For a 3 day cleanse you probably want to make the recipe below twice. Once for the first 2 days, and once for day 3. The left over Kichari can be consumed for dinner on the days that you're coming out of the cleanse (and treats you to a few days free from cooking).
<aside> 🍛 This is a classic dish that grounds you, calms you, and sustains you all at the same time. I’ve added the healthy bitterness of greens to cooling herbs and spices to mellow the mental heat of a busy day. When you feel like your mind is orbiting a bunch of tasks, have a leisurely sit-down with a bowl of this, and I guarantee you will feel calmer.
