A fitness frenzy grabbed the globe in the 1970s, but before the celebrity workout videos and spandex hit the shelves it was nutritionists and exercise gurus who put the public on the path to well-being. Called ‘an apostle for fitness’ by Arnold Schwarznegger, Jack Lalanne’s Power Juices range was the first major market-available cleanse: and half a century later, the fad is still going strong. Suggested to aid digestion and weight loss, improve complexion and tone, and boost energy, the thing the juice cleanse certainly does is increase your intake of vital nutrients and stop you munching on unhealthy sweet treats. Whether it leaves you feeling lighter or livelier, taking a one-to-five day break from your regular diet might be the trick to having you feeling your finest inside and out for the #HKTatlerBall2016. With these eight modern incarnations of the classic cleansing trend on our doorstep, we’ll be giving them a go before we don our glass slippers this September.
Genie Juicery

Give yourself a boost with a Genie Juicery cleanse, starting at HK$600 for one day. From Australian duo Melanie Barnish and Cara McIlroy comes a variety of delicious cold-pressed juices: with eight bottles a day, you won’t have time to miss solid foods. If you’re still going to be hitting the gym hard in the lead up to the ball, opt for their ‘Gym Buddy’ selection which will still give you plenty of energy for your workout. If you’re strapped for time, then the one-day cleanse is perfect for the day before the ball or try the fruit-free cleanse if you're sensitive to sugar. (Read our review here)
