Glow Bio Cleanse- 3rd and Final Day

We've officially completed our last day, Day 3 of Glow Bio's Level 1 Cleanse!

Read on for our hourly recap of Day 3, and check back next week for our final thoughts.

It was no surprise to wake up feeling just as great after 2 busy days of juicing. We've been going to bed full every night, so we don't wake up lusting for eggs and toast. We've noticed an increase in energy, and an overall feeling of happiness, knowing that everything we've consumed has been supplying our bodies with so many nutrients, and helping to get rid of our pre-cleanse toxins. We not only feel better, but we look better, too. Glow must get it's name because your skin really does start to glow! 

We were ready to drink our morning hot lemon water, and anxiously waited for 8am to roll around to pick up our final day's worth of juices. Our morning stop at Glow was just as fun today, and we admitted that we're probably going to miss our 8 am pick up when this is over. We just might have to keep coming in…Glow has tons of regulars who aren't necessarily cleansing, but are supplementing their diet with GGS or a healthy raw lunch or snack from the grab-n-go refrigerators. (Rumor has it that Glow is going to add a 3rd fridge full of goodies soon!) We're always surprised by how busy everyone is at Glow-- answering the phones, preparing shipments, explaining the juices and cleanses to customers, not to mention all of the chopping and juicing and blending and preparing that's going on right behind the counter. We took some photos of Day 3's morning action, paparazzi-style.

8.    GGS

(6:30am) We woke up feeling well-rested again, and excited to receive another day of juice. We noticed that we no longer felt any bloating in our body, and we could tell that after a couple of days of filling up with clean, green, healthy, nutrients that our insides were definitely more balanced. It was only natural to start our morning with another cup of hot lemon water. 

(8:15am) We were able to squeeze in a Pilates class and it felt amazing to be so in tuned with our bodies. We had no idea that this cleanse would make us feel so good on the inside, not to mention the benefits that show on the outside-- a flatter tummy and glowing skin! We headed straight to Glow after class. Glow has become our most frequented post Pilates hang out and we love picking up our juice every day. The day started with GGS. As you can see, it's so yummy that it doesn't last us very long...

(10:30am) Our morning flew right by and before we knew it, it was time for our first booster. The Beauty Shot was a new drink for us, and it was nothing like we expected! The dark blue, almost black, color was beautiful, no pun intended! And it's no wonder it's called the Beauty Shot- it provides so many B vitamins, omega fatty acids, and proteins that help nourish hair, skin, nails, and smile. It's full of the super-food spirulina as well. This booster had an interesting, but tasty, flavor. It was thicker than we expected, and like the Supreme Soother Booster, we had to shake this baby up a ton to mix up all the ingredients. 

(11:30am) We attended back to back meetings and made sure we came prepared with a cooler again. We enjoyed our GGS in between several glasses of water. It's so important to stay hydrated and even though you're drinking tons of greens throughout the day, it's still necessary to keep your water intake high as well to help flush out toxins.

(1:30pm) By 1:30 it was time to try yet another new juice! It's so exciting that even on Day 3 of a liquid-only diet we were able to enjoy new products and experience some variety during our cleanse. Today's lunch juice was Clean Red with Probiotics and it was so different from any other juice so far. According to Glow's Juice Specialist, Joanna, Clean Red is a "sweet detoxifying juice blend to help purify the blood". And it even looks good for your blood due to it's deep, rich, red color. It's loaded with antioxidants, calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamins A and C. We loved it and were happy to switch it up with something other than a green juice.

(3:30pm) Our cooler did a great job at keeping our juices and boosters fresh all day. We happily enjoyed a Supreme Soother booster during a little break from our afternoon workload. The Supreme Soother Booster has an intense flavor, but the turmeric and aloe grew on us and we almost wished the booster was a little bit bigger.

(4:00/4:30pm) The Active Vanilla Shake was next, and we waited almost an hour after the booster to open up this treat. This drink was one of our favorites and most filling smoothies from Day 1 and we were happy it was on the list for Day 3 too! By late afternoon we were getting hungry but the Active Vanilla Shake kept us going for the night. We sipped on this baby for a long time, savoring every sip/chew. It really made a difference when we physically chewed the smoothies instead of simply drinking them. Try it and you'll see what we're talking about.

(6:30pm) Another shot that we liked from Day 1 made a second appearance, the Debloater Shot. We noticed that this booster was doing its job and the sweet cranberry flavor was a plus.

(8:00pm) Just like clock-work, we were ready for our nightly GGS. This is something that we will definitely continue to drink post-clenase. Glow recommends drinking a GGS every day as an essential foundation of your healthy diet, and we couldn't agree more. 

The past 3 days were truly such a great experience, and were unexpectedly so much fun! We feel the difference in our bodies and in our minds, and we've learned so much about the Glow Bio Process along the way. We'll be reporting back next week with the Pros and Cons of Glow Bio's cleanse... and we have a feeling we'll start our day with another GGS, just for fun. :)
