Detox Recipes to Help Reset Your Body ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ‘

Through this month’s topic we’ll cover what “detoxing” really means, and how it can support you in your goals.

AND we’ll take an in-depth look at all the ingredients you can use to help rest, re-set, and restore your body to get it running at its best.

How many of these foods are you already eating, and which ones are you missing? Check out our sneak-peak recipes below to find out!


Here are just a few of the many reasons learning how to cook with detox foods will benefit your health!

โœ…(1) Better Energy Levels: These recipes and ingredients reduce and help counteract the foods that cause energy levels to fluctuate and eventually crash. Keeping you much more stable throughout the day.

โœ…(2) Stronger Immune SystemDetoxing helps take effort off of internal organs, giving them the ability to absorb nutrients faster, and leaving more energy free to protect the body from illness!

โœ…(3) Less Inflammation: All detoxifying foods share at least one thing in common- they do not cause inflammation in the body. By limiting this, we also limit joint pain, water retention, and more.

โœ…(4) Sustainable Weight Loss: The less load on our organs, the more efficiently they can convert food to energy, helping boost metabolism and aid in healthy weight loss.

โœ…(5) Optimal Digestion: By including both high-fiber and fermented foods in our recipes, we will clear out the digestive tract and support the healthy bacteria it contains. Helping us with the management of diabetes, heart and respiratory health, as well as weight-loss.

โœ…(6) Combat Chronic Disease: Detox foods are rich in antioxidants, which will protect the cells and organs from damage that leads to many chronic diseases like cancers.

โœ…(7) Clearer Thinking: As the the systems of the body clear out stagnant fluid and waste, inflammation will drop and this can help lift mental fogginess. 

โœ…(8) An Over-all Sense of Well-being: Better digestion, lower inflammation, and stronger immunity are all tied to hormone production. And we all know that increased production of serotonin equals a happier and calmer state of mind! 

So what are we waiting for? Let’s dive in and get on the road to a lighter, healthier, happier self! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘


Here’s a peek at what you’ll be making and enjoying this month:

Quickle- Easy and Fast and Fermented Vegetables

Fermentation is a fantastic way to preserve food and increase it’s flavor as well its nutritional content. All it takes is a jar, some water and salt, and just a few days to sit!

The bacteria that develops over fermentation time will improve digestion, helping you make major progress in managing inflammation, diabetes, and weight-loss.

Plus, a healthier digestive tract is linked to a reduction in symptoms of mental stress like anxiety and depression– giving you a better mood and clearer thoughts! If you’ve been hesitant to try fermentation, give this recipe a try and you’ll be delighted to see how simple it really is!

 Turmeric and Ginger Chicken Lettuce Cups

 This dish is one of the quickest you’ll ever make, with just one pan and an extremely fast saute as the only cooking method.

Lean proteins are key when cleaning out the body, providing you with slow burning energy that will last and keep you from crashing from blood sugar drops.

Garlic and ginger will lend support to the immune system, and turmeric will give all its strength towards fighting inflammation. The main compound found in turmeric is a powerful antioxidant called Curcumin, known to protect cells from free radical damage that can lead to disease and mental deterioration.

We have a feeling this one is definitely going to become a regular in your meal planning. ๐Ÿค—

Grapefruit, Greek Yogurt, and Coconut Flour Cake

In this cake we sub out the usual processed white flours, with Coconut and Almond Flours! Coconut flour is a low-carb baking alternative made from ground up, dried coconut meat and it is packed with extra mineral and nutrients.

Both of these type of flours contain more fiber than any white AP, so they are a great choice when looking for ways to fill up and balance out digestive troubles and blood sugar levels.

Digestion will get yet another boost from the probiotic cultures found in our greek yogurt topping and this, combined with the high fiber content of the cake, will help clear built up waste from the body. Who knew eating natural whole foods could taste so decadent?
