How Much Is a Soup Cleanse? While Splendid Spoon is 100 percent plant based, other soup cleanses, like Soupure, offer a combination of veggie soups and bone broths. Another great option is the vegan soup cleanse Soupelina, which delivers in LA, but also offers a cookbook with customizable three- and five-day cleanses.

For the Splendid Spoon cleanse, a full week of 15 meals (that's breakfast and lunch for five days, plus the four drinkables and one soup day), you'll have to fork over $135 plus taxes. That works out to $9 a meal by their math, but they are counting all five drinks on the full cleanse day as a meal. If you normally just eat three meals, it comes out to about $11 a meal. And remember, you're on your own for dinner -- which isn't always a bad thing. If you're looking to save money, these prices can seem a bit high, but if you want an easy cleanse that won't leave you starving, it's worth considering. The company also offers a cookbook, which likely brings costs down.

For comparison, a Soupure cleanse of 24 drinkable soups, goes for $270 delivered.

Splendid Spoon was founded with the goal of "making getting healthy easy, as we're all so busy," Hannah Hoskins, Community & Content Manager, explained to Total Beauty. It's for people who "want to lose weight or reset eating habits."
