This post brought to you by Kaeng Raeng. All opinions are 100% mine.
I wasn't sure what to expect from using a detox system. For one thing, I just 'knew' I'd probably spend the three days miserable and starving. I was really worried that I wouldn't have the willpower to complete my first day, let alone three! It turned out to be a better experience than I had expected. Kaeng Raeng has proven itself to be an affordable, delicious and super convenient cleanse option.
Detox Day One:
Being the last minute procrastinator that I am, I needed to make a run to the store so I could start the detox. I grabbed a handful of carrots and a mug of hot organic green tea and headed out. After dropping my son off at college and navigating 20 minutes of road construction, I made it to the store and stocked up on fresh and frozen raw fruits and veggies — the Kaeng Raeng cleanse system doesn't want you to starve to death while cleansing. It allows you to eat your heart's desire of raw fruits and veggies, along with the daily smoothies packs.
10 more minutes of waiting in road construction and a short drive later, I had made it home and whipped up my first Kaeng Raeng Smoothie. I had found a link on the website to a .99 ebook on Amazon, it included several smoothie recipe ideas and a general introduction to the system. The first smoothie I tried, was the Juu Juu For You Smoothie. This combines one packet of Kaeng Raeng Juu Juu, 24 oz of water, 1/2 a cup of Orange Juice, 1/2 of a Banana and a 1/2 cup of frozen Blackberries.
Now, I hadn't thought about just how much liquid there is in 24 ounces. Add in the fruits and each package makes a HUGE glass (pitcher?) of smoothie. I was full before I was half done with that first one! Call me crazy, but I felt like I had a ton of energy all day — even though I hadn't had one cup of coffee!
Detox Day Two:
Day two started off harder than day one. woke up with a headache and I'm not sure if it's because I hadn't had any coffee in over 24 hours, or maybe I didn't drink enough water on Day One. In any case, I suffered through it and really focused on drinking more water throughout the day. My headache finally went away around dinner time, so I'm thinking it was a bit of dehydration.
My favorite Kaeng Raeng smoothie of Day Two was the Delicious Daybreak, using a packet of Kaeng Raeng Daybreak mixed with 24oz water, 1/2 a cup of Orange Juice, a small Banana and 1/2 a cup of frozen Strawberries. For Dinner, I ate a big plate of raw veggies — romaine hearts, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, carrot, snow peas, and spinach topped with 1 tsp natural walnut pieces and 1/2 cup of smashed raspberries. I love salad and eat a lot of it, but this one tasted sooo good after a day of nothing but water and smoothies!
Detox Day Three:
Day three was, not surprisingly, the easiest. Drinking my mug of organic green tea was satisfying and my coffee craving wasn't as intense. The favorite Smoothie of the day was the Antioxidant Plus with a packet of Kaeng Raeng Juu Juu, 24 oz water, 1/2 a cup of Pomegranate juice and 1/2 a cup of frozen Mixed Berries. I wasn't hungry at all and I enjoyed eating fresh green pepper ans snap peas along with a veggie salad for dinner, again topped with a raw raspberry dressing.
Conclusion:
I was interested in trying the Kaeng Raeng system for a few reasons. First, the system is customizable for each person, and is available in a 3-day or 6-day program — in three different levels. Cleansers can choose from Beginner, Veteran and Master levels. If you are unsure about which level to start with, there is a simple quiz to help guide you.
I also was happy to hear that Kaeng Raeng is animal free, plus a portion of every single sale goes to an animal protection organization. This is a great way to feel good about helping yourself, and animals in need.
And, one more reason this product appealed to me is the fact that Kaeng Raeng has no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, no laxatives and no stimulants. It's also a soy free product and the ingredients to make Kaeng Raeng are sourced locally from California Farmers.

I have been eating so badly lately that I have seriously been considering doing a cleanse!!
Juices and smoothies are my FAVORITE way to detox. Delish!
Those smoothies would be a great way to detox. I like this
These drinks are beautiful! I am not sure I would have the will power to do this…
Ah, I need a good detox AND some energy. I want to try this!
I need to detox immediately! Thanks for the inspiration.
I could totally commit to a 3 day detox! So many are 7 or 30 days! Looks like a great line of products!
I’d like to do a post-baby cleanse – to kick start getting “ME” back and to keep it healthy for breast- feeding!
I’ve never done a cleanse before. I would love to try something to kick the cravings I have (mostly for sugar and caffeine.)
I want to try the cleanse because I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time — about 15 years now — but I want to go fully vegan. This would be a good way to start.
I need to do a cleanse sooner rather than later. Maybe I’ll give this one a try. Thanks for the review!
I remember when I first quit caffeine, I had a migraine off and on for two weeks. It was brutal. Now I’ve been caffeine free for three years. I could live off of smoothies and fresh fruit.
I’d love to try this! I have never done a cleanse before but have heard great things.
I’ve been wanting to try a detox/juice cleanse for a while. This one looks like the smoothies actually taste good! Thanks so much for sharing!
natural cleanses are always good. I am due one soon
I did my first cleanse ever in April and felt so refreshed and re-energized afterward. It was a ten day cleanse. I’d love to try a three day cleanse.
I have never done a detox but I have thought about it many times. I really would like to gain more energy.
I have never done a cleanse or detox. I just eat healthy, but I am a sucker for a good old smoothy. Looks great.
I have never done a claense. This is something I would like to try.
I have never tried a detox before, but it does sound interesting. Especially if I can do it by drinking yummy smoothies!
I’ve heard good things about cleanses. I’d like to try this one!
i think i need do a cleanse to kick start my body into realizing that healthier eating is going to be good for it. kind of a clean(er) slate for me.
I think it’s a good thing to empty out the system now and then. I’m a little scared of them, but I might try sometime.
because i tryed other detoxers and they didn’t work verywell and spent alot of money doing it. I think this will be better and healther
I’ve done a juice detox but not a smoothie one. This looks super interesting, though I just can’t give up my coffee!
I like that this was only 3 days. A smoothie a day is the way to go!
i want to try it because i love smoothies
i like Kaeng Raeng on Facebook as Petite Pilates Pixie https://www.facebook.com/kaengraeng
I need to give this a try – I know I need a detox!
I’ve never tried a cleanse but adore smoothies. If that’s all it takes, maybe I should consider it!
I have not tried a cleanse before. I may try one though as I think they can help you.
I’ve been wanting to try a cleanse and this once actually sounds good!
I’ve always been curious to try a cleanse but there are so many out there! I think a Vegan cleanse wouldn’t be TOO harsh on my already sensitive body so I’d love to give it a try, especially with such delicious looking smoothies that are offered!
I like that they don’t use animal products too. I have detox tea and the first day I took it I got the flu (the real flu, which I thought for some reason I wouldn’t get, even though everyone else had it). I keep saying I’m going to start again but haven’t yet. Soon… :)
I\’m really impressed that it doesn\’t include a ton of that artificial junk or preservatives. I\’ve been considering doing a detox so I was excited to read your review.
I really need to do a a detox! A few friends and I are talking about starting one in a few weeks!
This cleans sounds doable! Thanks for the review. It is always goo to know if things like this really work.
I need to do a detox soon. I’d love to cleanse and get rid of toxins and the fact that this is not tested on animal and so artificially chemical free makes me happy!
I would like to try a vegan cleanse since we have been on vacation and did not eat the healthiest foods.
Thanks,I had been considering doing some type of detox. I will have to check this out!
I know a few people that have dome a cleanse. They were quite pleased.
I have been researching cleanses lately. I love that this one has different stages! That’s so helpful. I might have to check it out. Thanks for your review.
I would love to try this detox because I want more energy throughout the day. I think this will be a more healthier detox than other pill/powder detoxes I’ve tried.
This looks great, I love making smoothies already and this will hopefully keep me healthy for years to come.
Why do I want to do a cleanse like this? Because I confess, I put on TEN pounds over the winter and my body is telling me in no uncertain terms that I messed up. I’m in a bad pattern and I’m getting back on track and I’m interesting in a cleanse like this.
I’ve never done a clenase and my doctor has advised against it. The flavors sound good though, if you’re going to do one it should taste good.
I have never done a cleanse. They seem to be gaining in popularity over the past few years.
Those fruits look so delicious! And Kaeng Raeng sounds like an excelent option for detox.
I love trying new things and I love smoothies:)
I would love to try it because my sister has tried a vegan cleanse & she loves the way she feels.
I like to do a detox every once in a while and since I have tried a vegan detox, this sounds like a great opportunity.
I have never done a cleanse and am probably due for one!
Ive never done a cleanse. Would love to try!
I believe in cleanses and I know they work. I have never tried this one though so that would be awesome to win!
I would love to take the necessary steps to living a healthier lifestyle.
Why I need this cleanse is.. it has been a loooong winter and I feel like crud has filled my body
I need to detox immediately! Thanks for the inspiration.
I want to try a Vegan Cleanse as after watching your videos I realize just how much better I will feel both mentally and physically.
i already have stomach problems so i should probably try a cleanse
