DIY Juice Cleanse Recipes – 6 juices per day
Green Juice (Juices 1 and 3)
Juice the following in a juicer:
1 handful of kale
1 handful of spinach
1 kiwi, peeled
2 Granny Smith apples
1 banana (blend with juice in blender)
Pineapple-Apple Cucumber Juice (Juice 2)
Juice the following in a juicer:
1/2 pineapple, with skin/leaves removed
2 red apples
1/2 cucumber
Spicy Lemonade (Juice 4)
Fill a bottle 7/8 full of filtered water. Combine the following and shake:
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 teaspoon Honey
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
CAB (Carrot Apple Beet) Juice (Juice 5)
Juice the following in a juicer:
1 red beet, peeled
1 carrot, peeled
2 red apples
*After filling bottles, fill the rest of the bottle with filtered water.
Banana-Cashew ‘Dessert’ Smoothie (Juice 6)
Blend all ingredients together in blender:
1 cup raw whole cashews, soaked in water for 2 hours
1 banana
1 cup of filtered water
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
I recommend making the juices up to one day in advance for ultimate freshness; after juicing, keep in airtight bottles or containers in refrigerator. Optional: Pour over ice for an ‘on the rocks’ version.
Shopping List for 3 Day Juice Cleanse:
6-pack 16 oz. water bottles (I re-used bottles and drank from a re-useable to-go cup with ice)

Have you tried a DIY juice cleanse? What was your experience? Tell me in the comments below!
Please note, I am not a nutritionist, this post is solely based on my personal juicing experience. See more of my juice recipes here
What’s great with cleansing juice is that one can mix the fruits and vegetables that they want, the healthier the better. It is also easy to prepare and requires minimal time to do. Drink cleansing juices regularly for a healthy and toxin free body.
I starts this cleanse and was a bit concerned with the calories. One cup of cashews has 754 cal. Are you straining to just use the milk? That would change the calories I would assume plus the banana is approximately 100 cal. This is a lot for one meal. I plan on cutting some of the fruits in half and adding some celery Juice. And I am a small person and do not want to go over 12 to 1400 cal and gain weight.
Thank you so much for doing the research and giving us the perfect list. Starting this tomorrow.

When you say 1/2 pineapple. Are we talking half of a whole pineapple? Seems like a large amount of pineapple in one juice.
Yes 1/2 a whole pineapple as this juice is mostly pineapple. Hope this helps to clarify!
Hi,
So 3 bottles a day for 3 days. No other foods just juices?
six juices a day for 3 days. Breakfast-Juice 1, mid-morning – juice 2, lunch-juice 3, afternoon snack – juice 4, dinner – juice 5, dessert – juice 6
Hi Adela! It would be 6 juices each day and yes, no other foods. However, if you feel weak or extremely hungry, I would recommend eating plain vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumber and celery or a steamed sweet potato.
Thank you for sharing the list of juices. I’m a fan of juice and juice diets, so I will have to look more into these.
Thank you so much!!! For the cashews- when u blend them- is it with the water they soaked it? And approximately how much water did u use when soaking them? Thanks!!
Hi Nancy! I typically soak them in about a cup or so of water– enough to cover them. I then strain them and use fresh filtered water to blend with. Hope this helps! Let me know if you try the cleanse and how it works out for you 🙂
Thank you for the shopping list breakdown! I’m on day two and I feel great! Just wanted to clarify that the list said 6 kiwis, but according to the ingredients I only need 3 for each day. Unless I’m supposed to be using 2 on the first juice?
What can sub for bannas an kiwis
Hi Julie! I recommend subbing a zuchini for banana as it will give a similar creamy texture. Or, just leave it out.
Hi Suzette! You need 2 kiwis per day for juices 1 and 3– this totals to 6 kiwis total for 3 days. Hope this helps to clarify!
I’m on day 2 and feeling pretty good! Down 5 pounds! I’m curious if there is a science to how often these are spaced out through the day? On day 1 I just went based on my hunger and needs. Sometime 4 hours apart, sometimes 1 hour. Any thoughts?
So mostly how many calories are we have per day if we want to add it up
Hello, I would like to know how I have to drink it, I mean what is the correct order to have it.
Hi Isa! The juice order is numbered above in the post next to each juice recipe. Hope this helps!
So I know that you mention that juicing loses the fiber and I was curious to know if for a “cleanse” juice or smoothie is better? Does it matter? Is one statistically more successful than the other?
Also, sorry! Do you drink all 6 juices every day? Space them out every couple hours?
Do you think it would be ok to sub coconut or oat milk in the last juice? I am allergic to nuts and peanuts.
Hi thank you very much for posting these recipes – however I feel like there is a lot of natural sugars in every juice with the amount of fruit in them. Would you happen to know the nutritional values for all of these?
Hi Chris! I thought the same thing so I cut the fruits in half and matched with kale/spinach. Great recipes for baseline though! Do
Hi Chris- I am not a nutritionist or dietician and unable to speak to the nutritional value. If looking to cut out sugars, I recommend replacing some of the fruits with more of the vegetables. Hope this helps!
Hi, do you know how many calories per day you’ll get with this juice cleanse?
Hi there! I do not know the calorie count for these. I recommend plugging the ingredients/amounts into a calorie counter to get an approximate idea.
Love this! Thank you for making this easy with a shopping list;)
2 questions:
Do you have a typical time that you drink each of these everyday?
We have a cashew allergy here so is there a nut you’d recommend as a substitution?
Thank you!
Hi Jess! I try to space the juices out every two hours or so. In between I drink water to stay hydrated and keep the liquids flowing. For cashew substitutions, you can try almonds or walnuts. Tahini would probably work well too. Hope this helps!
Hi…can you drink just water too, while your on the 3 day juice? Or only the juice? Thank you.
Hi April! Definitely drink water while on the cleanse.
does the juice have to be strained? Or is it ok to just drink after blending?
Thanks!
Hi Sherry! You do not need to strain if using a juicer. This post refers to juicing the fruits and vegetables, not blending them using a blender as that does not remove the fiber. Hope this helps, thanks!
How much celery equals 1 bunch of celery?
Hi Cher, these recipes do not feature celery in them but you could add to the green juice if you would like. When I do typically purchase a bunch of celery from the grocery store, it contains about 8 stalks. Hope this helps!
