How is it made?

The Ripe Stuff juices are fresh pressed in a hydraulic press, the process is the best because it does not allow for oxidation. It extracts 30-50% more juice than any other juicer. A juicer removes all fiber from the fruit and vegetables allowing nutrients to go directly into your blood stream, feeding your body’s cells immediately. The body does not need to digest or assimilate, and therefore the effects are speedy!

What is it?

You choose how long to commit!  Although safe to participate in a juice cleanse for up to 40 days, The Ripe Stuff is available to order for 1, 2, or 3 day cleanses.  The cleanses are provided for you in a certain order to ensure optimum detoxification and nourishment of your cells.  The cleanse is an opportunity for your digestive system to relax, the raw juices act as an intestinal broom.  It is strongly advised not to eat any solid food , drink caffeine, alcohol, or chew gum while cleansing.  You should supplement the cleanse only with large amount of water and decaffeinated tea.  Giving your body a rest from digestion allows it to focus entirely on detoxification.

Ripe Stuff Cleanse Options

A few things we want to make clear:

When ordering for Tuesday, your order will be delivered to you on Monday.  You can choose what time block is convenient for you (3-5PM or 5-7PM).

If you are experiencing trouble placing your order, it is most likely because the item you would like is sold out for that day.  If you have any special orders or questions, please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail.

When to cleanse?

You can juice cleanse safely for up to 40 days, though most people do not have the time for that!  Their lives, social and professional, usually get in the way!  A good time to cleanse would be after a holiday or any indulgent weekend!  If you are looking to get your diet back on track, a cleanse is a good way to jump-start healthy habits.  In just 1-3 days you will be feeling good as new.

A few days before embarking on your juice cleanse, it is advised to clean up your diet by eliminating foods such as wheat, dairy, nuts, meat, caffeine, alcohol and sugar.  Focus in on fresh vegetables, fruits, smoothies, whole grains and lots of water!  Having a nice steak, glass of wine and bowl of ice cream the night before juice cleansing will only make your experience more difficult!

After your cleanse you should follow a similar diet by reintroducing all foods slowly.  Start with a breakfast of fruit or fruit smoothies and lunches and dinners consisting of large salads and whole grains (such as quinoa, brown rice or millet).  When you feel ready , start to incorporate meats, wheat and dairy back into your diet.

FAQ

Why must I place my order 72 hours in advance?

We like to provide you with the freshest juice possible.  Therefore, we order our produce according to the amount of orders we have each day.  As a small business, we appreciate advance orders so that we can plan accordingly.  If you would like to make a last minute order, please e-mail us!

How many calories are in a 1-day cleanse?
There are six 16-oz juices in every 1-day cleanse. Each flavor varies, but your daily caloric intake is around 1200 calories.

Will I be hungry?
Most likely, no. The cleanse is designed to meet all of your nutritional needs, which should leave you feeling satisfied. Chances are that you will miss the act of eating!  Sipping warm tea, lemon water, or water should help this pass. If you feel like you are about to give up, shoot us an email and we will help you through!

Will I lose weight on the cleanse?
Weight loss is a major motive for why people participate in juice cleansing. Although the main reason should be to get a healthy dose of vitamins and nutrients, it is understandable that people want to look good inside and out! Honestly, you will lose weight on the juice cleanse if you have weight to lose. At 1200 calories/day you are not going to be starving yourself, but most clients notice a weight loss of about 3-10 lbs.

Can I exercise while on a juice cleanse?
Of course! You will find that after a day of juice cleansing you have started to experience high levels of energy. If you feel strong enough to go for a run, by all means.  Otherwise, a brisk walk, yoga or stretching should help make you feel fantastic. Make sure to drink plenty of water.

Being on the juice cleanse has effected my, um, bathroom activity. Is that normal?
Whether you are visiting the restroom more or less than normal, do not be alarmed! The juices have little fiber, so feeling a little blocked up is normal. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and tea. When you wake up in the morning, have a warm glass of lemon water (made with lemon and water!). Also, you may be able to notice the effects of the beet juice during your visits to the restroom.  Don’t worry, it is the beets!

I have a headache/nausea, is that normal?
Yes, it is actually a good thing.  The cleanse is working!  Everyday we are inundated with toxins coming from our food and environment. While on the juice cleanse these toxins are being pushed out. The headache and nausea are normal side effects.

Can I drink coffee, alcohol, smoke or chew gum?
All of these things will interfere with you having a pleasant cleansing experience by interfering with your digestion.  If you engage in these activities you will not get the results you should.  The cleanse is definitely a financial commitment, we realize this!  We want you to have a great experience and feel the effects of your hardwork.  If you cannot dedicate the time and would rather be at happy hour, please reconsider ordering!

Do you advise anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding to participate in juice cleansing?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not participate. Unfortunately, 1200 calories is not enough nutritional support for you and your baby, as recommended by most doctors. My juices are also made as fresh as possible, in order to maintain all vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other phyto-nutrients. This is great for most people, but those who are pregnant and breastfeeding should not run the risk of drinking unpasteurized beverages.

I am diabetic, is it safe for me to juice cleanse? 

It should be!  However, if you have any medical concerns, please consult with your doctor.

What is the point of green juice?
The green juice is the most important juice included in your cleanse, that is why you drink it 3X/day! Our bodies can become very acidic, which offsets our internal balance, creates deficiencies and encourages unhealthy cravings. Foods that are naturally acidic are very common in the Standard American Diet, more common than alkaline foods! Diseases thrive in an acidic environment. Common acidic foods include diet soda, coffee, red meat, dairy, sugar, nuts, legumes, and chocolate (some of my personal favorites!).  The easiest way to achieve a more acid/alkaline balance in our body is to incorporate greens, greens and more greens.  The green juice is a huge contribution to the cleanse, helping rid ourselves of unhealthy craving and helping to restore a natural balance.

How should I store my juices?
The juices must be constantly refrigerated! As soon as you receive your cleanse, put it in the refrigerator. If you are bringing juices with you to work or school, make sure you have them in your insulated Ripe Stuff lunch bag with cooler packs. Once you arrive at your destination, stick them back in the fridge!

How long do my juices last?
Your cleanse is delivered to you the night before you should start it. For optimal enjoyment please start the day you indicated when ordering. If you have any questions, please contact us.

It looks as though the juices are all separated?
That is normal, just give them a shake before consuming.
