Day 1 to Day 5 Schedule (repeat daily):
-
Morning Detox Juice: I juice 1 beetroot, 2 carrots, 1 apple, 1/2 lemon, and a 1-inch piece of ginger. I drink this on an empty stomach.

-
Afternoon Smoothie: I blend 1 small beet, 1 orange, a handful of spinach, half a cucumber, and 1 cup of water or coconut water.

Servings and timing
This plan serves 1 person for 5 days. Each day includes 3 main drinks/meals plus 2 snacks or light beverages. The prep time each day takes about 30 to 45 minutes total.
Variations
I sometimes swap apples with pears for a softer sweetness, or use golden beets for a milder flavor. If I want more protein, I add a scoop of plant-based protein powder to my smoothie. On colder days, I might roast the beetroot for dinner instead of having it raw or juiced.
storage/reheating
I keep juices and smoothies in airtight glass jars and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For warm soups, I reheat gently over the stove, not in the microwave, to preserve nutrients. Chia drinks should be prepared fresh daily or the night before.
FAQs
How do I prepare the beets for juicing?
I peel and chop them into small chunks to fit into my juicer or blender. If blending, I add water and strain through a fine sieve or nut milk bag.
Can I eat other foods during the cleanse?
I stick mostly to light, plant-based meals. If I feel hungry, I snack on raw veggies, nuts, or a piece of fruit.
Will I experience detox symptoms?
It’s possible to feel light headaches or fatigue on the first couple of days. I stay hydrated and get enough rest to ease these symptoms.
Can I repeat this cleanse monthly?
Yes, I do this cleanse once a month or seasonally. It’s safe and gentle, especially if I’m already eating healthy most of the time.
What if I don’t like the taste of beets?
I balance the earthiness of beets with sweet fruits like apples or oranges. Ginger and lemon also help cut through the flavor.
Conclusion
This 5-day beetroot cleanse helps me feel lighter, clearer, and more energized. It’s not about deprivation—it’s about nourishment and renewal. With just a few fresh ingredients and simple steps, I can refresh my body and glow from within
