CLEANSING CRUSADERS

Jennifer and Christopher Italiano, 2002
Everyone is hip to the healing power of plants, and I want to make it easy and delicious for people who’ve decided to treat their bodies well.
What inspired you to open this place?
Our inspiration was to create healthy, delicious food that was free of any animal products, refined sugars and gluten.
Our three-day, feel good fast cleanse. It’s a great way to quickly feel lighter and brighter, and people can fit it in mid-week before re-toxing on the weekend.
What’s your most sought-after juice cleanse? All three of our juice cleanses do very well, but most people like the beginner and intermediate. The beginner has a meal and is an easy transition into cleansing if you’ve never done one.
Our super green fuel is kinda crazy in that it contains up to 20 ingredients. It’s a whole food blender drink you could live on. What’s your craziest, most exotic type of juice?
Our green immunity. It has over six pounds of organic leafy greens, [and it’s] a great way to meet your daily intake.
 
We send the daily love by bicycle out to the CBC for our favourite celeb client.
Any celeb customers? We have fed everyone from Susan Sarandon, to Flea, Katie Holmes, Rachel McAdams, Michael Cera, Edward Norton and Sarah Silverman.
The phone starts ringing on Jan. 2 for bookings! A juice cleanse, whether for a day or for 10 days, can be a great way to shed some excess weight and to kickstart into healthier eating habits. Does January get busy, what with everyone wanting to shed the pounds? Yes, January tends to pick up. People want to shed the pounds and detox from all the “junk” they’ve consumed over the holidays.
