KAENG RAENG CLEANSE

Kaeng Raeng means, “Be Healthy, Be Strong”. It’s an incredibly easy-to-do cleanse, which I actually thoroughly enjoyed (which can’t be said for most cleanses.). Juice cleanses have been so ubiquitous now that you’re almost the odd-one-out if you haven’t done one. I’m not personally a fan of a juice-only cleanse. It doesn’t do it for me- the thought of just drinking and not chewing for 1 day, let alone 3, fills me with horror. I have teeth and I like to use them! I’ve also done some other very complicated cleanses, which do include food, but that also include a lot of commitment to eating specific foods, and downing all kinds of herbs etc. Suffice to say that the mere thought of a cleanse isn’t that attractive to me. However, I do think that some kind of a digestive cleanse is a good thing. To clear out your digestive system, and put in some mega-nutrients and pro-biotics can’t do any harm, right?

When Kaeng Raeng appeared on my doorstep, I thought that it was perhaps just another smoothie meal-replacement kind of deal, but it isn’t. It’s a vegan gluten-free cleanse/meal replacement system, whereby you can use the smoothies to replace all, some or none of your meals. They recommend that you do 3 smoothies per day and supplement with raw fruits and veggies. Let me tell you – this is really DOABLE! First off, the smoothies themselves are made from you are getting 8-0unces of fresh fruit, 19 grams of non-GMO soy protein, and 2 billion CFU’s of vegan probiotics, plus a full serving of veggie fiber. Each smoothie contains less than 240 calories.

I don’t wish to lose weight, so I drank my smoothies and just ate my regular healthy diet (a bit less than I normally do,) but if you want to shed a few pounds, stick to their guidelines and you will.

The cool thing about the smoothies is that all you need do is add water and/or a little apple juice. The taste is perfect for me – not too sweet (I detest smoothie mixes that add a ton of sweetener like Stevia). You don’t even need a blender – you can just vigorously shake it up in a reusable water bottle, or smoothie-shaker mug. You will feel full after one serving, and probably won’t want to eat, which is a good thing if you want to shed a few pounds. You can also grab a sample packet for 7 bucks to see if you like it, before fully committing.
