Cleansing Recap

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
