![]() ![]() I wake up with my headache gone and go through the Juice Press cleanse with less skepticism than BluePrint, since I'm not drinking glorified apple juice all day. It consists of Complete Source (carrot, celery, parsley, and spinach) the optimistically named The Meal (spinach, carrot, cucumber, celery, apple, carrot, and spirulina) shockingly sweet and orange Sweet Potato Pie (carrot, sweet potato, apple) the (really, really) Spicy Citrus (grapefruit, orange, lemon, ginger, cayenne) actually delicious Tomato Gazpacho and the very light Gravity (cucumber, celery, aloe, lemon, kale, and live cultures).
