🍏 3-Day Autumn Juice Cleanse

Recipes, Shopping List & How to Prepare

15th–17th September

Fancy pressing pause on your usual eating habits and trying something a little different this autumn?

As part of my 8-week Autumn Equinox Kundalini Reset, we’re coming together for an optional 3-Day Autumn Juice Cleanse from 15th–17th September.

I’ve run apple juice fasting challenges with my online yoga community for years, but this autumn we’re mixing things up!

You can still keep it simple with apple juice, or experiment with some lovely fresh fruit and vegetable combinations.

And you don’t have to complete all three days to join in.

You might try one day, introduce some fresh juices alongside your normal meals, or simply use these three days to become more mindful of what you’re eating, when you’re eating and why you’re eating.

🍏 We’re Doing This Together

If you’re taking part in the Autumn Reset, make sure you’ve joined our WhatsApp group.

This is where I’ll be sharing reminders, preparation tips and encouragement during the cleanse — and where we can check in with each other and share how we’re getting on.

You can even use our little F = Fasting and H = Healthy Drink check-ins.

You don’t have to do this on your own.

Already part of the Autumn Reset? Your WhatsApp joining link is in your welcome email. If you can’t find it, message me and I’ll send it to you.

Below you’ll find my shopping list, juice ideas and tips to help you get prepared.

Choose your level. Listen to your body. And make the experience your own. 🍂

🛒 Your Autumn Juice Shopping List

You don’t need everything on this list. Choose your recipes first and then shop accordingly.

🍎 Fruits

Apples
Lemons
Limes

🥕 Vegetables

Carrots
Beetroot
Cucumber
Celery

🌿 Greens & Extras

Spinach or other leafy greens
Fresh ginger
Fresh mint

My tip: Apples are brilliant to have plenty of because they’re familiar from our previous fasts and work well alongside many of the vegetable combinations.

🥤 Six Juices to Try

These are deliberately flexible recipes. Fruit and vegetables vary enormously in size and juiciness, so adjust them to your taste and your juicer rather than worrying about exact measurements.

🍎 1. Our Original Apple

You’ll need:
3–4 apples
Optional squeeze of lemon
Small piece of fresh ginger

Our familiar favourite! Have it simply as apple or add lemon or ginger when you fancy a change.

🥕 2. Carrot Zinger

You’ll need:
3 carrots
2 apples
½ lemon, peeled if needed for your juicer
Small piece of ginger

Sweet from the apple and carrot with a lovely little kick from the ginger.

❤️ 3. Autumn Beet

You’ll need:
1 small beetroot
2 carrots
2 apples
½ lemon

A gorgeous deep autumn colour and a nice way to introduce more vegetable juice without losing the sweetness completely.

🥒 4. Fresh Green

You’ll need:
½ cucumber
2 celery sticks
1–2 apples
Handful of spinach
½ lemon

Fresh, green and less fruit-heavy. If you’re new to green juices, start with two apples and adjust from there.

🌿 5. Cucumber, Apple & Mint

You’ll need:
½–1 cucumber
2 apples
½ lime
Small handful of fresh mint

A really simple, fresh combination when you fancy something different from the earthier autumn juices.

🍂 6. Autumn Green

You’ll need:
½ cucumber
2 celery sticks
Handful of spinach or leafy greens
1 apple
Small piece of ginger
½ lemon

If that’s a little too green for you at first, simply add another apple.

🍏 How to Prepare

Don’t wake up on Tuesday morning and discover you have one apple and half a carrot in the fridge!

A little preparation makes the whole experience easier.

Before we begin:

1. Decide how you’re taking part.
Are you trying all three days? One day? Adding fresh juice while eating normally? There’s no prize for doing the most.

2. Choose your juices.
Pick two or three favourites. You don’t need six different recipes every day.

3. Buy your ingredients.
Wash everything and have your juicer ready.

4. Think about your diary.
If possible, don’t choose your busiest day to experiment with fasting for the first time.

5. Keep your yoga gentle and listen to your body.
This isn’t the week to prove anything.

🧘 And Don’t Forget the Meditation

For me, one of the most interesting parts of fasting is noticing what the mind starts saying when we change our normal routine.

I need a snack.

I’ll start again tomorrow.

I’m hungry… or am I bored?

This is where our meditation practice comes in.

Rather than immediately reacting, pause.

Take a few conscious breaths.

Meditate for a few minutes.

Then check in with yourself again.

Meditation isn’t about talking yourself out of genuine hunger. It’s about giving yourself a pause before automatically acting on every thought or habit.

That awareness is something we can take with us long after the three days are over.

And if your mind starts trying to talk you out of it, use the group!

Pop in, tell us how you’re getting on, ask a question or simply see how everyone else is doing.

Sometimes knowing other people are doing it alongside you is the little bit of encouragement you need to stay focused on the intention you set for yourself.

🌿 Choose Your Own Level

You are completely welcome to:

🍏 OPTION 1: Take part in the full 3-day juice-only experience, if fasting is appropriate for you.

🥤 OPTION 2: Try one juice-focused day.

🍎 OPTION 3: Enjoy fresh juices alongside lighter meals and use the experience to become more conscious of your usual eating patterns.

🌿 OPTION 4: Add a fresh juice to your normal diet and use the three days to practise mindful eating.

However you participate, stay curious about:

What am I eating?
When am I eating?
Why am I eating?
Am I physically hungry?
How am I feeling?

No judgement. Just notice.

🌅 Coming Out of Your Fast

If you’ve been juice-only, don’t think of finishing as the moment to celebrate with the biggest meal you can find!

Ease back into your normal eating pattern and pay attention to how you feel.

This is also a lovely opportunity to carry some of the awareness you’ve developed into the following days.

What habits do you actually want to bring back?

And which ones might you be ready to change?

That’s where our Autumn Reset starts moving from a short cleanse into something much more valuable — creating habits and rituals that work in everyday life.

❤️ A Little Safety Note

A juice-only fast isn’t suitable for everyone. Please don’t undertake one if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of an eating disorder, or have a health condition or take medication where fasting or significant dietary changes may be unsafe. If you’re uncertain, check with an appropriate healthcare professional first. If you feel unwell, dizzy, faint or otherwise concerned during a juice-only fast, stop the fast rather than trying to push through it.

🍂 Want to Join Us for the Full Autumn Reset?
