Detox cleansing is a popular solution for people looking to improve their overall health, energy level and skin tone. You may be asking… what is a detox cleanse? Basically, how it works is this: For a short period of time, you slowly eliminate all the unhealthy meals in your diet (ie. animal products and processed foods) and replace them with healthy alternatives, such as fruits and vegetables through delicious vitamin-and-herb-infused smoothies. In the process, toxins from previous unhealthy eating are flushed out of your body and replaced with proper nutrients.
So now you know what a detox cleanse is… wondering how to make it easy on yourself? Thankfully, there are many pre-made detox options including Kaeng Raeng’s natural detox cleanse. Based out of California, Kaeng Raeng is an all natural, vegan, and gluten-free detox cleanse available for three or six day cleansing. A Kaeng Raeng detox cleanse consists of smoothie packets that blend with water, soy milk, juice, fruit, or veggies.
Don’t expect to suffer through your detox cleansing at all…each smoothie packet blended with the ingredients above creates a yummy and healthy meal replacement. Plus, all ingredients are 100% natural and produced locally in California.
Urbanette recently met with Kaeng Raeng’s founder and CEO, Lindsay Reinsmith to talk about detox cleansing and her company’s passion for helping people live healthier lives.
Urbanette Magazine: What is your advice for people who may be new to detox cleansing?
Lindsay Reinsmith: Find a cleanse that works with your lifestyle. So often people give up on the master cleanse or a juice fast because it is too difficult to make work with their daily lives. You can get great results in just 3 days; you do not need to commit 15 or 30 days to completing a detox program. If you get hungry, eat food! If you need to be around friends and family who are eating food, then eat food! Don’t starve yourself for no reason. Find a cleanse that fits with your life.
Urbanette: Are there any recommendations you have for maintaining wellness during the cleansing process?
Lindsay: During any cleanse program the number one tip for success is hydration. I don’t know about you, but I constantly forget to drink water throughout the day. While cleansing, it’s even more important. Dehydration can cause not only ongoing health problems, but also detox withdrawal symptoms when you abstain from your traditional diet. Always make sure you’re getting your daily 64oz of water in addition to any cleanse program you do. You may have to urinate a lot, but it’s worth it!
Urbanette: If you had one detox cleansing smoothie to drink forever, what would it be?
Lindsay: I mix Kaeng Raeng’s soy free “into the blue” in a blender with water, 1/4 cup of celery juice, 1/4 cup of orange juice, a heaping handful of spinach, a tsp of spirulina, and 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries. YUM. That smoothie gets you 16g of protein, 13g of fiber, 2 billion live cultures, daily vitamins, and it will keep you full for HOURS.
Urbanette: What was your inspiration for creating Kaeng Raeng?
Lindsay: For as long as I can remember, I had a tough time staying healthy. I think like so many other women out there, I struggled to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a hectic work and family schedule. I wanted an easy and healthy way to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle that wasn’t impossible to do, or overly expensive.
When I discovered raw vegan diets, I knew there had to be a convenient way to bring the benefits of raw foods and filling smoothies to the market in a shelf stable form. I also had unique insight into what makes beverage companies succeed and fail while working as a financial adviser to consumer products companies. I knew what I had created was special and felt inspired to share my formula and my mission with others.
Urbanette: Why is Thai culture so crucial to the Kaeng Raeng principles?
Lindsay: Here at Kaeng Raeng, we’re all about vegetarianism and encouraging others to embrace an animal free diet, even for just three days. Taking a short break from eating animals not only cleanses your body, but also your soul. I was inspired by both Thai culture and cuisine focused on the vegetarian lifestyle and how to bring that spirit to our customers.
I am personally very passionate about animal rescue and encourage our customers to explore the wonderful world of adopting your next best friend. In keeping with our values, we donate a portion of every sale to animal rescue organizations.

I’m so fascinated with cleanses. I don’t want to starve myself though so this Kaeng Raeng is really interesting.
I really love Kaeng Raeng. I really think that it makes a difference when I drink it. It’s hard to explain but I just feel “lighter” and just overall better. My energy levels get back to normal, I don’t feel lethargic despite being busy for the entire day. I also feel very refreshed. To sum it up, it works. Okay?
Kaeng Raeng tastes really good. I actually don’t feel starved taking it, compared to other cleanses that made me feel dizzy and really hungry. I have an active lifestyle so having very little calories or nutrition in my body per day can make or break my productivity at work. I don’t want to feel fatigued just because I’m cleansing my body for a healthier me. Anyway, I really love Kaeng Raeng. I use it at least a few times in a month to keep my body detoxed.
Really? I’m scared that it will make me feel sick because I won’t be eating anything else other than this smoothie.
I have the same issue… can never think of what I want to eat!
I've got to try this! I'm a model, so I'm always on the go. This sounds perfect for me. Ordering now 🙂
I love this interview-article. I also commend the way it was concluded — providing a list of foods that detox. I believe I would really need to “Supplement, Eliminate and Re-Evaluate.”
I tried the master cleanse and wound up passed out on the floor within 24 hours. No joke. Needless to say, that was my last attempt at any sort of cleanse (other than eating healthy most of the time, which seems like an ongoing cleanse in and of itself). I like how Lindsay takes a more realistic approach to things and doesn't encourage you to cleanse in extreme ways. I'd love to give these a try!
I must try this. I like the fact that she's being realistic with this diet. She's not encouraging people to starve themselves but also promoting a healthier lifestyle. Detoxing for weeks is very difficult to keep up with. The company itself shows that they have a strong mission by donating a portion of proceeds to animal rescues. I love that! A company with a cause!
I love the values that she based her company on. When a company has strong, good values that they express blatantly through their products, it can become more attractive because you want to support those ideals as well. It's also super convenient that it's only for 3 days, because it's usually much longer!
I keep Kaeng Raeng smoothie packets around as a meal replacement. If I'm hungry but can't think of what I want to eat, I just blend one of the packets with a banana and some frozen organic fruit and in about 2 minutes I have a yummy meal ready to go. 🙂
