summer is coming and just like every year with nice weather comes my craving for healthy food. Summer to me goes along with fresh fruits, coconut water … This year I thought: why not go on a 1 day detox before stepping into my summer diet?
I have been hearing so much things about juice cleansing, it was about time I give it a go … Will you follow me on my 1 day cleanse with nood food? Yes … Cool, let’s go.
Thursday evening - On my way back from the office, I just drop by nood food at Kinwick Centre in Soho. My cleanse is ready, waiting for me. My 8 juices, I went for level 1 as I am a beginner, come in an adorable nood cooler. All I have to do is put them in the fridge for tomorrow morning and take it easy on tonight’s diner.
Friday - 8 am - Waking up excited and drinking my first juice, the Lemon Aid – Filtered Water, Cayenne Pepper, Pineapple, Lemon, Maple syrup. Each juice comes with a number on the stopper for me to know which one to drink. Following the right order is important.
Easy peasy so far. The juice is ok, I don’t like pineapple but it is not their fault. It just feel strange not to start my day with a coffee as usual. Caffeine is prohibited during the cleanse.
10 am - Time to take a shot of Vitamin and Recharge – Carrot, Apple, Ginger, Lemon, Lemon Grass, Orange.
12 pm - Not I am not angry, I am not tired either and I do not have a headache. I am just perfectly alright so time to open the 3rd juice Green Machine – Avocado, Mint, Pineapple, Spinach, Barley Grass Powder. Well pineapple again, unlucky me. The texture of this one is very creamy, due to the avocado, it feels like drinking a smoothie, kinda nice.
2 pm - Not angry but kinda feel like eating something solid. But that’s alright, I can handle and it is time for my 4th juice the Raw Reviver – Apple, Celery, Carrot, Cinnamon, Maca.
4 pm - Doing more than alright. Actually you know that moment of fatigue you always get after lunch? Well, not for me today. I just feel perfectly well and full of energy. And here comes the green juice Happy Apple – Kale, Cucumber, Apple, Spinach, Lemon. It is so fresh, I love it. Feels like a green shot was exactly what I needed in the middle of my afternoon.
6 pm - No food obsession to report. Actually it feels way more easy than what I was thinking. I do not particularly feel the need to drink my 6th juice – the Yin Yang with Cucumber, Apple, Ginger, Celery, Lemon, Carrot, Beetroot, Lemon Grass, Orange - yet but trying to keep it up with the 1 juice every 2 hours plan I set up for myself this morning. Plus, I have yoga in 30min and I don’t want to be down.
8pm - I feel just so relax. Is it my Yoga class or is it the cleanse? I guess it is combination of both. 2 more juices to go and this one is a green one again, the Karma Kale – Hawaiian Spirulina, Kale, Cucumber, Apple, Celery.
10pm - Well, I just went through this day perfectly well! And this last juice – the Easy Almond with Almonds, Dates, Pink Himalayan Salt, Filtered Water and Vanilla Extract - is just so sweet, perfect before going to sleep.
The day after: I just feel great. I am full of energy, not starving at all and I slept so well last night.
In a nutshell, I just loved this 1 day cleanse. It was very easy to follow because everything is perfectly explained and if you have any doubt you can just check nood food website. Overall the juices were tasting quite nice, except that I really hate pineapple but that’s my personal taste, and I did not even feel the need to eat the two solid supplements that are provided. Next time – and there will definitely be a next time – I’ll go for a 3 days cleanse!
And a little bonus, a special discound for Hong Kong Madame girls willing to cleanse before Summer. HKD 150 off on a 3 days cleanse and HKD 300 off on a 6 days one with code hkmnood until May 8th.
