Our thoughts on going FRUIT FREE!

What is a fruit free juice cleanse?

 

A fruit free cleanse is a juice cleanse with zero fructose content. This means the juices are predominantly made from vegetables. For a new cleanser, this can be tough, as the juices are not as sweet and maybe less palatable. If you love vegetables and have been cleansing for years, going fruit free is a great option.

 

Should we cut the fruit?

 

There has been a lot of hype in the media recently warning people to avoid fruit due to the high sugar content. Firstly, there is no sugar in fruit. Fruit contains fructose, which is a natural sugar. Fruit is real food with low energy density and lots of fibre. At Genie Juicery, most of our drinks contain some kind of fruit. Fruits and vegetables have countless health and beauty benefits, making them a welcomed additional to our daily diets.

 

Whether you have skin issues, stomach issues or thinning hair, fruits, and vegetables, can aid. Take the apple as an example. Dubbed as ‘the original super-food’, the apple satisfies hunger with very few calories, regular consumption can control and prevent acne eruption, it has anti-aging properties and there is proven links to Alzheimer’s prevention. Who would have thought? Numerous benefits from the trusted, mighty apple.

 

However, everyone is not built equally. With the rise of candida (over productive yeast found in your gut), the trend to cut out sugars is on the rise. This includes fruit. Even though we are big fans of our naturally sweetened friends, and include them in our diets daily, we also accept the benefits of cutting them, even if only for a short time. This is why we came up with Hong Kong’s first ever, Fruit Free Cleanse! We have combined our powerhouse, vegetable heavy juices and thrown in our 100%, additive free, HPP free; coconut water. This juice combination is a great way to get the vegetables in without worrying about the additional fructose. A few days on the Fruit Free Cleanse will see improvement in your skin, increased energy levels, shiny hair, whiter eyes and an all-round, general glow.
