Getting my skinny on with Skinny Limits {Review}

January 27, 2014 by Noelle Leave a Comment

I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meets SM program, May Media Group LLC, but all opinions are my own.


Everyone knows that when the New Year rolls around we immediately want a new you. New Year’s resolutions are started and usually abandoned quickly or new diets are started and quickly are forgotten. In year’s past I would fit that pattern but then I just came to terms that I was not going to start something that I was doomed to fail eventually.

Since having 2 kids, it has been super easy to make excuses for the way I handled my life. Everything else came first and I came last. In the last month I started asking God to give me strength to have discipline because I KNEW for sure I had not been able to do anything in the last year and a half. When it comes to food, I just simply decide that portion control does not exist, but at the end I come to realize that “man does not live by bread alone but on the every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)

You know what knocked some sense? After I realized I have neglected myself in 3 years with going to the dentist, doctor and everything else, I knew I needed to get my diet under control. There is one thing being a food blogger and eating food and there is another just simply controlling the amount and the type of food I fed myself. I was 30 pounds lighter and on the way to a healthy weight after having my first daughter then when I found out I was pregnant with my second I said I would be able to get back on the bandwagon, because after all, a pregnant woman should not be denied anything. It is just plain stupid. Cravings are just what they are, cravings. Moderation did not exist and I simply can not live without applying this to my life.

How does this all apply to my juice cleanse? Well, I got the opportunity to review a 3-day cleanse with Skinny Limits and I simply knew it was meant to be and I had to do it. I knew I would be very ready for a cleanse especially after coming from our Disney trip. I actually wanted nothing with food after we came back and in a sense that is probably why I have not posted much lately. I have been evaluating my eating habits and everything else.  I don’t have to be vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or anything else to realize that the trouble is with the amount of food that I eat versus the type of food I eat. 

After I knew I was going to go through this cleanse then I planned to start my journey with Weight Watchers as I had been doing the first time around. My journey after a cleanse would focus on clean eating. No processed foods and no excuses. Thanks to Skinny Limits for such a wonderful program and juice selection.


Here is a little about the company. I am excited that Skinny Limits is based in Austin, Texas because I’m originally from Houston. Even thought I am practically new in the East Coast, I can’t help being excited about a Texas-based business. 

Skinny Limits was founded in Austin, Texas by Cary and Joanie Frieden,
two avid juicers who wanted to spread their passion for raw foods. After
personally experiencing the health benefits of a raw food diet and daily
juicing, the Friendens were convinced that it was the healthiest option for
families everywhere. They created Skinny Limits to share their nutritious
cleanses and raw food options with the world. Skinny Limits makes it
possible to find a completely natural and raw cleanse.



Here are a few more facts:

• The standard 3-day juice cleanse kit includes 18 bottles of juices total,
in varying flavors and fruit/vegetable combinations. Each day you’ll
drink six 16oz bottles of juice. The ingredients in each type of juice are
listed below:

• Pure and Simple (Green Juice): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber,
apple, and lemon.
• Balance (Green Ginger): Kale, spinach, parsley, cucumber, apple,
lemon, and ginger.
• Green Firefly: Kale, spinach, parsley, celery, cucumber, apple,
lemon, and pineapple.
• Scorpion Lemonade: Lemons, agave nectar, cayenne, and
filtered water.
• Crescent Moon: Raw cashews, vanilla bean, cinnamon, agave
nectar, coconut oil, himalayan sea salt, and filtered water.

• Skinny Limits juices are completely natural and raw, made without
pasteurization or processing. Plus they are vegan and gluten-free!

• All Skinny Limits juices are made fresh to order and delivered
immediately after being produced. All juices must be refrigerated
immediately upon arrival.

• The retail price of a 3-day Skinny Limits juice cleanse (18, 16oz
bottles) is $147.

I think the wonderful part about Skinny Limits is that it is affordable and it is READY for you to drink! It arrives quickly to your doorstep and ready for you to place in your fridge. The drinking starts the next day since all the juices are fresh. I love juicing, but with 2 kids and juicing for 3 days and cleaning a juicer, I simply was not inspired. 

Even though some of you might be intimidated to start or try something like this there ARE options to try one day cleanses to get a feel starting at just $49! There are several juice packages the company offers like a variety pack, a standard pack, a tropical pack or a custom pack. 

I chose the Tropical pack which included these:

1 Pure and Simple (Green Juice)
1 Balance (Green Ginger)
2 Green Firefly (Kale Pineapple)
1 Triangle (Carrot Juice)
1 Crescent Moon (Cashew Nut Milk)

My favorite was the Kale Pineapple and the finisher nut milk. It was almost like drinking horchata. 🙂 The plus with juicing was the experience I had with my toddler because by the second day the kids were playing with the empty bottles and my toddler was asking to try all the juices and giving her opinion on each. She thought the carrot juice blend was “too sour,” but then she kept on drinking. She liked the Kale Pineapple blend as well. What a plus to see my little one drink and an inspiration to keep eating clean even more.


I also love that I could travel with these bottles and continue with my fast. On day 3 of my fast I attended The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel Show which was a bit hard with all the food samples and demos but it continued to teach me discipline so I survived my test. If you are a mom, doing the fast will be a little challenging because there will be moments your body will feel tired. I read my signs and took a nap with my kids. I also decided to do the fast over a weekend so I could start a new week on eating clean.


Thanks to Moms Meet for being able to make my new kick start to health possible and for Skinny Limits for being an awesome company inspiring health.
