clean start: the Kaeng Raeng cleanse
Ok, it’s a new year and I’ve gone down the list: my room is de-cluttered, my car’s been washed, I cleaned out my makeup bag, and I’m finally financially organized.
While I’m cleaning out my lifestyle, why not cleanse my body as well? After reading a blog called The Kind Life, I decided to rid my body of nasty toxins with a cleanse called Kaeng Raeng – a nutritional meal replacement detox program.
The cleanse helps to peel off pounds, relieve bloating, improve digestion, boost immunity, enhance energy, and give you that natural glow. It’s totally vegan, gluten free, and caffeine free. It was kind of pricy, but it seemed well worth it. I mean, it is my body.
I’m only on day 2, but so far I feel great. In the past when I’ve attempted a cleanse, I never got past day 1. With this one, all I have to do is drink one meal replacement pouch 3 times a day for 3 or 6 days. I chose 6 days — I’m going all out. I’m also allowed to eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as I want!
Each pouch contains more than a full serving of fruit and fiber, 15g of lean non-GMO protein, 2 billion live probiotic cultures, essential amino acids, and daily vitamins. The drinks don’t taste as bad as I thought they would, I’m actually able to satisfy myself — I wasn’t expecting that. I’ve also lost 3 pounds and noticed that my skin is clearer…and its only day 2!
Wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted!

Hi Jen!
My degree is in dietetics so I’m not personally a fan of any detox or cleanse program because I believe you can get everything you need from real food! While products like these offer some great things- nothing can compete with the bio availability and ratio of nutrients that nature provides.
With that said, healthy eating, adequate hydration, and exercise all can help remove toxins (the body is amazing at removing toxins through the kidneys, lungs, lymph, and liver!), and make the skin clear and hydrated.
It’s important to know that after cleanses, some may put back the weight (which was usually just water weight that was lost during a restriction), skin may become less clear, etc. because eating these nutrients and getting adequate hydration should be a life-long endeavor- not something for a few days/months for life long beauty and health. = )
Yours in health and future dietitian,
