Hi Lauren! 100% of our sugar is naturally occurring from the raw fruit and vegetable juices, nuts, seeds, and spices. We never use added or refined sweeteners. It's a common misunderstanding that because refined sugars are unhealthy, the same must apply to the naturally occurring sugars found in fruits and vegetables, and this is untrue. Because we do not pasteurize or HPP our juices, all of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are available for your body to easily absorb and help slow down the rate at which the naturally occurring sugars enter the bloodstream. Sugars and carbs from raw, unpasteurized fruit and veggies are totally healthy, as well as beneficial to the body and weight loss.

If you are still concerned about the sugar, our Lower Sugar cleanse and Lower Sugar Cleanse flavors (in the Build a Box) are available as well 😊
“My husband and I enjoyed the protein cleanse for a few days and then he broke out in a terrible rash all over, his throat started itching and mouth swelling. After two DR visits, a steroid shot, two different oral steroids, a steroid cream, Benadryl, and lots of hydrocortisone cream... We discovered that people sensitive to poison ivy will have an extreme allergic reaction to raw, unprocessed cashews. This is a disclaimer that TRULY needs to be addressed and could have been tragic had we not taken it seriously and addressed it immediately. I did appreciate that they cancelled my subscription without fulfilling the second shipment and the flavors were good. But, unfortunately we learned the hard way that unprocessed, raw cashews can cause serious allergic reactions!”
“I did the 7 day Protein cleanse. My experience was great! I found that I had to move my drinks to the refridgerator to be ready to drink 2 days in advanced because they were so frozen solid. The Peanut butter protein drink didn't taste very good and for the 2 days I drank it, my stomach wasn't feeling well afterwards. I didn't drink the rest of them so I was only drinking 5 a day, which was fine and I wasn't very hungry anyway. Would recommend that Raw Generation look at the recipe for the peanut butter drink and see what they could do to improve it. Outside of that I would recommend this. I had done the skinny cleanse before and seemed always hungry, the protein in this cleanse made me less hungry. Overall 4/5”
“After starting with the skinny cleanse, we transitioned to the protein cleanse due to our moderately active lifestyle. The flavors are delightful, and the shakes are satisfyingly filling. Plus, now we enjoy the convenience of an auto monthly shipment.”
“The juices and protein shakes were delicious. I found drinking them still somewhat frozen (slushy) enhanced the flavor. I lost 4 pounds over the 3 days and still did moderate workouts (500 calorie burn max). I did eat at least two apples, a banana and raw veggies every day. I needed crunch.”
“I loved this cleanse, I lost 8lbs. The only reason I am leaving 4 stars is because the Vanilla Cashew smoothie was too spicy because of the cinnamon. It was the only drink out of the pack that I couldn't get down, I only drank 1 out of the 3. Otherwise it was great and I felt great afterwards! I even signed up for autoship. Hopefully the next shipment I get the Vanilla Cashew won't be as spicy.”
