In 2013, the Bedtime Belly Buster, or BBB, took the Isagenix world by storm. An Isagenix Associate-inspired creation, the BBB developed as a convenient way to help maintain a healthy body weight.†

Now, we’ve created an easy, step-by-step guide for how the BBB works and how to use it.

Officially, the BBB now consists of core components: IsaPro™ , Sleep Support & Renewal™ spray, and Isagenix Fruits™ or Isagenix Greens™. Depending on your goals, complementary products such as IsaOmega™, FiberPro™ (mixed in), and a Complete Essentials™ Daily Pack are commonly taken with the BBB for an extra kick of nutrients before bed.

Core Components: 

  • Vanilla or Chocolate IsaPro
  • Sleep Support and Renewal
  • Isagenix Fruits or Isagenix Greens

Complementary Products: 

  • IsaOmega
  • Fiber Pro
  • Complete Essentials Daily Pack

With its multiple components, the BBB can be used to help maintain a healthy body weight†. Beyond being a great way to satisfy an after-dinner sweet tooth, the science behind why the combination works is pretty straightforward.

IsaPro: IsaPro comes in two delicious flavors, Chocolate and Vanilla, which give you that sweet sensation without the empty calories, fat, and sugar.

Isagenix Fruits or Isagenix Greens: Containing 1 gram of sugar, Isagenix Fruits and Isagenix Greens add flavor to the BBB without many extra calories. In addition, it provides some valuable phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables. While traditionally the BBB is used with Vanilla IsaPro and Isagenix Fruits, the combination of the new IsaPro Chocolate and Greens is also becoming a favorite.

For a bedtime regimen, adding products such as the IsaOmega and FiberPro is an easy way to customize the BBB to fit your personal goals.

Complementing your diet with the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients found in the Complete Essentials Daily Pack, or the omega-3 essential fatty acids found in IsaOmega, helps you feel confident knowing you are providing your body with the right amounts of nutrients to support overall health and wellness.

FiberPro adds prebiotic fiber, designed to support a healthy digestive system and provide gentle relief for irregularity.

Instructions: 30-60 minutes before bed is the ideal time to prepare your BBB. Keep in mind it’s not recommended on a Cleanse Day, but can be the perfect Shake Day “nightcap.”

Step 1: With an IsaBlender™ vessel, combine 4 or 5 ounces of water, the core components, and the FiberPro if you choose it as your addition. Because the mix foams so rapidly, shake the vessel vigorously before blending.

Step 2: Blend all of the ingredients for 30 to 60 seconds.

Step 3: If desired, add a few ice cubes and reblend. Then enjoy this nutrient- and protein-dense bedtime treat alongside the IsaOmega or Complete Essentials Daily Pack if those were your additions of choice.

The bottom line of the Bedtime Belly Buster is that there are a variety of different ways to reach your goals. But by supplementing your nighttime regimen with Sleep Support & Renewal spray and the high-quality whey protein in IsaPro, your body and waistline can transform.
