Proven Plant-Based Programs

I definitely learned that I don’t need sugar or caffeine. And I didn’t miss it as much as I thought I would.

My sleep score jumped up an average of 10 points during the cleanse.

That I can make lifestyle changes and still enjoy delicious food.

The first few days do feel hard but then it just becomes routine.

Best thing I learned and now practice is prepping my smoothies for the week.

That’s such a time saver!

Definitely a confidence booster to know I can do hard things. Empowers me to try hard things in other areas of life.

Although these smoothies were meant to be for breakfast, I used them for lunch. The smoothies we had been making had good, nutritious ingredients, they were routine and uninspiring. The ingredients included in the challenge were very unique and also nutritious and scrumptious.

I’ve always been a health conscious eater. I have been eating mostly plant based since 2019. I do eat fish a couple times per week. Joining Rawk the Year has helped me to increase my fruit and vegetable intake. I love to do the cleanses. I tend to eat a lot of my meals on repeat and the cleanse recipes are so delicious, fun and different! I enjoy the versatility with being able to swap foods that don’t work for me in the recipes. I have Multiple Sclerosis, A-fib, and Hashimoto’s. Changing how I ate helped with managing all of those issues. Eating 100% plant based makes me feel even better. I always learn something new about myself and about food when I do a cleanse. After the cleanse is over, I am more disciplined in my eating habits and hydration. When I look back over the last three weeks, I am proud of what I accomplished. All of the food prep is very taxing on my energy, but having leftovers is the saving grace!

I can’t believe that I’m able to give up sugar for three weeks! I would not have believed it possible before doing the Rawk the Year cleanses. The food is filling and satisfying. I must admit I did have an oatmeal raisin cookie on Sunday and it tasted fabulous! 😊

Thank you Jen (and team) for sharing your inspiration and encouraging others to find their passion.

Honestly, many plant-based recipes look decidedly like similar mish-mashes at best or unappetizing and unappealing at worst. I absolutely loved almost all of the recipes and was challenged to use some ingredients that I was unfamiliar with. I am a light eater so found that I had too much food to get to all the recipes and wasted some ingredients because of that, so I was glad that meals repeated. I did try to minimize the use of oils; and because I eat very little, I found it difficult to eat enough protein.

After cooking for decades, the decision of what to cook had gotten to be an agonizing chore. Having the decisions made was wonderful, along with the grocery and prep lists, but I will admit that prep was daunting; sometimes I just did it over more than one day.

I’ve dabbled with plant-based eating before, but wandered aimlessly through endless materials. This was a guilt-free, no-judgment structured approach that leads you through the basics with clarity and compassion. Now I can take it as far as I’d like and will continue with the system until I feel confident in my skills, my choices, and the durability of my commitment.
