IntroThe Detox recipes are designed to act as a jumpstart to your new healthy lifestyle and to support your body during the Detox program. The diet plan includes a wide variety of produce, proteins, healthy fats and some sweet treats to encourage detoxification, weight loss and cellular healing… and tastes delicious too!

7-Day: Detox

Choose when possible: y 100% grass-fed (and finished) , organic and local animal products y Organic, local and seasonal produce y Raw, organic, cultured and 100% grass-fed dairy products

Avoid as much as possible: y Toxic vegetable oils (i.e. corn, canola and soybean commonly used in restaurants… ask questions!) y Avoiding non-approved grains and ALL refined sugars until inflammation is decreased y Factory farmed animal products y Genetically Modified Organisms, a.k.a GMOs (corn and soy are the top offenders)

The Heavy Hitters: y Lemon

� Lemon is basically a detox present wrapped in a yellow peel! Antibacterial, antiviral, antiinflammatory and immune-boosting, lemon naturally detoxifies the body, stimulating digestion and cleansing the liver. Bet you didn’t know it also helps abandon acne, abolish anxiety and fight fatigue.

y Ginger � Ginger is a true superfood for its ability to stimulate circulation (no more cold hands and feet!), aid

digestion and cleanse the body of toxins. Sipping ginger tea is a great way to relieve your belly after overeating, plus ginger’s spicy kick curbs cravings for other sweet additives.

y Cucumber � Cucumber, a favorite of beauty experts around the world, is a fabulous diuretic! It removes bloat and

puffiness from your belly in the same way it relieves inflammation when placed on your eyelids. It aids in weight loss by encouraging the elimination of waste from the body, and is favored as the perfect weight-loss snack due to its low caloric count and high water content.

Targeted Vegetables:Focus mainly on 4-6 servings of this a day of these vegetables:

y Brussels Spouts, Kale, Broccoli, Bok Choy, Red Radish, Cabbage, Artichoke, Asparagus, 2 servings of seaweed

ER Baked Salmon with Asparagus

Lentil Soup1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped2 carrots, peeled and chopped4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced2 teaspoons ground cumin1 teaspoon curry powder1/2 teaspoon dried thyme1 large can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained1 cup brown or green lentils, picked over and

rinsed

1 large salmon fillet (or 4-6 single portion fillets)1 pound asparagus spears, ends trimmed1/4 cup olive oilThe juice of 1 medium lemon, plus additional

lemon

optional: fresh herbs for topping

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.

2. Arrange salmon in the center of the pan and arrange asparagus around the sides of the pan. Arrange lemon slices under the edges of the salmon. Season salmon and asparagus with salt and pepper.

3. In a small sauce pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Once melted stir in garlic and Italian seasoning. Pour mixture over salmon and asparagus. Bake for 10 minutes, then change oven to broil and cook another 5-7 minutes. Top with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

4 cups vegetable broth2 cups water1 teaspoon salt, more to tastePinch red pepper flakesFreshly ground black pepper1 cup chopped fresh collard greens or kale,tough ribs removedJuice of 1/2 to 1 medium lemon, to taste

slices for garnish (optional)3 teaspoons minced garlic1 & 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoningsalt and pepper to taste

1. Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. One-fourth cup olive oil may seem like a lot, but it adds a lovely richness and heartiness to this nutritious soup. 2. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and carrot and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, curry powder and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often, in order to enhance their flavor.

3. Pour in the lentils, broth and the water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.

4. Transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender. Protect your hand from steam with a tea towel placed over the lid and puree the soup until smooth. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot and add the chopped greens. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the greens have softened to your liking.

5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the juice of half of a lemon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice until the flavors really sing. Serve immediately. Leftovers will keep well for about 4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for several months (just defrost before serving).

6. Serve Baked Asparagus or Roasted Broccoli on the side

Zoodles4 small zucchini, spiralized or julienned1 cup cherry tomatoes1 teaspoon olive oilHalf an avocado1/4 unsweetened coconut yogurt1/2 cup water1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and stems

2 small garlic cloves2 cups kale1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepperA squeeze of fresh lime juice

1. In a food processor, pulse avocado, yogurt, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper and lime juice until smooth. This will be a bit thick, but will loosen when added to the hot noodles in the pan.

2. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are starting to blister and soften.

3. Add zucchini noodles and kale. Continue to cook another 2-3 minutes, just until noodles and hot and soft. You don’t want to overcook the zucchini as it tends to get soggy. If you find that excess moisture is created, you can drain out a bit of the water or blot with a paper towel. Some liquid is fine.

4. Remove from heat and immediately add desired amount of sauce to the pan. Toss and serve immediately.
