When you hear the word “detox” do you run screaming as far away from your blender as you can get? A January detox doesn’t have to be all about restriction of certain food groups (i.e., meat, gluten, dairy, sugar, alcohol, or caffeine), and it doesn’t necessarily have to feature a line up of nothing more than green juices or steamed kale and cabbage. Ewwwwwwww!
The truth is you can refocus your healthy eating habits in January with a line-up of fresh, clean, and naturally detoxifying and nutritious meals (yes, recipes that actually contain solid food) like these…
1. Mint Brussel’s Sprouts
Start things off slow in the New Year by accompanying your favorite filet of fish or grilled chicken breast with a detoxifying side dish. These mint Brussel’s spouts can provide a nutritious side or the base of a fresh salad, warm of chilled. Toss lightly steamed sprouts in a zesty marinade of cumin, ginger, and sherry vinegar. Sprinkle with crunch with flax and chia seeds, and arrange on mixed greens or brown rice. Top with mint leaves, crushed pistachios, and a lemon drizzle.
