You won't starve on this detox!
Eat it, sip it, or drink it! Instead of a juice detox, try a detox plan that incorporates foods that are both cleansing and filling. We’ve carefully selected recipes for the 3-Day Soup Detox that are packed with nutrients and antioxidants.
This detox is designed to cleanse the body of toxins which accumulate from eating overly processed foods, artificial sweeteners, refined sugar and flour, hormone based dairy and meats, and other commercially made foods. Even our Tomato Basil Soup is made using fresh tomatoes!
Each day, choose from the following detox options: 2 morning detox drinks, 5 soup recipes, and 3 snacks. All of the options are made without dairy, grains, soy, added sweeteners, meat, or gluten.
It is important to drink water throughout the day. We recommend either spring, purified, or distilled water. Depending on your body weight, it’s recommended that you drink between 64 and 80 ounces of water daily.
3-Day Soup Detox Daily Schedule
1. Early Morning Detox Drink
2. Breakfast – one serving soup
3. Mid-morning Snack
4. Lunch – one serving soup
5. Mid-afternoon Snack
6. Dinner – one serving soup
7. Evening snack (optional)
3-Day Soup Detox Menu
Early Morning Detox Drinks
You can enjoy as much of these drinks as you want and can even drink them throughout the day in addition to your morning serving, if desired. Have your breakfast soup at least 15 minutes after you have one of detox drinks below.
Option 1: Lemon-Ginger Detox Drink
Option 2: Morning Lemon and Mint Detox Water
Soups
Choose one serving from the options below for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make one or more soups, alternating or having the same soups for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We do recommend including either options 2 or 5 as one of your daily soups because of the additional protein.
Option 1: Tomato Basil Soup
Fresh tomatoes and bright basil make this simple soup refreshing and satisfying.
Option 2: Lentil Kale Soup
What’s not to love about healthy greens and lentils in a savory broth?
Option 3: Thai Roasted Sweet Potato Soup
Creamy, sweet, and full of warm curry flavor, this soup is as nourishing as it is delicious.
Option 4: Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Roasting cauliflower brings out its flavor. Pureeing it into a soup makes that flavor extra concentrated!
Option 5: Protein-Packed Lentil and Black Bean Soup
Just because you are detoxing, doesn’t mean that you can’t fill up on this hearty soup!
Snacks
Option 1:
1/2 cup raw vegetables (celery sticks , carrot sticks, radishes, bell pepper strips, or grape tomatoes) + 1/4 cup hummus or guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
*For homemade hummus options try Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Spicy Pumpkin Hummus, or Zucchini Hummus. For homemade guacamole try our Classic Guacamole.
Option 2:
1 serving fruit (1 apple, pear, orange, banana, peach, or 1/4 cup berries) +
1/4 cup nuts of choice
Option 3:
One serving smoothie (must be dairy-free, grain- free, and soy-free) .
Here are some smoothies you can make at home for this option:
Vegan Avocado Spinach Smoothie

Vegan Mango Almond Milkshake
Green Tea Kiwi-Berry Smoothie
Hot Pink Cooler
Better than a Shake Green Smoothie

Has anyone else done the 3-day soup detox and gained weight?
Tammy I am currently doing it. I just started this morning. I'll let you know on Monday!
Tammy, I did not gain weight but I did not loose any either.
With the snack for the berry option do you eat the nuts in addition to the other fruit choices or just the berries?
Yes, you can select from one of the fruit choices and also eat 1/4 c of nuts.
What’s the serving size for the soup?
Kim, The serving size is 1 1/4 cups.
I gained weight over the three days. I’m about 5’1″ and 135 lbs. I gained about 4 lbs! Followed everything – except maybe not drinking quite as much water? I did drink at least 45 oz of water each day and the only other thing I drank during the 3 days was plain hot green tea. Bummed and don’t know why it didn’t work for me 🙁
J Lane, It may be water weight from the sodium. Check again in a few days!
Are you allowed unlimited snacks or?
Aria, Not unlimited…2-3 a day max.
Can you drink coffee/tea?
Aria, Unless you plan to give up coffee or tea, it’s fine to have a cup. I would recommend not adding sweeteners or dairy for the 3 days. Try a little unsweented Almond Milk, if you don’t care for black coffee. I love “SO Delicious” brand. 🙂
Review: I spent about 4-5 hours in the kitchen on Sunday night preparing for this cleanse because I wanted all the soups just ready. I wouldn’t say I was STARVING like I think I might be on some cleanses. There were times I was like ahhh want food *chug water* but other times I’d be very full after the soup (like dinner) and be surprised that I would have eaten x3 that quantity previously. Feels really cool to have gone 3 days without eating a single ingredient that I didn’t make myself or know what was in there! I loved all the soups except the thai curry was a little too sweet and the cauliflower was only ok.
So I lost a few pounds which was an added bonus (I’m an average build 25 yr old)! I can’t say I felt DRAMATIC energy increases or feel super healthy or anything since it’s only 3 days but I am hooked on coffee and didn’t need any for 3 days.
Aria, Thank you so much for the feedback, good info! 🙂
So I have a lot of Shakeology packets. Could I use those as my smoothie or do you advise not?
Kathy, After careful review of the Shakeologoy ingredients, the only objectable ingredient is Frutose, which is listed under “Other Ingredients”. As you know, fructose is drived from fruit, but is another name for sugar. I would suggest googling “fructose” and researching this ingredient a little further before making a final judgement call. 🙂
I’m allergic to citrus fruits, what can I do to make a safer morning drink?
Lyda, Avoid drinks with citrus fruit and enjoy the others https://skinnyms.com/flush-the-fat-away-with-these-5-delicious-drink-recipes/2/.
I’m not sure I fancy soup for breakfast. Is there an alternative? Thanks
You can try one of these detox smoothies for breakfast. https://skinnyms.com/5-delicious-detox-smoothie-recipes/
I’m just finishing day 2 and I didn’t go to toilet yesterday or today. I never had a problem with this and I also went to the gym both days. It’s not very pleasant. Any reason why I might be constipated? Thank you.
Norish, There are many options listed that are high in fiber. For the final day, I would recommend a soup with legumes.
Hi Gale,
Thank you, last day I’ve had bean and lentil soup which was delicious and I was very pleased with results: 1.2kg less, I’ve lost 2.5cm from my waist, 1.5% overall fat and gained 0.7% muscle – not bad at all in 3 days! I am feeling full of energy and light – I recommended this to all my friends and I am sure I will do it more often, hopefully once a month.
That’s great news! Thank you so much for the feedback. 🙂
I posted questions 2/4/2017. When will they be answered? Will it be in this post or in my email?
Jennifer, I did respond to your question. You’ll find the answer below this post https://skinnyms.com/three-day-cleanse-detox/
I am going to try this soup detox starting Monday. I will post my experience here afterwards!
Good luck, Wendy! Can’t wait to ready your results!
Can i try this a whole week?
Andrea, It’s really up to you. Just make sure you’re getting enough to eat and aren’t feeling overly hungry.
Would it be okay to use Doterra’ Trim Shake as a base for the smothie?
Scout, Just be sure to know the ingredients first…keep it clean! 🙂
Would it hurt to continue this plan for more than 3 days? I seems like everything is good healthy.
Sandy, I’ve done this detox up to 7 days without any issues. If you do more than 3 days, make sure you have plenty of energy.
I’m on day 2. Anyone else have headaches/lightheadedness? I have had a cup of coffee with coconut milk each morning, so it isn’t caffeine withdrawal. Loving the 3 soups I made (cauliflower, sweet potato, lentil/black bean). Thanks
We’ve just started the cleanse today, but so far, can absolutely say that both the roasted cauliflower soup and the Thai Sweet Potato Soup will become regular rotations for us! I highly recommend!
Awesome, Whitney! We’re happy to hear that you’re enjoying it! 🙂
