I’ve heard that reduced red pepper juice makes a lovely glaze. The lurid color of beet juice is enthralling. It’s been fun experimenting with different fruits and veggies.
#BLUEPRINT JUICE SCHEDULE PATCH#
I actually crave my Mean Green Juice, and it makes the entire kitchen smell like a veggie patch when I make it.

I’ve found that the rush of energy I get from the juice alleviates my caffeine and sugar cravings. It is no longer something I’m making myself do. For me, the flexibility of this approach to juicing is what makes it a sustainable practice. Sometimes the juice is breakfast and/or lunch. Why is this kind of juicing fun and enjoyable while the other kind was so painful? Balance? Moderation? Flexibility? I make a green juice almost every morning now, and feel so good about this commitment to health that I tend to eat healthier for the rest of the day. You’ll want to throw everything in your kitchen into that juicer, kind of like how little kids love throwing stuff down the toilet. It’s also really fun throwing entire bunches of greens and whole celery stalks into the juicer and watching them get pulverized in seconds. It is incredibly satisfying seeing my fridge brimming with fruits and vegetables, knowing that I am consuming all of it. I splurged on a fancy juicer and have been plowing through the veggies ever since. Granted, their story is extreme, but it was convincing.
#BLUEPRINT JUICE SCHEDULE MOVIE#
The movie follows the journey of two men who turn around their lives through a 60-day juice cleanse. A few months ago I saw the documentary, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. Would I shell out the substantial amount of dough to do BluePrint again? No, but I would consider juicing myself. On the flip side, at the end of the cleanse I did feel good. And, I missed the social aspects of sharing a meal, especially when my husband would come home with pepperoni pizza.

It was borderline ridiculous when I went to the movies with three juices crammed into my purse because I wasn’t sure when I’d be home again.

I hated the rigidity of having to drink the same thing each day. Overall, my BluePrint experience was challenging. And the Cashew Milk was chunkier than I would have liked, but I enjoyed the vanilla bean and cinnamon in it, and it was as close to a creamy dessert as I would get so I tried to savor it. The Spicy Lemonade was like watered down lemonade with a subtle kick of cayenne. Sweet, tart, and tasty, this was the sweet highlight of my day during the cleanse. It tasted fresh and vegetal, and by day three it strangely reminded me of a Bloody Mary (this could have been wishful delusion however). The Green Juice - comprised of romaine, celery, cucumber, apple, spinach, kale, parsley, and lemon - actually wasn’t bad.
