Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

You may remember me talking about a 3-day juice cleanse I did back in January. That was my first insight into the world of cleansing and juicing and I loved it!

Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

Since then I’ve been wanting to incorporate more fresh juice into my diet, the  snag being I don’t have a juicer and purchasing fresh pressed juice can be really expensive. BUT, turns out I could have been juicing at home all this time even without a juicer! I recently got a copy of Leanne Vogel of The Healthful Pursuit‘s new “Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & e-Cookbook“ which taught me I could just make juice with my blender and strain it through a fine sieve or nut milk bag. Revolutionary I tell you!

It’s a beautiful book with 55+ original juice and smoothie recipes, each with its own gorgeous picture,  7-, 9- and 11-day cleanse programs, plus all the tools you need to cleanse with success (meal plans, shopping lists, other resources). 

Sample Cleanse- Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

My concern going into the previous cleanse I did was being hungry but as you can see from the example above, you’ve got 6 large juices a day, including a nourishing nut milk so you’ll be flooding your body with nutrients and in no way starving!

I haven’t had the chance to follow a cleanse program from the book yet but I definitely hope to when I can take some time off cooking. I have tried a few of the recipes and been super impressed. 

The book’s divided into smoothies and juices, all with fabulous names I might add- who wouldn’t want to drink a “Sangria Sunset” juice? Or a “Dark Chocolate Fudge” or “Coco Cabana” smoothie?! 

As I was so excited about the prospect of being able to make my own juice I’ve only tried recipes from that section so far. 

"The Fresh Way"- Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

First up was “The Fresh Way” juice. A delightful and indeed  super “fresh” tasting grapefruit, cucumber, ginger and greens combo.

"Creamsicle Hemp"- Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

Next, I opted for one of the “Nourishing Milks”. Leanne incorporates these into the cleanses as a great way to add some healthy fats and a little extra energy into your diet during this time. I was already a fan of nut milk but especially love the fresh flavours included in the book. 

This was the “Creamsicle Hemp”. A very creamy, slightly sweet milk with a hint of orange. 

"Puckered Beet"- Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook

I think juices with beetroot in will always be my favourite. The “Puckered Beet” was an immediate must-try for me and it didn’t disappoint. Isn’t that deep purple beautiful? You can tell it’s brimming with goodness just looking at it! 

Leanne has kindly allowed me to share this recipe with  you.  Hope you like it as much as me.

“Puckered Beet” Juice

Serves 1
Beets add a brilliant red glow to just about all juices and smoothies. If deep red is your favourite colour and just makes you feel good, add a bit of beet into everything! Your liver will thank you.

    I have been considering purchasing this ebook because I am interesting in doing a cleanse but my concern is there are ingredients there that I wouldn’t use. Are there suggestions for alternative ingredients in recipes or other options on the cleanse? Thanks for the review :)

    • Coconut and Berries says

      Do you mean ingredients you don’t have or things you don’t like? The recipes have very few “superfoods” or wacky ingredients if that’s what you’re worried about. They’re mostly just fruits and veggies so there’s nothing hard to find.
      There are 3 different categories of cleanse- “restore” “enliven” and “refresh”, arranged in terms of intensity. The juices are organised into these categories so if you’re opting for the “restore” cleanse, for example, you can just choose whichever juices you like in this category. There’s also a suggested ramp-up up and wind-down program but the smoothies and sample meals are just suggestions so there’s plenty of freedom. Hope that’s helpful :)

        Thanks for your help :) I am more concerned about ingredients that I don’t like. I know that there are certain foods you should have on a cleanse for maximum benefit but there are some fruits I don’t like so I just wondered if there were substitutions or alternative recipes suggested.

        • Coconut and Berries says

          Ah, i see. There are so many recipes in the book that I would just skip over any including fruits you’re not fond of.

    All of the drinks look so beautiful and colorful! I, personally, have never juiced before. I am so crazy finicky on tasting veggies in drink form, it’s odd, I know haha! I LOVE veggies but have always liked just eating them…drinking them or tasting them too strong in a smoothie has made me wonder if I could juice. The book sounds fabulous though!

    Looks like a great book. I love beets too, that juice sounds lovely, and that hemp milk looks amazing!

    • Coconut and Berries says

      Mmmm, that juice was so good. I’m going away again on Saturday so I think I’ll be juicing all my remaining produce! Great way to use up odds and ends.
      So happy to have Leanne’s book as a great guide and so many fun recipes!

    This juice looks so refreshing and detoxifying - I’m already a “beet freak” so this looks perfect for me ! Leanne’s juice cleanse looks amazing - I will definitively look into it now that I know I don’t need a juicer :)

    • Coconut and Berries says

      April 3, 2014 at 8:32 pm

      Me too! Beets in everything but juice with beets is always a winner for me. At least I’m used to pink pee now!
      Definitely look into Leanne’s e-book. Such a comprehensive guide and so many fun recipes to try.

    I’m jealous Emma! My blender broke right after I got her book & so I’ve been anxiously awaiting my new blender jar so I can get back to making these lovely juices.

    Beautiful photos.

      No way! Poor you! I’m now away for a month so I’m without my blender too :(
