Frequently Asked Questions about the Juice Cleanse

You replace your meals for a few days with cold-pressed organic juices. In addition, you drink water and unsweetened herbal tea. With I·DO, all the juices for the entire cleanse arrive in one package, portioned for each day, and your digital juice cleanse guide accompanies you day by day.

That depends on how long you want to fast and how much fruit you like:

• Easy Organic Juice Cleanse, 3 days: the easy introduction, 6 juices per day.
• Organic Balance Juice Cleanse, 5 days: the longer cleanse with 8 juices per day.
• Lean Green Organic Juice Cleanse, 6 days: almost entirely vegetables, with very little fruit sugar, 6 juices per day.

Still unsure? Our juice cleanse quiz will help you in four questions.

You will find all cleanses compared, with the price per day, on our juice cleanse page.

That depends on you and your experience. A single day is enough to try it, for example with the Bio Safttag. Three days are a good start for your first cleanse. If you already have experience, five or six days work too. With the Simply Green Organic Juice Cleanse you choose between 3 and 10 days yourself.

More on duration in our fasting guide.

That depends on the cleanse, for example on how many juices you drink per day and how much fruit is in them. You will find the exact calories per day on the product page of every juice cleanse and in the comparison on our juice cleanse page.

Pure juices without additives, with a good mix of fruit and vegetables. You can press them yourself every day or order a ready-made cleanse where all juices arrive counted out for each day.

At I·DO all juices are 100% organic, cold-pressed and never heated. They contain no added sugar and no artificial additives, only the sugar naturally found in fruit and vegetables. Which juices are in your cleanse you can see on every product page.

Because they are two different cleanses. The Balance juice cleanse has 8 juices per day, i.e. 40 bottles. The Lean Green juice cleanse has 6 juices per day, i.e. 36 bottles. You pay almost the same per bottle for both, around €3.70.

It's best to take things a bit easier for the day or two beforehand: more fruit, vegetables, and water, and less coffee, alcohol, sugar, and meat. You can find a simple plan for this in your juice cleanse guide.

Classically, you only drink your juices, water, herbal tea, and, if you like, a homemade vegetable broth during the cleanse. If you feel hungry in between, a vegetable broth is the best choice.

Light exercise goes well with your cleanse: walks, yoga or gentle stretching. Because you get fewer calories than usual on these days, save intense training such as HIIT or heavy strength training for after the cleanse. Listen to your body and take breaks when you are tired.

More tips in the juice cleanse guides.

Yes, many people work as usual during their cleanse. In the first one or two days you may feel a bit more tired or find it harder to concentrate. For your first cleanse, a weekend or a quieter week is best, with no important appointments on the first days.

Especially in the first days, some people notice side effects such as tiredness, hunger, mild headaches or feeling colder than usual. They come from the lower calorie intake and from going without coffee or sugar, they do not happen to everyone and usually fade when the cleanse ends.

If symptoms are strong or do not fade, stop the cleanse and talk to your doctor.

What helps with headaches is in our article Headaches during a juice cleanse.

Start slowly again. On the first day afterwards, something light like steamed vegetables, a soup, or an apple is suitable. It is better to wait another day or two for larger meals.

We recommend at least two juice cleanses a year, with a few months in between. Most of our customers do two to four cleanses a year. Single juice days also fit into your everyday life more often. If you are unsure, talk to your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication regularly, have or have had a chronic illness or an eating disorder, please speak with your doctor beforehand. A juice cleanse is not intended for children or adolescents.

Always kept chilled in the cooling package. Your package usually arrives within 2 to 5 business days, but in some cases it can take up to 7 business days. Therefore, plan your start date with a little buffer time. Shipping within Germany is free from €120. Put the juices straight into the refrigerator after unpacking.

We preserve our juices using high pressure (HPP) instead of heat. When they arrive, they have an average shelf life of 3 to 4 weeks, with a minimum of 10 days. The exact date is printed on every bottle, so you can plan your start day flexibly. Store them refrigerated at 1 to 7 °C.

Good to know: We often offer juices with a shorter shelf life at a reduced price.

All juices are 100% organic, cold-pressed, and never heated, meaning they are raw food quality. No added sugar, no artificial additives, everything is vegan. And you get several small 240 ml bottles every day instead of a few large ones, which brings variety to your day.

Your digital juice cleanse guide shows you which juice to drink and when, how to prepare, and how to start eating again afterwards. You will receive it with your order. You can also find all instructions in advance on our page All juice cleanse instructions.

The bottles made from recycled PET are deposit bottles. You can return them anywhere in Germany where deposit bottles are accepted, for example at the supermarket. For orders delivered to Germany, the deposit is added to the price at checkout.

A juice cleanse is not a diet, but rather a conscious break of a few days. Many use it as a starting point to change their eating habits afterwards: more vegetables, less sugar, more mindful portions. You can find the number of calories per day for your cleanse on each product page.
