Working for NUUDA means I spend a lot of time talking about our food. I know what goes into our meals, why we choose the ingredients we do and the thinking behind our Clean & Lean Reset, but knowing the product and actually following it for three days are two different things.

With a hen weekend coming up, I wanted a few days of eating really well to help me feel a little lighter and more balanced, without cutting out food, surviving on juices or doing anything extreme.

So, I decided it was time to actually put our flexi Clean & Lean bundle to the test myself.

What Is the NUUDA Clean & Lean Reset?

Clean & Lean is a three-day, real-food reset, created for those moments when you want a few lighter, more considered days of eating.

It isn't a juice cleanse, meal replacement or long-term diet. Instead, you get a full day of food, breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and dessert, plus a daily cold-pressed greens juice, with the decisions already made for you.

The plan has been curated with a qualified nutritionist and provides around 1,290 calories, 49g of protein and 30g of fibre per day.

Everything is gluten and dairy free, predominantly organic and made without seed oils, refined sugar or artificial additives.

What Do You Eat on the 3-Day Reset?

This was probably one of the things I was most interested in before starting. When you hear the word reset, you might picture three days of green juice and being absolutely starving.

This is very much not that.

Across the three days, the bundle includes:

Breakfasts

• Oat & chia bircher
• House beans with sunflower seed pesto*
• Banana protein pancakes

Lunches

• Free-range chicken paella
• Harissa trout
• Vegan parmigiana

Afternoon

• Energy balls
• PRESS cold-pressed greens juice

Dinner

• Cauliflower & white bean soup
• Tomato & chickpea soup
• Greens & grains soup
• Gut-friendly fibre sprinkle to add across the soups

Desserts

• Chocolate avo pot
• Mango & lime mousse
• Super berry mousse

*The house beans are recommended with a slice of sourdough or rye bread.

Why I Tried Clean & Lean

I'm going away for a hen weekend and, like a lot of us before an event or weekend away, I wanted to feel good going into it, but I didn't want to spend the week beforehand restricting what I ate or trying to undo anything.

What appealed to me about Clean & Lean was having three days where everything was already planned. I could eat proper meals, continue with normal life and work, but take a break from refined sugar, seed oils and ultra-processed foods.

My goal was simple: to see whether three days of structured, whole-food eating would leave me feeling lighter and more balanced.

And, having marketed the bundle myself, I was also quite curious to experience it from the other side.

Was I Hungry?

Probably one of the biggest questions if you're considering any kind of three-day reset. I didn't actually feel like i was on a calorie cut or even a reset at all! 

What makes Clean & Lean different from a traditional cleanse is that you're still eating throughout the day. There are three meals, an afternoon snack, juice and dessert rather than replacing food with liquids.

Did I Actually Feel Different After Three Days?

I started Clean & Lean wanting to feel lighter and more balanced before my weekend away.

Three days later i felt less bloated, had less sugary food cravings and i felt balanced. I still had enough energy to be doing my workouts, walk the dog and working busy long days! 

What I Loved & What I Didn't

What I loved

Not having to think about food
So so good. I am not a fan of deciding what is for dinner. 

Eating proper balanced meals
I am a sucker for a girl dinner (pasta pesto makes it onto the menu far too often!) so have three days of variety and balance was actually a treat.

The variety
More variety than my usual meals! 

Having something sweet every day
So good! Top tip take out of the freezer when making your soup so they defrost a bit beforehand. 

What I found harder

Honestly, it was just getting used to swapping having your main meal in the evening to having it at lunch time. 

Would I Do It Again?

Absolutely!

What I wouldn't use Clean & Lean for is trying to compensate for a weekend away or as a quick-fix diet.

For me, its value is much simpler: three days where eating well is already taken care of.

Whether life has been particularly busy, you've been eating out more than usual or you simply want a few days of real, whole-food meals without having to plan them yourself, it gives you some structure without asking you to stop eating actual food.

My Clean & Lean Verdict

Favourite breakfast: Protein Pancakes
Favourite lunch: Free-range chicken paella
Favourite dessert: Super Berry Mousse - its so good! 
Biggest surprise: Pancakes in a reset bundle! 
Hardest part: Soup for dinner - its more habit than anything. 
How I felt afterwards: Balanced, refreshed and ready to go! 
Would I do it again?: yes! 
Overall rating: 10 / 10
