Great Vegan Cleanse



 I discovered Kaeng Raeng on twitter from Kim Barnouin author of one of my favorite books, "Skinny Bitch". I immediately looked up KR (Kaeng Raeng) and found the website very interesting. What I liked about KR was that I would be able to eat all the raw vegetables and fruits that I wanted while on the cleanse. KR website said that it taste like a Jamba Juice so I had a idea that this product would taste good. I ordered it that day and received it within a week! Fast shipping.

 Along with the KR Veteran kit, I also ordered the reuseable bottle. Its a great size bottle not only to use for your KR juice but to use for a water bottle when you head to the gym. The only problem about the bottle that I didn't like was its hard to drink out of without it almost spilling all out. Drinking out of it while driving wouldn't be the best idea. I used my long reusable straw that came with my Starbucks reuseable cup that I purchased from Starbucks awhile ago. A easy open sip lid like on those thermal coffee  mugs would be a good idea for the bottle. The powder packets are so nice and convenient. All individually packed by each serving amount.

 Day 1
KR contains alot of liquid as they stated in their website and as I experienced myself when I made my first smoothie. I made it with 32oz of liquid. First packet I tried was the Juu Juu "Into the blue". It smells really good, the smell of it reminded me of banana baby food. I had the Reunn "Joyful" later during the day and as I opened the packet I could smell each fruit that was in it. With the Reunn, i added only 24oz of liquid and enjoyed it much better. They taste GREAT! If i could compare the taste of them to a product, I would relate the taste to those "Naked or Odwalla" juice drinks. During the day I drank water with chia seeds.

Day 3
 My last day of the cleanse. I feel good and the only craving that I really have are for udon noodles for some odd reason. I really enjoyed my KR Glai Roong today because I added more Organic Lemonade then water. Yummy! I have tried the KR juice with just water and I don't like it as much.

Day 4
 I completed the 3 day cleanse!!! This morning I went to the store and thought I would be wanting to eat a pizza and french fries which are my favorite but that wasn't the case. I headed straight towards the produce and grabbed mangos, avocados, squash, and cabbage. Kaeng Raeng really did help with reducing my cravings for "bad" food choices and I wanted to eat whole foods as if I was still on the cleanse. KR is also a great way to jump start a weight loss plan as they said online. Today I ate steamed cabbage and squash with hoisin sauce in the day time and I had avocado and cabbage later in the day. Overall I am very satisfied with Kaeng Raeng and will do the cleanse again. Their website is also very informative.
