Serious Eats on a Juice Cleanse: We Try Out Cooler Cleanse

I just finished a 3-day cooler cleanse based on SE review. I live in Boston, so it was pricey to have it shipped--but now that I'm done, totally worth the cost. I usually eat paleo-esque but over the xmas holidays i had a few xmas cookies...then some pasta and rice...and was pretty quickly into an "I don't care" mode.
This cleanse was perfect to get me back on track, the juices were really delicious and I feel much better. If I lived in NYC I'd still get the red juice and the almond and brazil nut juices, as they were my favorites. I missed caffeine most of all, and i am psyched to go back to "real" food--but real food being low-carbs, high protein, healthy food, not the processed sugary junk I was eating a few weeks ago.
This cleanse worked great for me, thanks SE for bringing it to my attention and reviewing it!

Black and White appetizer?

Thanks all for your great suggestions!!! Since the group meets at 7 and will have eaten dinner, i'm going with...@karmafreecooking's balsamic mushrooms and goat cheese ball, along with @cjmcd's idea of feta with black olives. For dessert, oreas (thanks again karmafreecooking) and @mminnyc's black bottom cupcakes.

My OTHER book group is now reading the same book, so i'll do the goat cheese on pumpernickel and some of the other apps you all suggested for that one as the food is more hearty. Definitely the celeraic soup shots with poppy seeds. Thanks again!
