Shakeology 3 day Cleanse Information

The Shakeology cleanse is not like the Master Cleanse and it is not like fasting. It’s a nutrient dense way of eating for three days (max) that allows your body to run through a “wash cycle” of sorts. The clean, simple, easy to digest food allows the body to process any waste and the fiber in the salad and shakes act like a towel in your system for a squeaky clean start to your diet or to break a plateau. This is a performance cleanse, so it’s meant to still allow the individual the energy and nutrition to still workout and function.



You get around 800-1200 calories a day (depending on fruit intake) if you follow the plan, so you won’t be a zombie for three days. At the same time, there are not enough carbs to fuel an intense workout so only do this cleanse on recovery weeks/days. The cleanse can also be modified to 1 or 2 days to fit your liking or schedule.

The basics are as follows:
3 Shakeology Shakes a day
You’ll need 9 servings so you can split an order of Shakelogy (24-30 servings) between 3 people for only $40 each instead of the full price.
2 Cups of Green Tea a Day (Triple Leaf Detox Tea is a good one, but my local store didn’t have it so I just got a decaf green tea)
1+ piece of fruit a day (optional, to fit your calorie needs)
1 big leafy salad for dinner (with only white grilled protein in salad)
NO DAIRY (or almond, soy, or rice milk) and NO EXTRA SUGARS
Only Low Fat Dressings.
You can put your 2 snacks before/after any of the MAJOR MEALS – Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

So each day of the cleanse would look something like this:

WAKE-UP:
1 cup of green tea (Triple Leaf Detox Tea is a good one)

BREAKFAST:
1 scoop Shakeology with water and ice (140 calories)
½ cup of fruit (60-90 calories) OPTIONAL

SNACK:
1 piece of fruit (85 calories)
- Apple, pear, orange, banana mango, etc

LUNCH:
1 scoop Shakeology with water and ice (140 calories)

MID-DAY:
1 cup of green tea

SNACK:
(either snack here or after dinner one or the other)
1 scoop Shakeology with water and ice (140 calories)

DINNER:
Salad with grilled white fish or poultry (340 calories)
