Glow Pros and Cons
It’s officially been a week since we completed the Glow Bio
3 Day, Level 1 Cleanse and we are so happy to have found this place! The Glowing Green Smoothie (GGS) is the best
way to start our day! As promised, we’ve listed our final thoughts on the
cleanse in our list of pros and cons below. We hope you’ve been able to
experience Glow with us, and at the very least, that you’ll stop by and grab a
juice or smoothie after your next Pilates Platinum class.
PROS
-Glow’s cleanse
offers different drinks every day, so you’re never bored, and your body is
constantly surprised by new healthy drinks, smoothies, and boosters. This keeps
the cleanse exciting and you don’t feel like you’re being punishing with a
boring juice-only routine like most cleanses.
-The juices are
neatly packaged and labeled, and the cleanse order is extremely easy to follow.
It’s equally as convenient to pick up your box everyday, or have the juices
delivered to your house. You’ll get your daily dose- no excuses!
-Glow’s website,
staff, and cleanse guide are really informative, and if you have any questions
along the way, the Cleanse Specialist is right there to help you with anything
you need. It’s like your very own personal cleansing support group!
-EVERYTHING is
delicious.
-Your body feels
better, instantly. By day 3, we felt like we could keep going and going because
we felt an overwhelming sense of clarity in our mind and body. They don’t call
it Glow for nothing.
-The shop offers raw
food and snacks, and even sweets, made daily and pre-packaged so it’s easy to
transition out of the cleanse with several healthy, raw, and delicious meal
options.
CONS
-There comes a point
somewhere towards the middle of Day 2 when you really miss chewing actual food.
Sure, chewing the smoothies helps a little bit, but a liquids-only diet doesn’t
quite feel the same to your teeth.
-For caffeine
addicts, not having any coffee during the cleanse may be a bummer. We were
super surprised to find out that we didn’t miss coffee one bit! For most of us,
getting our daily coffee tends to be more about that specific part of our
routine, and not an addiction to the coffee itself. Drinking the juices on
schedule helped fill our day and we didn’t think about our cup (or two) of Joe
at all.
-If you’re on a
budget, juicing can get expensive. Glow’s prices are comparative to most juice
cleanses, but you actually receive much more nutrients than competitive juice
brands. If the cleanse option doesn’t work for your budget, we suggest trying a
1 day cleanse to see how you feel before committing to spending a whole 3 or 5
days’ worth. You can also incorporate a portion of the cleanse into your diet
by choosing only a couple of juices or smoothies a day to supplement your diet
without spending a ton. Introducing just one GGS to your day is a perfect way
to benefit from Glow’s nutritious products without breaking the bank.
A huge thank you to everyone at Glow Bio, and especially to our
favorite Cleanse Specialist, Joanna! You have inspired us to make healthy
choices and we’re still glowing from last week’s cleanse. J
