21-Day Cleanse | Plant-Based Detox
The proven plant-based cleanse to help you reset eating habits, boost energy, feel lighter in your body, and support long-term heart health with simple, nourishing recipes packed with flavor.
Nourish Your Body With
Plant-Based Whole Foods
I created this 21-Day Cleanse to help women feel better, gain energy, and lose weight by eating more plants—without extremes or perfection.
What began as a simple smoothie habit became a proven approach that’s helped millions reset cravings, support digestion, and feel better in their bodies. Inside the cleanse, you’ll find simple plant-based meals, clear plans, and real-life support—no diet culture or food rules.
This 21-Day Cleanse is For you if…
I get it. A cleanse sounds like a LOT of sacrifice, and for what exactly? The goal is to detox the body and gain control of your eating habits and flood your body with nutrients. If you’re dealing with any of the symptoms below, this cleanse can help.
Trouble losing weight
You’ve tried dieting… and it doesn’t work
The plant-based recipes jolt your metabolism and resets your cravings, encouraging you to eat the entire time. Food is fuel and our detox plan is very successful in being the catalyst for weight loss. Just read the reviews at the bottom of the page from participants.
Constantly Tired
Natural energy is right around the corner
We’ll train your body to sleep well by removing stimulants, setting a bedtime routine and allowing the cleanse do the work for you. You’ll sleep like a rock and wake up naturally energized.
Viscous Cravings
We’ll help you skip the sugar binge and caffeine drip
Over time, your body becomes reliant on stimulants like sugar and caffeine to wake up and power through the day. We’ll retrain your tastebuds and give your system a break to truly recharge.
Digestive Issues
Remove the foods that cause digestive distress that leads to tummy troubles
You’ll be consuming large amounts of fruits and vegetables that are naturally high in fiber to gently cleanse your colon. You’ll also drink tons of water to flush out the system and support the detox process.
Body Aches / Joints Hurt
Zap the inflammation naturally with foods that heal
We’ll be removing foods that cause inflammation and consuming plant-based ingredients that support the detoxification process and reduce inflammation— which can reduce joint pain and increase mobility as well.
Adult Acne / Eczema
Glowing skin is just around the corner
You might feel too old to have acne, yet you’re not alone. Changing your diet to help your body naturally detox and increase antioxidants can have remarkable effects on acne, eczema and psoriasis and minimize the medications you use for treatment.
I desperately needed to kick bad habits to the curb. At the end of my 21 days, I’ve lost 10 lbs and my energy has increased big time. I feel and look better than I have in a long time!
Katie Niehuis
I had no idea plant-based eating could be so delicious! I just started half marathon training and feel like I have an abundance of energy, woohoo!
I have more energy, love clothes shopping, lost weight and am confident with people taking pictures of me. The cleanse changed my life!!! I feel like I’m a new person.
CHILLY PARKER
I lost 10 pounds and I was never hungry! The food was delicious and many of these recipes will be incorporated into the family meal rotation. Love this new whole food lifestyle!

21-Day Cleanse Success Stories
I’ve helped 37,821 women transform their health with my 21-day cleanse
Are you ready to be next?
I Lost 13 Pounds
My skin is clearer than it had been in years. I have so much energy! I lost 13 pounds and my husband lost 20!!! He’s been struggling to lose weight and this started his weight-loss journey. Four months later, he’s lost 55 pounds and wants to train for a marathon. —Carissa V.
I Have More Energy
Before the cleanse, I was so depressed, moody, unhappy and battled low esteem. I was always complaining and easily gave up on myself. Now, I have more energy, love clothes shopping, lost weight and am confident with people taking pictures of me. This changed my life!!! I’m a new person, happy and confident! —Carla P.
My Skin is Glowing
I got my body off sugar, coffee, and bread. Best part is, I didn’t feel deprived. I was eating real food with some of the most delicious flavors I’ve had! I received so many compliments on my glowing skin, too. —Kavli K.
I Was Never Hungry
I was never hungry and the meals were ALL delicious! I slept so well. The aches are gone. I can’t remember the last time my digestive system was this calm. I love how I feel and plan to make this my lifestyle. —Deidra
I Feel Like a New Person
I got so many compliments about how I looked… not just about the weight-loss but about glowing skin. I feel like the best version of myself when I’m eating a healthy, plant-based diet…and have this 21-day cleanse to thank for that! —Holly Couch
What a lovely community of people from all over supporting each other and all striving for a cleaner, healthier body. Each cleanse builds upon the other… each time giving me an even lighter, healthier, energetic and fulfilled self.
Loved the 3-week format. helping me prepare and reintroducing food after. I already eat pretty clean but love participating to keep me motivated, learn new recipes, and join a community of other like minded people eating a clean plant based diet.
I’m sleeping better, I’m happier and have more energy. I’ve been walking every day with my dog or by myself with a book and doing strength training, which feels great. I’ve lost 7 pounds and have a better outlook because I don’t have as much inflammation and fatigue.
Thank you 100x for having everything so organized. My weight went steadily down. The recipes made it easy to figure out how to switch meals around, if necessary. The Grocery List made shopping so much less stressful. And, the recipes are amazing!

Message from Your 21-Day Cleanse Host
Hi! I’m Jen Hansard, creator of Simple Green Smoothies and best-selling cookbook author.
If you made it this far, you’re def on the fence about the 21-day cleanse. I was the same way, wondering if it would it work for me. Would I like the recipes? Would I just “yoyo” back to my old habits? Would it be worth the time and money to eat 100% plant-based recipes for 3 weeks?
Well, after just 8 days on my first cleanse, I was hooked. I had never felt better and my body was responding. My stomach was less bloated My energy levels were soaring. My sleep was phenomenal. And I knew my body was getting nourished. I was truly eating the rainbow.
How I lost 20 Pounds in a Year
A few tears ago, I did all four seasonal cleanses with participants and was able to lose 20 pounds I had gained from the grief of losing my dad to cancer. I tracked my weight all year and you can see the scale just drop each time I did the 21-Day Cleanse. The results are impressive!
Since 2013, I’ve helped women get their health back on track by following this proven system.
I’ll show you how to use fruits, veggies, herbs, nuts and seeds to whip together plant-based smoothies, snacks and meals and start to see results quickly. We’ll enjoy beverages with lemon juice and cayenne pepper to activate the digestive system and wake up our metabolism. This is not a juice cleanse (which often leads to diarrhea and dehydration), we will eat food all day long and become chefs in th kitchen. You will have so much confidence in the kitchen by the end of the cleanse and be able to maintain this longterm.
21-Day Cleanse Fuels Passions
I’ve seen the impact in eating a plant-based diet in my own life. At 42 years old, I have more energy, strength and overall health than I did in my 20s and 30s. I continue to push myself when it comes to fitness adventures (I’m running across the Grand Canyon in June for my 8th time… then heading to the Alps to run across Switzerland, France and Italy. I run marathons, hike mountains, and cross canyons with my loved ones— this is my passion.
Having a body that supports an active lifestyle starts with your diet. (Everything else is a ripple effect.)
This detox body cleanse helps you break bad eating habits, build new healthy habits and start feeling amazing. Doesn’t matter if you’re 30 or 70, nothing is more frustrating than feeling trapped in a body that’s holding you back from living the life you were meant to live.
If you’re worried about the food— remember: this is what I do. I’m a best-selling cookbook author! I make tasty plant-based recipes that nourish and transform your body!
Why This 21-Day Cleanse is Different
Unlike most detox diets out there, this doesn’t require you to buy any powders or supplements. I give you a weekly grocery list to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and seeds to get back to eating real foods that do your body some serious good.
My plan is 100% plant-based and designed to give your body a break from caffeine, sugars and processed foods while loading up on satisfying, nutrient-rich meals. To help your body push out chemicals, additives, and toxins in your body, you’ll be filling up your plate with foods that naturally support detoxification and reduce inflammation. Get ready for fiber-rich veggies (seasoned like a pro chef!), fresh fruits, nuts and seeds, green smoothies, and herbal teas to detox from within.
You don’t have to eat less. You just have to eat better.
SMOOTHIES
fiber-rich + hydrating
PROTEIN-RICH SNACKS
stabilize blood sugar levels
PLANT-BASED MEALS
nutrient dense recipes
They did it… and so can you!
I am 69, and I can honestly say, I wish I had known about this in my 40’s. Adopting this lifestyle would have saved years of misery and expense due to medical issues.
I learned how to plan and prep, cook healthy fantastic recipes and enjoy feeling more balanced and focused. The weekly checkins helped me meet like minded people and I enjoyed listening to their journeys. This program has changed my lifestyle- no more junk food!
Beth M.
I decided to partake in this cleanse to reset my body from much hormonal weight gain; more specifically bloating. I’m training for a cycling event in July. I’ve lost 6 lbs and looking forward to losing more.
Glenda
I did the cleanse (as nothing else worked for me- no other diets, restrictions, etc). The private support is great, knowing that you have other people around the globe doing it “with you”. It’s like a sisterhood. I lost 5 pounds and am happy without coffee or wine.
Mariya
Now, I know what foods make me feel great and give me tons of energy. It’s like I was a caterpillar that emerged from its cocoon and turned into a beautiful butterfly. I’m not looking back. I’ve been changed for the better.
I kept an open mind and was very successful. Medications were reduced and I kick started a weight loss goal. I’m glad I made the decision to join.
Zelda Greenburg
My clothes fit a little loose, my body feels energized and I have a better plan to continue the healthy eating habits I picked up during the cleanse. I feel confident in continuing this lifestyle.
Tabitha Good
The first couple of days were hard, but it was totally worth it. I love feeling less bloated with great natural energy. I’m feeling lighter and lean!
If you’re ready to overhaul your diet, break sugar addiction, embrace a plant-based diet that supports your passions and promotes longevity— join the 21-Day Cleanse today.
Thank you Jen, for the times you have offered your smoothies for free. It has given me a chance to share these life
saving recipes to a group of senior women that have very little funds to spend on extra things. Over the past few years
that I have followed you I have been able to invest in your books and also purchased a few of your items, that I have
shared with the ladies. I will continue to support you when I can, but again I thank you for the times you offer the recipes
for smoothies, free. The very best to you and thank you again. Stephan
I am an 84-year-old man who lives alone. I have adult children who keep a good eye on me, take me shopping weekly, and make sure I am able to contact them anytime I need to. I have tried the five-day challenge and made all of the smoothies. I am very pleased with all of them and will continue to search your field for more. I have been trying to change to a plant-based diet for some time now and have added your smoothies to the changes I have already been making. It has given me help to carry on. Thank you. David.
Sleep is better without caffeine. I may consider giving up coffee altogether thanks to the alternative beverages. Sometimes I think I simply enjoy holding a warm mug ritual.
My Word of 2026 is Cleanse. I want to cleanse my home, my phone, my mind, my body…one of my goals was to do at least one of Jen’s seasonal cleanses. I am so glad I did this Winter Cleanse. I feel great. I lost 7 pounds, experienced no bloating and gained energy. The recipes were so good. The prep directions were great. It really helped to have a few recipes made ahead of time. I will keep these recipes in my meal rotation going forward. I can’t recommend this Cleanse enough. It rawks!!
Thank you, Jen!
It made me eat more fruits & veggies. I know I’m doing something good for my health & putting good things in my body.
I am a three times cancer survivor and I don’t take that lightly..I cannot remembered when I started green smoothie or what year but I do recalled this is my fourth year so far I have started taking part In Your challenges ..Your green smoothies and Rainbow smoothie this year was by far my best, I was able to relaxed after my morning smoothie and not needed a single snack after ..I used your smoothie as part of my fasting in January and so far it has sustained me..I am not a fan of cauliflower and ginger in smoothie so those I will not repeat..I loved the cashew recipe quite a lot ..Thank you for being part of my survival journey and thank you for the tips of replacing pineapple as that is a deadly allergy for me..looking forward to trying many more of your food recipes as I have been doing for quite a while
The smoothies were great. I’m 77 yrs young. 😃 my body feels good, my knee is not hurting. I used to be very active, I had 3 children, when they went to college I started traveling. They married and had 10 grandchildren and I helped raise them and begin to gain weight. In 2023 I had brain surgery nothing was found . Praise God. I don’t do as much as I used to do but I still linedance everyday and I still ride my motorcycle. I only lost 4 lbs but I feel great I just want to say thank you. I will continue with the smoothie and eat a healthy dinner.
I love how “simple” these smoothies are and that each recipe is just enough for one great smoothie. Thank you for the challenge!
I really enjoyed the smoothies and all of the information/ explanations.
I did this Smoothie Challenge a few years ago. The smoothie recipes now are much better! I now know what I like and don’t like in my smoothies. What works for me and what is a “no”. I recommend others try this New Smoothie Challenge.
This was a great challenge for me. I love to learn new healthy ways to eat my veggies. When making these you think there is no way it’ll be good but after it’s put together they are amazing and are tasty. This is something I’m going to continue for a much healthier part of my life because it also makes me feel so much better.
I love smoothies! Making each smoothie was an adventure in my mouth, I used all frozen fruit to make it thicker! Thank you for the challenge, I switched it up to, a couple of times I had it for my dinner.
Having done this challenge where ingredients and directions were right there made this totally doable easy and they tasted GREAT!! So happy I gave this a try it was FREE so you won’t regret it. I feel amazing!!! And no wasted ingredients was a huge plus!!!
I thought this would be a lot harder- it was not that bad. The food list and prepping really helped. I feel amazing and am sleeping better and I have more energy. I have lost 5 lbs too! Highly recommend. The smoothies taste amazing.
I Joined This Challenge To Help Me Reset My Body And My Habits Back To A More Plant Based Lifestyle, Especially After The Holidays. I Looked Forward To Each Email, As They Were Informative And Full Of Great Tips To Help Me Make My Smoothies Better. The Pictures From The Emails Was A Little Peek Into The Colorful And Delicious Looking Blog. The Smoothies On The Blog Seemed To Literally Jump Off The Page 😊 When I Made My Own Smoothies They Tasted As Delicious As They Looked. Each Smoothie Was Delicious And Easy To Make. I Enjoy Experimenting With My Smoothies, Using Cauliflower, Yes!! I Liked That. I Also Enjoyed Prepping A Few Of My Smoothie Bags, This Made It Easy To Take With Me On The Go. Thank You Jen 😄 Wendy 🍓🍌
The first week was the hardest with headaches/migraines everyday. The second & third weeks were magical for me and so eye opening. I know Jen said we’d sleep better, our skin would glow, we’d have more energy, yada yada yada; but honestly, I didn’t think it could happen this quick (in 3-weeks time). I thought, “sure in a month or two, I might experience these benefits!” But, starting in week 2, I was sleeping all night, my skin was changing, my focus and clarity were sharper, late night cravings for ice cream were gone, and the energy was not only felt or noticed by me, but my husband noticed. I’m sold! Jen knows what she’s doing and the recipes are amazing! There are recipes I would never have thought to try or put together the ingredients she choose. Who knew walnut could be turned into ‘taco meat’, lo! That was a new and scary recipe I tried and absolutely LOVE it! I have learned so much and my taste buds have been pleasantly surprised and super happy, lol! My family is benefiting from everything I’m learning as well. I also have lost 7+ pounds over the past 3 weeks. It’s not a ton of weight, but a great start and I’ll take it and continue forward. This is such a fantastic program. So thankful I’ve decided to join. See you on the inside of Rawk the Year! 😉
The fall cleanse experience was amazing! I thought it was going to be tough and was a bit skeptical, but I was proven wrong. The smoothies, meals and snacks were easy to prepare and switch around if needed. The grocery lists made it easy to shop. Everything was so full of flavor and left my hunger satisfied ( no more late night cravings or snacking) I lost 10 lbs and got some energy back.
The cleanse is always a good way to reset and tweak what you are doing especially if you have been plant based for years. I like the fact that the meals are set for the day-this doesn’t mean you can’t switch things up but you have a 3 week plan to go by without thinking about it. There are also alternate recipes you can choose from.
I learned that the shopping guide and prep day were the key to success! It’s easy to eat the right things when you take the time to set yourself up to make good decisions when it gets busy or you’re tired.
Boy where to start
It was so much to prep for the week BUT the week was sooo easy and to stay on track was a blessing. I felt successful every day. I feel a little lost today with no food presenting the fridge.
Common Questions
Not likely. The recipe portions are deliberately generous to accommodate even the largest appetites. This is not a starvation diet, it is a celebration of food, flavor, and abundance. We are not counting calories. You will be eating three to five times each day (breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner, if you choose to.) This cleanse is not designed to starve you, and you’re not limited in the number of times you eat, or the amount you eat – only in what you eat. If you do get hunger pangs, make sure that you’re really hungry, and not just bored or thirsty. If it’s a case of real hunger, go for one of the bonus snack recipes, a piece of fruit, or a small handful of nuts, or seeds. One tip to avoid hunger is to chew your green smoothie. This may sound silly, but the chewing action signals your body that food is on the way, and triggers the digestive processes.
You may have many of the staple ingredients in your kitchen already (avocado oil, raw cashews, maple syrup, ground cumin, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, etc). If you do not, the first shop typically costs about $150. Then, once your kitchen is set up, we estimate the cost of the produce to be between $100 per week. If you choose to supplement the plant-based recipes with high quality animal protein like organic chicken breast or cage free eggs, your grocery bill will be higher.
If you struggle with getting quality sleep, we advise omitting coffee throughout the cleanse. You will get the best results and many cleanse grads choose to stay off coffee after the cleanse because they feel so great. If you and coffee aren’t ready to break up, we suggest having just one cup in the morning to support quality rest and sleep.
If you want the full benefit of cleansing your body, stick with the plan as close as possible. Our detox meals are crafted by our holistic nutritionist for optimal cleansing. This is not a vacation, it’s a cleanse. Yet of course if you truly cannot stand cilantro, turmeric or fennel, you can substitute them out for something you do enjoy, or choose another meal.
Of course— life must go on! The 21-Day Cleanse is a flexible program that you can follow while living your life with family and friends. Using the weekly meal plans and recipes will help you get great results. But, you can still get good results by sticking to the recommended foods lists. You can eat “off meal plan”, eat out, and travel during the program— feel free to ask for tips inside the community to help you the most.
You may experience short-term symptoms like: headaches, bloating, muscle cramps, skin irritations, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, or change in bowel frequency. These symptoms are completely normal and expected.
It usually takes between 2-5 days to complete the withdrawal phase of the 21-Day Cleanse, yet it’s absolutely worth it. Giving your body a break from stimulants will allow your organs to heal and your body to recharge fully. Remember, these symptoms are proof that the cleanse is working and your body is getting the care it needs.
You’ll definitely spend more time in the kitchen throughout the cleanse. In some ways, this is like a crash course plant-based cooking school. I highly suggest following our prep guide to make most of the smoothies, snacks and meals over the weekend. Breakfast is a smoothie (10 minutes), lunch is a reheated soup or quick salad (15 minutes) and dinners will range from 15 minutes – 1 hour to prepare. The good news is, the dinners repeat so you make once and reheat for another evening to give you a break in the kitchen.
We know all about busy schedules here, which is why we’ve provided a weekend prep guide that saves you tons of time during the week. If you’re working and have a full schedule, expect to spend 3-4 hours shopping and prepping on the weekends to make each cleanse week stress-free and enjoyable. The cleanse gives you a wonderful opportunity to really listen to your body. It’s an individual experience that differs for everyone. Depending on the level of toxicity in your body, there may be some less- than-amazing symptoms in the first 3–5 days, such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, skin irritations, etc. Once you hit day five, these should only be distant memories, and you’ll be well on your way to greatness. But some people sail through the entire cleansing period with no side effects at all. You may feel amazing throughout the entire cleanse, or your energy may wax and wane a little.
This cleanse is great for most people, yet you should avoid cleansing in the following situations: advanced cancer, under 16 years of age, if you have an eating disorder, kidney or liver disease, and if you’re underweight. If you have a blood sugar regulation issue (diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia) or any other medical condition, you should seek your doctor’s advice before undertaking a cleanse. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you can absolutely do the cleanse with some modifications. If this is you, let us know and we can give you specific tweaks to the program to make sure you’re benefitting your baby and body.
You may find that you have more energy than normal—and more motivation! Why waste it? Get moving! Be mindful that you may need to take it down a notch though as your body adjust to the new way of eating. If you normally exercise fairly intensely, reduce your output until you feel strong and energized.
If you don’t normally work out, you would do well to include some regular walking, yoga, swimming or gardening during this time. Try to sneak in some incidental exercise, such as getting off the train or bus one or two stops early and walking the rest of the way. Or park further away from the entrance to the grocery store and walk.
Absolutely. My husband loves our cleanses thanks to the clear meal plans, tasty recipes and the results he gets. Like most men, the weight just seems to fall off just by saying “I’m in!” You’ll need to double the grocery list and recipes to make enough for you both.
We offer a 7-day money back guarantee. Enroll now and get 7 days to go through the Week 1 Nutrition Plan, share it with your doctor, try a recipe or three, and say hello to your fellow cleansers in the private support group. If you decide it’s not for you, send us an email within 7 days of purchase and I’ll refund you. I’m that confident that when you commit to this cleanse, you’ll see results… and keep them going. You have nothing to lose but so much to gain when you go plant-based for 21 days.
