Up until now, I was a cleanse virgin. I had thought about doing one, but having seen friends suffer through various juice-based cleanses over the years, I wasn’t fully convinced. But when I heard about Beaming and their organic plant-based food cleanse, I thought, now that’s a cleanse that makes sense.
Aloha Lovely received a 3-Day Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse in exchange for an honest opinion and review.
Next Level Healthy
I have been reducing how much sugar I consume over the past couple of months and have noticed quite the positive change in how I feel and look. Eating more whole foods and avoiding the hidden sugars found in pretty much everything on the grocery shelf has got me feeling the best I have in years. I was motivated to keep up the good eating habits and it seemed that a plant-based food cleanse like this would be the perfect complement to my new diet.
Aloha Beaming
While many cleanse and detox programs have you eliminate food altogether, the goal of cleansing should be to nourish your body rather than to starve it. Your body actually needs more nutrients, not less. So choosing a cleanse that combines juices with light plant-based foods and protein will help support your body with both the nutrients and energy required to properly cleanse and detoxify. Makes sense to me.
Beaming believes cleansing should be enjoyable (yes!). And they’ve partnered with some of the top holistic and raw food chefs to create both delicious and effective programs. Each program offers a menu of cold-pressed artisan juices, superfood smoothies, soups, salads, superfood elixirs
They have 9 Cafe locations in California where you can pick up your cleanse or they will ship it to you. I’m in Hawaii and there was no problem getting my cleanse shipped. The cleanse is separated by day, in insulated bags with these awesome little cooler packs. Mine was still chilled after its adventure over the Pacific!
My First Cleanse
My cleanse arrived on a Friday afternoon, so I started it on Saturday morning. I would be doing the cleanse for 3 days, finishing up Monday evening. Within the large box that arrived was three cute black cooler bags broken down by day. Here is a look at what comes in one day pack.
Each item is numbered in a suggested order of consuming. I stuck to the recommended order for the most part but you can vary as you see fit. Every day is packaged in a similar way, with some variation of juices, smoothies, and salads. Nothing lacks in flavor, let me make that clear! I had my favorites from each day, but overall I liked the menu.
What I Loved
- I never felt hungry throughout the cleanse. It is designed for you to eat or drink something every couple of hours and what was provided was more than enough.
- It’s not the kind of cleanse that makes you run to the bathroom every 5 minutes. This is a good thing!
- I was energized! Even without my morning coffee, I powered though the weekend with ease.
- My favorite items were the Vanilla Smoothies, the Zucchini Soup, the Protein Bites, the Chopped Salad
and the Radiance Juice. Yum!
What Could be Better
- I wish that you could completely customize your cleanse. I believe they can accommodate special dietary restrictions like allergies, but I don’t think you can pick and choose what you want. And I would
infact pay more to be able to customize to my personal tastes.
Tips
- Gradually reduce your caffeine intake the week before your cleanse. They actually advise you to do this but I didn’t listen. I ended up getting a massive headache on the first day. Although the husband thinks I had a sinus headache, I’m pretty convinced it was due to lack of coffee.
- Reduce your sugar intake as well. Just like coffee, going cold-turkey usually sucks.
- Maybe don’t plan a dinner out with friends while you’re on the cleanse. Ha! Seriously, we went out for my husband’s birthday and it was slightly depressing to watch everyone else indulge. At least everyone else got a good laugh at my expense ๐ But hey, I’m cool with that!
Results
After my 3-Day Beaming Lifestyle Cleanse I gotta say I felt pretty damn great! Did I have my morning cup of coffee on Tuesday morning? Hell
A big part of an organic plant-based food cleanse is helping you to reset and get on a better every-day wellness path. This kind of cleanse is not about losing a quick couple of pounds or fitting in a smaller size. It’s about gaining an awareness of what you are putting in your body so you can maintain healthier habits long-term to see greater advantages to your overall health.

March 7, 2019 at 8:08 AMThis sounds exactly like the cleanse I want to try! I donโt want to starve, but I wanna feel really healthy on the inside. Itโs awesome theyโll ship everywhere, but yeah customization would be nice too. And kudos to you for being able to go out to a restaurant with everyone! Haha I think Iโll have to avoid everyone for 3 days.

March 2, 2019 at 10:07 AMThose juices look amazing. The charcoal lemonade is speaking to me, somehow – lol. Iโm always trying to be more mindful of what I eat and I hope to try something like this in the near future!
Julie
March 3, 2019 at 5:30 AMThe charcoal lemonade was interesting for sure! Totally tasted just like lemonade but the absolutely black throws you off a bit. This cleanse is a great way to inspire you to be more mindful about what you put in your body. Aloha!

March 2, 2019 at 5:07 AMThis looks like an easy way to do a cleanse but I’d need the option to customize.
Julie
March 2, 2019 at 7:24 AMYes, I think that is the one option lacking a bit. I would pay more to customize and really love everything!
