Every day, our bodies are exposed to toxins from sources like polluted air, processed foods, pesticides, and additives. A juice cleanse offers a focused opportunity to reset your system by nourishing it with nutrient-rich, organic juices. At Sapje, our cleanse features cold-pressed vegetable juices, hearty vegetable soups, and concentrated wellness shots—all made from 100% organic ingredients.

By fueling your body exclusively with these juices for a few days, you give your digestive system a break while flooding it with vitamins and minerals that support your body’s natural detox and renewal processes. A juice cleanse can help strengthen your immune system* and inspire lasting healthy habits.

A juice cleanse can be a healthy and effective way for most people to support both body and mind. It often encourages better eating habits and a more mindful lifestyle. However, it's not suitable for everyone. Individuals with a history of eating disorders should avoid juice fasting, and those with serious mental health conditions are strongly advised to consult a healthcare professional before starting. If you take daily medication, always speak with your doctor before beginning a juice cleanse.

You can do a juice cleanse as often as it feels right for your body. Some of our clients choose to cleanse monthly, while others prefer once every few months or just a couple of times a year. We recommend doing a cleanse at least twice a year—whether you order it from us or prepare it yourself at home—for the best results and long-term benefits.

Regular juice fasting can help make the experience more enjoyable and effective, especially for those already living a healthy lifestyle. Throughout human history, periods of food scarcity were normal, and our bodies evolved to adapt. Juice fasting naturally mimics this rhythm, offering your system a gentle reset in a way that aligns with how we’re built to thrive.

What to Expect During a Juice Cleanse

Every body responds differently to a juice cleanse. Your individual experience will largely depend on your lifestyle. If you regularly smoke, drink alcohol or caffeine, take strong medications, or eat a heavily processed diet, you may notice more side effects compared to someone who already follows a healthy lifestyle.

With the right preparation, many of these side effects can be minimized. When you order a cleanse from us, you’ll receive comprehensive instructions to help you prepare and ease into the process. It's common to experience symptoms like fatigue or headaches during the first two days. For most people, these effects lessen significantly after that initial period.

Possible side effects—listed from most to least common—include:

• Headaches
• Sweating
• Restless sleep (including vivid dreams or nightmares)
• Intense cravings or hunger, especially for unhealthy foods
• Muscle aches
• Fatigue or low energy
• Slower digestion or bowel movements
• Lower back pain
• Irritability
• Bloating
• Nausea or vomiting

Remember, these symptoms are often temporary and part of your body’s natural adjustment process as it shifts into a state of reset and renewal.

Staying active during a juice cleanse is certainly possible—just be sure to listen to your body. Since you’ll be consuming fewer calories, carbohydrates, and proteins than usual, it’s important to adjust your expectations and not push yourself too hard.

We recommend allowing your body ample time to rest and recover throughout the cleanse. The temporary drop in energy intake can affect both your physical and mental balance, so it's essential to stay flexible and gentle with your routine. Light activities such as walking, cycling, or yoga are ideal ways to keep moving while still supporting your body's reset.

Yes, you can absolutely drink water during your cleanse—but how much you need can vary from person to person. On average, you'll already be consuming about 2 liters of fluids daily through our vegetable juices. When you add herbal teas and some extra water, you’re well on your way to staying hydrated.

That said, overhydration can also be an issue. Excessive urination may lead to the loss of essential minerals. The best advice? Listen to your body's natural thirst cues. Drink when you're genuinely thirsty, and opt for filtered or mineral water when possible. Avoid forcing yourself to drink large amounts of water if you're not feeling thirsty.

Pay attention to your urine color—it’s a useful indicator of hydration. If your urine is completely clear and colorless, you're likely drinking too much. A light yellow color usually means you're well hydrated.
