I'm not vegan or even a vegetarian, but I am someone who is trying to eat and live more mindfully and holistically - and I loved my experience at Viva Raw. The people at the counter were friendly and informative, trading emails with me back and forth and sending juice cleanse information promptly (their new website is up now - pretty slick with some background videos). I did the renewal cleanse - it was much easier than I anticipated with the advice from Viva to stick to plant based meals the week before and after. Personally, I thought the juices were delicious and I felt so much cleaner and lighter with solid sleep and better clarity and energy towards the end of the 3 day fast. However, I am what some would call more of a healthy eater, so for someone coming from a meat and alcohol heavy diet, the pure green juice could take some getting used to. Pro Fuel tastes like dessert and Good Karma is a wonderful, fresh and tasty blend of carrots and oranges. Juice fasts can get expensive (mine was around 150 I believe), but I don't have a juicer and nor do I have the time to buy large quantities of produce and juice them myself everyday. So for me, this is a worthwhile alternative and I'm really looking forward to doing another one (or designing my own fast) for the end of the summer! Also I think buying the juices a la carte for a daily nutritional boost would be perfect as well and well worth the price.
