I know, it sounds weird to many people. Every time new people join one of my juice cleanses or our Health Mastery Community, there is always a person or two who sees a few of the recipes with onion in it and says “can I do the juice without the onions?” Of course, the answer is always yes! You can always tailor a cleanse to your individual needs. But I always respond with the 15 reasons why you should at least CONSIDER adding some onion to some of those juice recipes.

Many people are familiar with the Master Cleanse, which is a 10 day program wherein you drink nothing but a maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice mixture. I do not recommend the Master Cleanse as a regimen on its own, because you are not infusing your body with enough calories on a daily basis. This results in a slowing down of the metabolism which can be hard to recover from, particularly for people desiring to lose weight.
