a couple of weeks ago, i was lucky enough to spend a spa day in southhampton with fellow journalists and friends. the kind people at blueprint cleanse, a company that makes delicious fresh vegetable juices for fasting purposes, invited us. the weather was windy but sunny and while my friend trinh relaxed by the pool reading women’s magazines all day (such a hard life), the rest of us learned how to “cook” raw foods and took yoga or pilates classes. the drinks were delicious as was the fresh kale, sun-dried tomato and sesame seed salad we had for lunch but i was definitely famished when i got home that evening. still, i wanted to see if i could really do an all-juice cleanse for more than one day.
today, i received my three-day cleanse package from blueprint. you drink six varied juices a day and avoid any processed or whole food. that means no meat, dairy or sugar. i guess those oatmeal cookies will have to wait.
i am determined to stick to the rules but it will be difficult. the bright spot on the horizon is knowing i will be savoring a delicious shake shack burger later this weekend…
