The Truth About Belly Fat

3-Day Shakeology Cleanse Meal Plan


What Do You Need For The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

Here’s your shopping list so that you can get started with the Shakeology 3 day cleanse. This is exactly what you need and as I’ve mentioned before, I highly advise that you get everything and follow the program to a T.
shakeology 

1. Bag Of Shakeology. You’ll need to go ahead and get yourself a bag of Shakeology by clicking here. . This is a 30 day bag. You will want to finish the rest of the bag, after the cleanse...with replacing one meal a day with Shakeology, for the best results. Also, I recommend that when you order your Shakeology that you get it on the Home Direct aka Auto Ship plan. You will get free shipping (saves $10+) and be saving a ton of money by doing that and you’ll also get free stuff. If you would like to cancel the auto ship at any time, I can help you with that.

2. Green Tea. You can buy individual bags of green tea at just about any grocery store. I recommend getting the natural and organic green tea tea bags. You’ll need at least 6 tea bags. I personally LOVE Bigelow Green Tea, that I get from Sams Club!

3. Fruit (optional). This is optional, but if you need the added calories, then you’ll need to have some fruit that you enjoy such as apples, oranges, bananas, pears, etc. You’ll want to have enough so that you can eat 1 or 2 pieces of fruit per day.

4. Salad. I recommend that you avoid the iceberg lettuce and just buy a bag of the “darker green” lettuce. Iceberg lettuce has a very low nutrient density and it’s really just like eating water. So get a bag of spinach leaves or other darker green salad.

5. Chicken Or Fish (optional). This is also optional, but when I do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse it won’t be optional for me. If you decide to get this, you’ll need enough for 3 dinners to either go on top of your salad or with your salad. Obviously it needs to be natural, white grilled with no additives (nothing fried).

Good luck!  Feel Great!
