The 21-Day Cleanse

I didn’t eat a ton of Halloween candy, whoo hoo! I’m so glad I tried this 3-week cleanse. There certainly have been cravings, but I feel so much better than past years during this time. I tried some new foods, learned some new kitchen hacks, and found several new recipes to include in our rotation. And since my husband is out of town next week, I’m going to continue this practice. The smoothie for breakfast and lunch works well for my busy schedule, so I will probably do that. Then I can cook 1 night and have that meal for leftovers another night. Thank you Jen and team for the healthy start to the holiday season!

What a great experience the 21-day cleanse has been. I’ve learned so much and I’m really enjoying cooking again! I’ve lost 9 pounds so far and have a ton of energy. When the cleanse is finished in two days I will continue to eat this way. The recipes are delicious and beautiful to look at. I can’t believe I got through this cleanse without cravings for sugar caffeine junk food alcohol or chocolate but I did get through it and it wasn’t that hard because the recipes are amazing. Having a grocery list I could take to the store was so convenient. It was easy to succeed. I’ve embraced REAL food and have no great desire to return to bad eating habits and lots of processed foods. Life changing!!! Thank you!!!!

is they are easiest to use when they are spiral bound. The recipes are good, pictures are great, easy simple instructions. It would make it much easier to flip between recipe pages and sit on the counter if it was spiral bound and I would have given it 5 stars.

So glad I invested in my health to do this 21-day cleanse. Previously I had a mental image of a ‘cleanse’ program as being punishing questionable supplements & full of weird foods that a real-person would never normally eat. During this cleanse I NEVER felt punished or hungry. (I often didn’t even make all the snacks or even some of the meals as I wasn’t needing them.) The program is very clearly laid out showing all meals snacks and beverages for each week of the cleanse. It gives you a very HELPFUL shopping list of exactly what you need for that week’s meals. Yes it is a lot of cooking but there are tips on what can be prepped in advance so as to reduce the actual meal time. And most meals are designed to cook one and eat twice (lunch following day). I learned many new tricks to perform with my Vitamix blender bought ingredients and cooked food I’ve never made before and learned how to make veggies as more than just a side dish on a plate. The meals have been tasty nutritious filling and I was amazed at how well I felt and my energy levels once I got a few days into the cleanse. Added bonus I have lost 10 lbs! There is also a social platform for sharing experiences pics and encouraging one another. I feel like I have the tools to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my regular meal planning. Would highly recommend this cleanse as either a body reset or way to get learn and establish new habits for incorporating healthier eating into your lifestyle.

I had been wanting to eat more plant based meals but was overwhelmed at the thought of finding a bunch of new recipes. I loved the meal plans shopping lists and prep ahead guide! Everything is done you just have to cook and eat it. I have felt nourished and really enjoyed the community support. Would definitely recommend!

What an easy way to get a healthy reset! The Autumn 21-day cleanse was full of tasty and easy recipes complete with weekly shopping list and prep hints. Love the camaraderie and questions were answered quickly. This has set me on a path to healthier eating!

I have tried several programs this year but this one put me back on track. I started eating vegan in April. Everyone said to eat as much as I wanted because the vegetables would be on top of some brown rice or some other whole grain. I found myself in a holding pattern. I lost nothing. No weight and no inches. When I saw this challenge I decided to jump in. In 21 days I have lost a total of 7 lbs. My clothing is swimming on me and I have pulled out my smaller sizes that have been tucked in the back of my closet. The smoothies were delicious and filling. I can assure you that there were foods that are NOT on my menu on this cleanse but I put on my big girl panties and ate whatever Jen told us to eat. I loved everything! My taste buds now don’t want sugar and I haven’t thought about my coffee with pumpkin spice since the 3rd day. I am amazed at what this challenge has done for me. I am continuing on and getting into all of my old clothing and getting my life back on track.

Although I’d been on the SGS email list for a while, and have enjoyed incorporating smoothies into my diet, this was my first time joining the Autumn Cleanse or anything like it. I really appreciated the emphasis on a plant-based way of eating and how to prepare simple, delicious, fruit-and-veg snacks. I’m around day 18 of the 21 day cleanse, and am down 7 lbs, which is a real win for me! I did feel the “withdrawals” during the first day or two of the cleanse, but after that, I’ve felt awesome. I “cheated” yesterday and had a mug of caffeinated black tea, then proceeded to have the most anxious day I’ve had in a while, so an important lesson was learned about how caffeine impacts my body, thanks to the Autumn Cleanse. I’m looking forward to incorporating some of the cleanse recipes into my day-to-day diet after the 21 days are up, and in addition to joining Rawk The Year, I’m looking forward to participating in additional seasonal cleanses in the future!

There are so many take always from this cleanse. First I had no idea plant based eating could be so Delicious! It was easy no mental effort required as the menu was completely supplied grocery list and even suggestions for prep ahead. I’m in my “Wisdom Years” (apparently “older” or “elder” or similar labels aren’t fashionable now) and felt I had fallen into some eating habits that needed to change. This program has done that and now that I know how scrumptious the snacks and meals are I will continue to focus on plant based meals. I had no idea what this could do for me until I tried it myself. Engrained caffeine and grab-and-go snacks or meal habits gradually shrunk the time I spent in my kitchen preparing foods that I Love. This program above all has reunited me with good habits that are self nourishing. Loving self ripples to every person we connect with. I decided to spread the Love by starting with myself. 🙏. Thank you Jen and your team this cleanse has delivered way beyond anything I could have ever imagined… I just started 1/2 marathon training and feel like I have an abundance of energy WooHoo!

I can’t sing this program’s praises enough! It’s so clear the team has put so much thought, brainpower and organization into the program. The cleanse makes you really aware of what habits you’ve picked up that can be discarded if you’re more thoughtful about what you’re putting in your body and willing to put in the effort to plan your meals in advance. I greatly appreciated how easy it was to understand your meal plan each week, and the organized grocery lists. I also really appreciated the little blurbs included with each recipe, indicating ie: what certain veggies are doing in your body — that was SUPER insightful to me (science geek), and was instrumental in keeping me motivated and on track. I also appreciated the office hours – it’s informal and just what I needed each week (if I could join) to renew motivation and stay focused. I love how the team does the cleanse with us – it’s so clear they know how important the “experience” is to stay on track, and they are willing to “live the experience” with the other participants, while also listening to our feedback and questions, in order to continually enhance / optimize their program. I can’t rave about this program enough!

After doing the soup challenge I loved the addition of adding in more healthy fresh food and not packaged or processed. The Cleanse was perfect timing. It also added in more options with smoothies meals and snacks. I come from a background of bread eaters which was at every meal and always usually added dairy to many meals as well. I also am a huge chocoholic. For about a few days I did think about bread cheese and chocolate. Then I looked for awesome substitutes I love cacao. I never knew about nutritional yeast before the soup challenge. it’s great on many dishes. Cabbage leaves are fun and a nutritious alternative to bread. Cashew cream is Fantastic to go on many dishes as a dairy substitute. I ordered the smoothie and meal books to help me get more ideas later to keep on cooking healthy. I lost weight which I was struggling with for a very long time. I had a lot more energy during the day problems before I was having with my digestion and acid after eating meals on week 2 were clearing up. I was feeling so much better. My husband joined me on the cleanse as well and helped me prep food along with my daughter. He also had tons of energy and lost weight and loved the food. My daughter is 3. She loved all the colors of the food and practiced learning about vegetables and counting while helping me cook. My daughter requests a smoothie daily now. This Cleanse for me overall was very positive tons of fun and made healthy changes in the way I and my Family eat. I plan to keep cooking Healthy and making plant based meals for my family.

Hi from the cold north of Alberta. This is the first time that I have done a cleanse and I can say I am glad I did it. I needed something to get me motivated again and get my body moving to drop some of this weight I put on after I hurt my knee. I discovered I like mangos, they are so good. I will remake some of the recipes going forward. I do feel different in a good way. Noticed that I don’t need dairy products or bread and I’m okay with that. I didn’t drink much coffee only one a day so that part wasn’t too hard. Overall it was a good experience. Thanks so very much for having this available much appreciated.

1. I found this cleanse easy to follow and stick to. 2. The recipes were tasty and simple to make. I will repeat many of them. 3.Having an accountability group was motivating and encouraging. I signed up for the year membership but would love to win a second year!!

Who knew wholesome foods that are obviously good for you don’t have to taste bad?!?! This cleanse provided an array of flavors that are incredibly delicious and I will continue to make these recipes in my everyday life! I didn’t expect to gain as much as I did from the support provided by the community. Tips, swaps, and encouragement proved to be invaluable and I looked forward each evening to logging in to see what others posted. No regrets here!!

For some reason this cleanse was so much easier to do than in Spring. Maybe because it’s my second this year and body is not as junked up as before and I feel so much more energy. Loved all the recipes, but I think Minestrone soup, veggie tacos and quinoa bowl are the three that I could eat every day, so yummy! I never thought that ground walnuts with cumin could taste like ground chicken or blended cashews are like sour cream. And the most amazing part is all those pounds I lost without struggle and starvation. Ready to do it over and over again!
