3 Day Juice Cleanse: A Complete Body Reset, Not a Diet

What Is a 3 Day Juice Cleanse and Why Does It Work?

The 3 Day Juice Cleanse is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reset your body – a short, nutrient-dense pause that helps you feel lighter, clearer and more energised.

Itโ€™s not a quick fix or a starvation plan; itโ€™s a structured break for your digestive system that allows it to rest, rebalance and recover while still receiving powerful, plant-based nutrition.

During this time, your body directs its energy away from constant digestion and toward repair and detoxification. Cold-pressed juices deliver vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are rapidly absorbed – giving your system a reset without restriction.

If youโ€™re completely new to cleansing, start with our Beginnerโ€™s Guide to Juice Cleansing for an overview of how juice cleanses work and how to prepare for your first reset.

Our 3 Day Juice Cleanse – known as the Signature Cleanse – is designed to make that reset easy, convenient and nutrient-rich.

What Happens to Your Body During a 3 Day Juice Cleanse?

During a cleanse, your body isnโ€™t starving – itโ€™s switching gears.

When you replace solid food with cold-pressed juice, digestion takes a break. The energy your body usually spends breaking down food can now focus on cellular repair, hydration and detoxification.

  • Day 1: Your digestive system slows down, and water retention begins to ease. You may feel lighter, though mild headaches are common as your body rebalances caffeine and sugar levels.

  • Day 2: The โ€œresetโ€ begins – your liver and kidneys step up detoxification, and your bloodstream is flooded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

  • Day 3: The digestive rest allows the gut to heal. Your microbiome begins to rebalance, bloating reduces and you experience clean, steady energy.

Think of it like clearing and nourishing fresh soil – removing whatโ€™s built up so new, healthy nutrients can take root again.

A short cleanse gives your body that same opportunity to renew and reset.

Why Is a 3 Day Cleanse the Perfect Length?

Three days is long enough to see meaningful change, but short enough to fit into real life. Itโ€™s the ideal balance between effectiveness and manageability.

After 72 hours, most people experience better digestion, balanced energy and fewer cravings – without the fatigue that longer cleanses can sometimes cause.

Longer cleanses, like our 7 Day Detox Cleanse, are great when youโ€™re ready to go deeper.
But if youโ€™re new to cleansing, a 3-day reset gives you fast, noticeable results and the motivation to keep going.

What Does a Juice Cleanse Actually Do for Your Gut?

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, immunity and even mood. When you take a short break from heavy or processed foods, you give your gut lining time to rest and heal.

The live enzymes and phytonutrients in cold-pressed juices help feed beneficial bacteria, reduce inflammation and support your natural microbiome balance.

Pairing your cleanse with a Gut Health Shot can further support this process – combining fermented ingredients and prebiotics to encourage healthy bacteria growth.

Does a Juice Cleanse Help Reset Cravings?

Yes – and this is one of the most powerful benefits.

After a few days without processed foods, your taste buds recalibrate. You begin to crave cleaner, fresher flavours. This isnโ€™t just willpower – itโ€™s a real biological reset.

When blood sugar levels stabilise and hydration improves, your brainโ€™s reward system rebalances too.

By Day 3, many people notice that sweet cravings drop dramatically and natural foods start to taste vibrant again.

A cleanse acts as a metabolic reset – helping you build better eating patterns after you finish.

What Nutrients Support Cleansing and Liver Function?

Your liver is the bodyโ€™s natural detox centre.

Cold-pressed juices rich in chlorophyll, antioxidants and plant compounds help support its natural cleansing function.

Ingredients like celery, beetroot and ginger all play key roles in flushing toxins and improving circulation.

Try incorporating a Celery Juice Cleanse or antioxidant-rich blends from our Functional Juices collection to sustain your results long after your cleanse ends.

How to Prepare for a 3 Day Cleanse (and What to Expect)

Preparation is key for a smooth cleanse.

A few days beforehand, start easing off caffeine, refined sugar and heavy meals. Focus on hydration and whole plant foods.

During your cleanse:

  • Drink water between juices to stay hydrated.

  • Rest where you can – this is your bodyโ€™s reset time.

  • Listen to how you feel; light movement like walking or stretching is fine.

ย 

Afterwards, reintroduce simple foods like soups, fruits and steamed vegetables, avocados and lean proteins.

This helps your digestion restart gently and supports long-term change.

Isnโ€™t a Juice Cleanse Just a Sugary Diet? (Letโ€™s Debunk the Myths)

Itโ€™s a fair question – and one of the biggest misconceptions about cleansing.

A true Recovery Juice Cleanse isnโ€™t about restriction or sugar water. Itโ€™s about giving your body a short, structured break from the constant demands of digestion, while still flooding it with live nutrients your cells can recognise and use immediately.

Critics often say a cleanse โ€œdoesnโ€™t provide enough protein or fat.โ€

But remember – itโ€™s just three days.

Your body is built to handle short cycles of rest and refeeding. In fact, our ancestors thrived on them. They didnโ€™t eat three balanced meals a day; they hunted, gathered and went for long periods without food. Those natural fasting rhythms gave the body space to repair, restore and reset.

Somewhere along the line, that wisdom was replaced by marketing.

The idea that โ€œbreakfast is the most important meal of the dayโ€ wasnโ€™t an ancient truth – it was a 20th-century advertising slogan created by Kelloggโ€™s to sell cereal. Yet it stuck, and weโ€™ve been conditioned to believe constant eating equals good health.

Ask yourself this: whatโ€™s more alert and alive – a hungry wolf or a freshly fed, sleeping lion?

During a cleanse, your body becomes that wolf – focused, efficient and clear.

Energy isnโ€™t being drained by digestion; itโ€™s being redirected into detoxification, healing and regeneration.

Thatโ€™s the real purpose of a Recovery Juice Cleanse – itโ€™s not deprivation; itโ€™s metabolic rest.

Itโ€™s the quiet moment between the noise of modern eating.

Three days is enough to reset the gut, calm inflammation, rebalance hormones and remind your body how to function in its natural rhythm again.

So no – a cleanse isnโ€™t โ€œbad for you.โ€

Whatโ€™s far worse is the constant overload of processed food and eating out of habit rather than need.

A short, nutrient-dense cleanse simply gives your body the chance to remember how good balance feels.

Can a Juice Cleanse Help With Weight Loss?

Itโ€™s one of the most common questions – and the honest answer is yes, but not in the way most people think.

A 3 Day Juice Cleanse isnโ€™t a crash diet; it helps your body rebalance – easing bloating, resetting cravings and recalibrating metabolism so healthy habits can stick.

You may see the scales drop slightly, mainly from reduced water retention and inflammation.

More importantly, your taste buds and energy stabilise, and you naturally crave lighter foods.

Many of us mistake hunger for emotion – stress, habit or boredom.

We eat because the clock says itโ€™s time, not because we need fuel.

A cleanse helps you recognise the difference between true physical hunger and emotional triggers.

By removing heavy foods and stimulants, your body resets those signals, letting you tune back into what real hunger feels like – and when to stop.

Thatโ€™s one of the most powerful outcomes of cleansing: rebuilding a more intuitive, balanced relationship with food.

Many customers find the clarity and energy they feel afterwards spark long-term change – cleaner eating, more hydration, and one daily cold-pressed juice to maintain results.

For sustained balance, try our Functional Juices between meals or as part of your morning routine.

What Results Can You Expect After a 3 Day Juice Cleanse?

The benefits of a 3 day cleanse are both physical and mental.

Most people report:

  • Lighter digestion and reduced bloating

  • Brighter skin and better hydration

  • Steady, calm energy

  • More mindful eating habits

ย 

A cleanse helps you press โ€œresetโ€ on your relationship with food – preparing your body for better nutrition and your mind for new, healthier habits.

This is not a crash diet. Itโ€™s a short, restorative reset that clears the way for lasting balance.
