Cleanse Handbook
Featuring our FRESH, NUTRIENT-DENSE, COLD-PRESSED juice lineup, our cleanses are specifically designed to promote a sense of REJUVENATION through a plethora of health-boosting benefits!
WHY CLEANSE WITH COLD-PRESSED JUICE?
Cold-pressed juices have a higher nutrient and enzyme content because they are never heated, thereby requiring less processing and creating less waste. Each Main Squeeze Juice Co. store uses an X1 Goodnature pneumatic commercial juicer to cold-press juices daily.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM CLEANSING?
Cleansing is for anyone looking to improve their health! Our bodies are always naturally detoxing thanks to our liver and kidneys, so we’ve put together a cleanse program that will aid in that process while providing you with the nutrients necessary for your body to heal itself.
WHO SHOULD NOT CLEANSE?
Those with acute or chronic illness, extreme adrenal fatigue, a history of an eating disorder, food allergies to the ingredients, and those on physician-prescribed medications should not cleanse. Our products are not pasteurized, and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause illness in children, the elderly, pregnant women and persons with weakened immune systems.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Juicing is not a health fad or a guaranteed promise for some end result, it’s a way of life! Drinking fresh, cold-pressed juice is deliciously engaging with your health, leaving you feeling not only lighter and rejuvenated but also promoting healthier eating habits. Our bodies have the power to heal themselves, especially when we show them some love with proper nutrition. If you are someone who is not regularly consuming plant foods, making fresh-pressed juice a part of your diet is key for maintaining a healthy body and mind. After all, who has time to sit and eat multiple pounds of produce a day? Even if you don’t have much time, if you are someone ready to take it up a notch and are looking to reboot your entire system, we highly recommend a juice cleanse!
This cleanse program invites you to fast from solid foods in order to flood the body with vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. Our cold-pressed process extracts insoluble fiber from fruits and vegetables, giving your digestive system a rest so that increased absorption of health-promoting phytonutrients and enzymes can take place. But have no fear fiber fanatics, the precious soluble fibers make it into the juice, acting as a prebiotic to support good bacterial growth and digestion!
PREPARATION
For best results, 2-4 days before beginning the cleanse, reduce or eliminate the following to maximize cleanse benefits and prepare your body for detoxification:
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Refined foods (sugar, dairy, white flour, processed/packaged food)
- Meat/animal products
- Nicotine
- Over-the-counter medication (unless prescribed by your physician for use during the cleanse)
ADDITIONAL PREP
IN THIS TIME OF ELIMINATING THE ABOVE LIST, HERE ARE ADDITIONAL TIPS:
- Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day leading up to the cleanse.
- Ease into your cleanse with our nutrient-dense smoothies (in the days leading up to your start date).
- Buffering your cleanse with liquid diet options like soup also helps you ease into it.
- Setting an intention for your cleanse will help you stay strong mentally if you encounter weak moments.
- Let go of any expectations for yourself, remember the whole point of this cleanse is not to reach an end-goal. It is to cultivate more love for yourself while hitting the reset button for your palate, digestion, and overall journey toward a healthier lifestyle!
- Most people feel great on the cleanse, however, there are common symptoms that you may experience, such as changes in bowels, fatigue, headaches, mood swings, body odor, aches, and pains. Poor lifestyle and dietary habits before the cleanse and other factors, such as your preparation for the cleanse, will have a lot to do with how you feel during your cleanse and how intense your detoxification symptoms will be.

AFTER YOUR CLEANSE
If you cleansed for 6+ days, we recommend taking a 3-day buffer period before introducing solid, full meals (or any overindulgences, ESPECIALLY from the list below). If you cleansed for 3-5 days, take at least 1 1/2 days before eating solid foods. Use this period to ease yourself back to solids by consuming smoothies, soups, and more cold-pressed juice! Once you are ready, easing into solid foods with lots of vegetables, fruits, and salads is ideal. Continue drinking plenty of water daily
avoid these items for up to 2 weeks after your cleanse to maintain good energy and lightness:
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Refined foods (sugar, dairy, white flour, processed/packaged food)
- Meat/animal products
- Nicotine
- Over-the-counter medication (unless prescribed by your physician for use during the cleanse)
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
You may have noticed during your cleanse that you begin to love the juice that you disliked at first. As you crave the juices with more vegetables and less fruit, you may even notice fewer sweet cravings after your cleanse. This is the kicker, as staying away from processed sugars and foods is key to cleansing. The goal behind our cleanses is centered around promoting changes in our eating habits overall, post-cleanse. These cleanses are also built for beginners, meaning that we stay below the 80%/20% ratio of vegetables to fruits to make the handfuls of greens a little more palatable. However, we encourage you to increase your intake of vegetable-rich juices throughout your cleanse.
You will lose water weight on your cleanse and this weight is easily put back on when no changes are made post-cleanse. We highly encourage you to embrace more plant-based options in your daily regimen, visit the farmer’s markets, and nourish your body in as many ways as you can. You deserve it!
BE SURE TO NURTURE YOURSELF WHILE CLEANSING!
- Take a bath or soak your feet in Epsom salts to relieve sore muscles and enhance relaxation.
- Take a yoga class to increase nutrient absorption of the spine, bringing balance into your body, mind, and spirit. Yoga also helps to increase circulation and oxygenation, helping to burn toxins and open a space for self-nourishment. We recommend a Yin class for super relaxation, and Ashtanga for a moving meditation style, strengthening class.
- Meditate or practice presence-awareness every day to become more aware of your own body and the world around you.
- Journaling helps to write out thoughts or emotions that may arise during a cleanse.
OTHER INFORMATION:
- - Please keep juices sealed and refrigerated until ready for consumption. When opened, consume within 24 hours.
- - Separation is natural, so shake gently before consuming each juice.
- - Lastly, be sure to keep your juices safe from thirsty loved ones!
