So the Refresh... I promised to be honest... Honestly? This was TREMENDOUSLY hard for me! I was starving, dizzy at times, and overall pretty miserable. Of course, to be fair, I was injured and about to start my PMS week, but still, I don't think this cleanse is for me. The nice thing? I did end up losing 3 pounds in three days.
So the Refresh consists of a series of several drinks:
Shakeology:
Vanilla Fresh:
and the Fiber Sweep:
It also incorporates some fruits and veggies and healthy fats. I was boring for dinner and just ate the same thing all three days (spinach salad), but some of the other recipes looked interesting as well.
Shakeo was, of course, amazing. I was terrified of the Fiber Sweep because I had quite frankly heard horror stories about the taste and texture. However, it really wasn't that bad. Have you ever finished a box of cereal and had all the crumbs at the end? That's what it tasted like.
My issue - if I had an issue outside of the way I felt - was with the Vanilla Fresh. I had a hard time getting it down, and unfortunately, you had to drink it twice a day. It just had a funny aftertaste to me.
All in all, was the Refresh effective? Yes. Would I do it again? Most likely not. But it was a learning experience!
