lets start with a confession.

I have been saying to myself “diet starts monday” since the completion of my Vietnam holiday in 2013. the diet generally does start monday morning, then finishes in a burning heap by about 3.oopm that same day when I struggle to resist something delicious.

I’ve been lacking motivation big time of late. Life has given me one to many cheese plates and I have indulged in smashed avo & feta on sourdough a little more often than I should. Although there is one healthy thing that always sticks in my daily routine, and that is fresh juice.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered a bottled, cold press juice by a South Australian company based in Mile End.
Pure Press Juice.
It was at a reasonable price point, tasted delicious and was packed full of goodness. After spending time on their website I learnt more about this awesome Adelaide venture, and a few emails later I found myself with the opportunity to try a 3 day juice cleanse.

Pure Press is relatively new to the market and is already making a big impact in the cold press juice scene. Brett and Vince, the masterminds behind the brand, sell to a variety of stockists in and around Adelaide, as well as to companies interstate including Sydney. If you can’t find a stockist convenient to you they also have a online store, which is also where you will find their 1-5 day cleanses.

Pure Press has 2 types of cleanses to choose from- Purify and Balance. Purify is for the veteran juicers who are conscious of what they put into their bodies and Balance is designed for everyone from first time cleansers to juice pros. I opted for the Balance option to ease myself into a new class of juicing and i’m feeling a little nervous to say the least. I’ve started to try and cut back on coffee and in the next couple of days will be down sizing my meals and eating less crappy food in preparation for Mondays D-day.

over the next couple of days you’ll be seeing a series of posts, or a diary should we say, of my juice adventures.
bring on a Monday that will hopefully bring some motivation and no secret sneaky pieces of cheese! wish me luck..
