Detox: Frequently Asked Questions

Procedure & Sign Up Questions

When do I place my order?
Orders must be placed by noon on the Thursday prior to your start week.

When do I pick up my bag?
Monday between 5 – 7 pm at your predetermined Tree house.

What will be in my bag?
You will pick up a cooler tote bag, (yours to keep) which will contain your juices, smoothies and soups for your detox, along with an ice bag.  There will also be an insert with directions and guidelines.

How do I store juices, smoothie and soup?
To ensure nutrient retention, everything must be kept cold at all times!  If refrigeration is not possible at all times, keep them in your tote bag with frozen ice pack.

Questions About the Juices Themselves

What are the ingredients in the juices, soups & smoothies?
Juices:
celery, cucumber, apple, cilantro, kale, spinach  
Soup: fresh coconut, celery, cucumber, ginger, cilantro, lemon & garlic
Smoothie: grapefruit juice, bananas, blueberries, spinach

How long do the juices last?
Juices will naturally expire after 3 days.  Be sure to remain on your detox schedule and begin and end as instructed.

Is there dairy in any of the products?  How about gluten?
This is a raw, plant based detox.  There are absolutely no dairy, gluten or animal products in any of the detox  items.

Is the detox organic?
We try to use organic produce, however, due to factors such as availability, we cannot guarantee 100% organic, but we aim for as close as possible.

Dietary & Health Questions & Concerns

* We recommend that you speak with your doctor or a health care professional before you begin a detox if you have any special conditions or health concerns.

Will I lose weight?
Although this is not the purpose of a detox, many individuals do report losing weight.  It depends on the person.

Should I continue taking my medications during my program?
We do not suggest you stop taking any medication without first consulting with your doctor.

How about supplements such as multivitamins, etc?
This is a time to allow your body rest.  Therefore, we recommend leaving your supplements on the shelf, including multivitamins.  You will get plenty of vitamins and minerals from the juices, smoothies and soups!

Can I workout?
Exercise will facilitate the cleansing process, but as with anything else, listen to your body! We encourage movement, but if at any time during a workout you feel light headed or nauseous cease the activity immediately.

Other than the juices and smoothie, what can I drink?
Enjoy purified water (be sure to drink HALF your bodyweight in ounces per day!), herbal teas and of course your Vita Coco! We discourage drinking any caffeinated beverages.

Can I smoke while on a detox?
A detox is a time to remove toxins, smoking increases toxins. Smoking is not recommended during your detox.

Can I do this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No…this is two-fold.  First, because the juices are raw and unpasteurized we do not recommend consuming while pregnant or breastfeeding. Secondly, a detox is calorically insufficient to support the needs of pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Can children detox?  What about teens?
A detox program is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.  Both children and adolescents are growing and have increased nutritional needs.

If I am diabetic, can I detox?
Due to the high amounts of naturally occurring sugar in both the smoothies and juices, it is not recommended for diabetics.  Anyone with ANY medical condition should first receive clearance from their doctor prior to committing to any detox program.

After Your Detox

How often should I detox?
Ideally, once per month to keep your body balanced!  At a minimum, 4 times per year is what we recommend.

What do I eat when I am done with my detox?
What you do pre (in order to prepare) and Post are vital to a successful detox.  You will receive emails from us both prior to start of detox and as we wrap up with guidelines and recommendations.  If you have questions following your detox we can be reached at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
