May I pick up my kick-start cleanse before 7:30 AM?
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.
What if I get hungry during the kick-start cleanse?
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.
What if I need to cancel my kick-start cleanse?
Please notify the café 24 hours in advance.
Do you add any dairy, sugar or any artificial sweeteners?
We do not add any dairy, yogurts, ice creams, or any other processed junk at all!
Can I do the kick-start cleanse if I am pregnant or breast-feeding?
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.
Once I complete my kick-start cleanse, what are my next steps?
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.
