EW/ Book Review/Giveaway: 3 Day Cleanse by Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED ** 

 Anna over at Hachette/Product Review Place had an interesting self-help book this month that I thought alot of you might like and want, after the last gorge of Easter Candy/prior to bathing suit weather! Plus, you use organic and fresh frui and veggies, making it perfect for Earth Week.

Synopsis:
Celebrities, foodies and media people rely on the Blueprint Cleanse for relief from the excess, overindulgence and toxins we are all exposed to every day. Now, the founders of the cleanse praised in Elle, Vogue and Every Day with Rachel Ray, offer THE 3-DAY CLEANSE, an at-home juice cleansing program for everyone. Cleansing allows the digestive system to rid itself of the toxins everyone accumulates from unhealthy eating or from the environment. This is a customized program based on your own personal health and lifestyle. Unlike other programs the Blueprint Cleanse includes enough calories and natural fats for an easier yet incredibly effective cleanse. This books guides readers through step-by-step guidelines for a 1-day, 3-day and 14-day cleanse, as well as a long-term maintenance plan. There are sidebars with quick tips, secrets and advice from people who have done the cleanse and in addition to the juice, raw and part-raw recipes the authors include advice on battling the urge to cheat and working the cleanse into a busy lifestyle. It will boost your immune system, alleviate allergies and PMS, improve your mood and sex drive and clear up your skin. Finally.

About the Authors:

Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss Jones are the founders of the Blueprint Cleanse. Huss Jones has a background in Public Relations, and Sakoutis is an accredited Nutritional Consultant.

Review:  This is an interesting book- I had never considered juice diets/cleanses before, as I usually can't deal with the acid amount. These are different in that they combine different combinations to make a great tasting combination! I like that the authors have broken the cleanses down into 3 different types based on what and how you normally eat, and if you've done cleanses before.they also give you ideas on what to do the week BEFORE you do the cleanse- very informative! They had some great eye opening info on the food we eat that will help you on any diet you want to undertake. I can see that I will probably incorporate parts of their cleanses into a diet plan that will probably work pretty well for me, being on the go alot! I highly recommend this book as a good reference, to come up with health drinks for your children, and to help with diets/cleanses you want to undertake!

Sample juice:
  Blueberry-Apple -Vanilla

1 cp fresh blueberries
1/2 granny Smith apploe, chopped
1 fresh banana
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cps ice

Combine all and blend smooth. Enjoy!
