Blueprint Cleanse

As the season of parties, family celebrations, and food temptations approaches, it can be daunting to try and stick to a healthy eating plan—much less start a new diet. Adding insult to injury, the drop in temperature can often make us crave heavier, more comforting foods at the same time that we find it harder to get motivated for exercise. But what if there was a way to "re-boot" your system so that you craved healthier eats, boosted your immune defenses and increased energy levels? For many people, the Blueprint Cleanse has done just that.

Based in New York City and available all over the country, the all-natural, juice-based Blueprint was first conceptualized nearly 10 years ago when founder Zoe Sakoutis turned to a week-long cleanse to help fight off a cold. While Sakoutis loved the results of the all-juice menu, she recognized that the steps involved in preparing, making and following a cleanse can be very time consuming—and, for most of us, hard to stick to. She teamed up with friend Erica Huss to offer fresh, top-quality juices delivered right to your door, ensuring the process stays easy, healthy and delicious.

Blueprint offers three levels of cleanses, which can be done anywhere from one day to (for the really hardcore) up to a few weeks. Most people choose the three-day plan. The entry-level Renovation Cleanse, with a combination of fruit and veggie juices, spicy lemonade and sweet vanilla-cinnamon-cashew milk is for people who want to start slow or perhaps don't have the healthiest food habits. The Foundation level takes it a little deeper with more astringent juices, while the Excavation is all about greens, with a little lemonade and cashew milk thrown in. For those daunted by the thought of only drinking liquids for three days, Blueprint has just launched a Juice Til Dinner program, which includes daily juices plus a tasty, multi-course raw food dinner.

In addition to tasting good and being super-easy to follow (the juices come numbered in a cute cooler tote and are delivered by hand or FedEx the day before you start), Blueprint takes the guess-work out of doing a cleanse; each level has enough nutrients and calories to sustain you for the day so you won't end up feeling weak. Participants have reported feeling more energized, craving more fruits and greens post-cleanse, enjoying relief from colds and allergies, seeing improved skin and—in most cases—dropping a few pounds. Along with tons of celebrity fans, Blueprint has become a favorite with groups of friends. Some offices even choose to do the cleanse together, supporting each other on this jump-start towards healthy eating.
