cleanse FAQs

Before you start your cleanse, you should follow these steps to set yourself up for success 2-3 days prior.  This will also help curb possible side effects.

1. Drink as much filtered/purified water as you can (drink ½ your body weight in ounces daily).
2. Increase your fruit + veggie intake so that your body is less likely to have sugar cravings.
3. Cut back or take away coffee + alcohol.  This can help with any headaches that may occur.
4. Purchase green tea (herbal green tea if you are not used to caffeine) + chamomile tea + a dry skin brush + epsom salt and lavender. All available at either café location or purchase here .

• A path to healthier eating habits
• Less sugar and processed food cravings
• Increased energy levels
• Clearer skin
• Mental clarity
• Possible weight loss

*Results may vary by person. One thing is certain: You will be healthier than when you started and your mind and body will thank you.  There is nothing to be afraid of – it’s simply fruits and vegetables, people!!

• Avoid gum or mints.  They promote the release of digestive enzymes that make you hungry.
• Dry brush your body each morning (or before you shower) to shed dead skin cells.
• Get a massage to promote your lymphatic system.
• Pray, find quiet time and stretch (this is a good time to reset your mind as well as your body).
• Get plenty of rest.

We discourage customers from substitutions because our kick-start cleanse is formulated in a purposeful, intentional way to allow for maximum benefits.  Unless you have a food allergy, we would love for you to enjoy the blends just as they are, in the specified order.  It’s amazing how our taste buds change and our body begins to crave fruits and vegetables in such a short amount of time.  Most customers that dislike a blend on Day 1, end up loving it by Day 3.

Yes.  If you call the café 24 hours in advance to alert them that you need an early kick-start cleanse pick-up, we can make arrangements to have it ready by 6:30 AM. Be sure to leave your name and number in the event we need to call you back.

The point of our kick-start cleanse is to flood your body with nutrients, not starve you!  So, if you find yourself feeling hungry after drinking your six blends for the day, feel free to eat any raw fruit or vegetable.

If you need to change dates or cancel your order, you must notify us by email at hello@ediblend.com at least 96 hours prior to your start date. For example, you must inform us of changes by 8 am Friday before your scheduled Tuesday start date. We will give you a credit to use at any available time in the following 3 -month period. We do not offer refunds or credits for cancellations made less than 96 hours prior to your start date.

We do not add any dairy, yogurts, ice creams, or any other processed junk at all!

Remember that our kick-start is simply putting a ton of plant-based food into your system for maximal nutrition.  Please review the list of ingredients and total calories for the kick-start cleanse to decide for yourself if this would be right for you.

Congratulations!  You did it!  Just like you prepared for your kick-start cleanse, we recommend you try to stick with a plant-based diet of fruits and vegetables.  We suggest you avoid meat, poultry, refined carbohydrates and processed foods for as long as possible. Dairy should be consumed at a minimum if possible as it has been shown to be inflammatory to your system.  You worked hard to reset your body, so reward yourself by continuing to make mindful choices. We have a full menu loaded with whole-food, plant-based yummy selections that will help you resist falling back into the processed food rut.
