New York Fashion Week left us more than just exhausted—the combination of stress, excessive bubbly, and one too many mini crab cakes made our go-to jeans a little too snug. But, since we're never feeling the whole crash-dieting craze or the cigarette-and-Red Bull regime preferred by more than one skinny gal.—our goal was to beat the bloat in a healthy fashion. So, we turned all Nancy Drew-ish and dug around for the coolest cleanses around—some new ones we attempted (uh, not a great week at the office), others were tried-and-true standbys suggested by our nearest and dearest, and of course, we considered a bunch of recommendations from you! So, if you're looking for a safe way to switch-up your eating regime for fall, try out what we think are the three best cleanses out there.

1. BluePrintCleanse: So we're not breaking any new ground here, but sometimes the buzz really is well-founded. BPC was the very first line of juice cleanses to offer people varying levels of intensity. There's the regular juice cleanse (you might know the founder's book, The 3-Day Cleanse), or you can try Juice 'Til Dinner, which combines the regular package with a raw vegan dinner and snacks. The cleanses are delivered in batches of up to three days a time, and the resealable, numbered containers makes the experiences as easy as apple pie.

2. Organic Avenue: This NYC-based healthy lifestyle company is pretty famous for its LOVE (Live, Organic, Vegan, Experience) cleanses, so adored by the fashion flock that OA opened a pop-up juice bar at Lincoln Center for Fashion Week (and yes, there really is a "fashionista cleanse"). Even if you're not into their 3 or 5-day programs, we think you'll still be hooked—they've got organic workshops, whole food supplements, and gourmet raw meals too!

3. iZo Cleanze: This raw, vegan, and organic juice and superfood cleanse plan has custom-formulated recipes cultivated for maximum well-being. There's two programs:The Juice Feast and the Superfood Cleanze (go for the latter if you want a little more sustenance), that are delivered to your door every morning at 10:30 AM.
