3-Day Refresh Cleanse

I got a sweet holiday surprise - my box of Shakeology came with a 3-day Refresh cleanse. Kudos to Jen, my BeachBody coach. After doing a happy dance, I adjusted the day's meal plan to accommodate a spontaneous gentle cleanse.

It all started with vanilla Shakeology - a.k.a. nutritional happiness in a cup. But seriously, vanilla is my favorite flavor. It's a great base to add other ingredients to the mix, like berries or Nutella. Today I kept it simple and went with coconut/almond mix and banana. The underlying taste of vanilla Shakeology is reminiscent of cake, so I call my morning blend "Cakeology." Another happy dance ensued. 

At the end of the day, the onset of my cleanse went well. I had a moment of forgetting about Refresh and nibbled on a snack at work. The snack was super healthy, coconut almond awesomeness dipped in dark chocolate, so a nibble didn't feel like a fail.

 

I had more shakes during the day, salad and salmon oat hash. Lots of water and because it's an off day for exercise, no PiYo. Tomorrow I'll start my 30-days of PiYo to build flexibility and all that jazz.
