It’s officially spring! With this new season, I was looking to do a new thing and just start fresh. So, I decided to try a new juice cleanse! I’ve done two juice cleanses in the past and had a good experience and this time I decided to do a 3-day juice cleanse from Pressed Juicery. Here’s how this juice cleanse went for me:

Juice From The Raw – 3 Day Cleanse | REVIEW

I just completed another juice cleanse (my second), and I am feeling great! Last June I did a Jus by Julie 3-day Juice Cleanse which was alright. There were things I liked and didn’t like about the Jus by Julie, but I did enjoy the “cleanse” part and was excited when my mom told me she had a Groupon for a 3 day cleanse from Juice From The Raw.

What I liked about the Juice From The Raw (aka Juice In The Raw) is that the juices are Organic, Cold Pressed, and Raw. Yay! The Juice From the Raw 3 Day ORGANIC Juice Cleanse – Whenever Cleanse – 18 Bottles is on Amazon so if you have prime, then you can get it to your house with 2-day shipping.




We order the juices to arrive on Thursday for our “Weekend Cleanse”. It’s really nice to do the cleanse with someone else because you can encourage each other and support one another when you might be feeling hungry.

We were starting the cleanse on the Friday so I put all my juices in the refrigerator to thaw. Then realized that it wasn’t going to be enough to have Friday’s juices ready to drink in time, so I left them on the kitchen counter overnight to thaw out. Juice From the Raw recommends leaving them out until they are mostly thawed & then putting them in the fridge to thaw completely.

The Forever Cleanse has the most green juices, a Spicy Lemonade, and a Coconut Juice.

These juices aren’t numbered like other Juice Cleanse bottles are. There is a little card stock included in the box with the recommended order to drink the juices and they have it on their website.

You drink the same set of juices each of the three days:

  • Detox Greens
  • Detox Greens
  • Sweet Greens
  • Spicy Lemonade
  • Sweet Greens
  • Coconut Fusion

My favorites were the Detox Greens and the Spicy Lemonade

These Juice From The Raw juices were really flavorful and filling. I preferred them over the Jus By Julie juices and I would love to do this cleanse again.

Jus By Julie – 3 Day Cleanse | REVIEW

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

I ordered the Jus by Julie 3 Day Cleanse because my cousin mentioned it to me and I’d been interested in a detox of some kind. I found a deal on Groupon and scheduled my delivery. This was my first juice cleanse and I was very excited to try it out.

The ordering process was very easy. What’s great is that you can select the date you want your juices delivered and they overnight the juices so they are super fresh and ready to go.

The Cleanse was delivered overnight through Fedex.

Inside the box was a large green insulated bag with 3 clusters of 6 bottles of juice and ice packs banded together (18 bottles total). My juices were cool feeling (not cold) by the time I was able to open them.

I put all of my juices in a cooler and was ready to start the cleanse the next morning. Information in the box said that one should freeze the juices if not able to drink them within three days.

Day One

Jus Lineup

  1. Morning Glory – romaine, celery, spinach, apple, kale, banana, strawberry, water
  2. Spicy Lemonade – lemon, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, water
  3. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water
  4. Acai Blend – acai berries, strawberries, banana, water
  5. Choco-Nana – chocolate, banana, strawberries, water
  6. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water

Near the end of the day, I was feeling tired and kind of weak. I’ve seen other reviews where people feel very energized on the first day but I was seriously dragging.

Day Two

Jus Lineup

  1. Morning Glory – romaine, celery, spinach, apple, kale, banana, strawberry, water
  2. Spicy Lemonade – lemon, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, water
  3. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water
  4. Chia Berry – strawberries, chia seeds, lemon, pomegranate, water
  5. Not So Chunky – peanut butter, banana, water
  6. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water

I was a little agitated all day and feeling tired and weak again by the end of the day. I did have some steamed broccoli to help calm me down and I felt instantly better.




Day Three

Jus Lineup

  1. Morning Glory – romaine, celery, spinach, apple, kale, banana, strawberry, water
  2. Spicy Pome-nade – pomegranate, lemon, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, water
  3. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water
  4. Chia Berry – strawberries, chia seeds, lemon, pomegranate, water
  5. Island Coconut – coconut meat & water, date, cinnamon
  6. Sweet Spin – spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, mango, water

I felt pretty good in the morning; clean and “light”. I was feeling tired and annoyed near the end of the day and had a few almonds to tide me over. I wasn’t a fan of the Island Coconut. I wish I’d gotten another of the Not So Chunky or Choco-Nana instead.

Overall Cleanse

I liked this juice cleanse because it was very simple. I looked forward to the variety of the next flavor and the numbers on the bottle made everything very simple. My favorite juices were the Spicy Lemonade, Chia Berry and Spicy Pome-nade. The Choco-Nana and Not So Chunky were very welcome when it was time for juice #5.

I tried to wait 2-3 hours between juices and I drank a lot of water in between. Anytime I was feeling hungry, it was time for my next juice. I wasn’t really ever feeling “hungry” but I’d feel grumpy and irritated, which is usually a side effect of hunger for me.

One thing that was interesting to me about these Jus By Julie juices is that they are blended; not cold-pressed. I haven’t really seen any other juices that are blended and I thought it was cool because the juice feels more “substantial” with pulp and seeds included. The juices aren’t overly chunky, don’t get me wrong, but they aren’t strained juice like you may have seen from other companies so the texture might be a little weird to some.

Maybe it’s because they’re blended, but I thought it was weird that each juice contains water as an ingredient. There is already water in all of the fruits and vegetables so I don’t know why any would need to be added. Especially when the Cleanse + shipping was a pretty penny, I definitely don’t want to feel like I’m getting watered down juice.

I was a little disappointed when I found out that these juices were not Organic. I think it’s really important, especially with fruits, to be chemical/pesticide free. When I do another cleanse in the future, I’ll make sure to find one that’s only Organic.

I am happy with the 3 day Cleanse; it was the perfect amount of time and I do feel detoxed and “cleaner”. I think my skin is looking brighter and I feel encouraged to make better choices with diet and exercise.
