Super Easy Morning Detox

I have been looking for a super easy way to get in a daily detox. So when I saw this posted on Instagram I instantly thought: "I can do that!" and more importantly, I know I can do it consistently without any complicated ingredients or prep!

Since I reposted this image on Instagram, I've had some fabulous followers comment that also adding maple syrup and/or dash of cayenne pepper increases the detox effects of this simple water concoction even more!

And on the topic of detox, I never wanted to do a detox before because when people described what they were eating and drinking during their detox I thought: yuck!!!

Well, alas, detoxing is no longer about eating bland, boring food that has you running to your nearest fast food place by Day 3 of your detox from gastly food.

For examples of the "new" way to detox, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite recipes from my Curva-Lish partner food52's recipe page. All you have to do is go there and search "detox".

Their detox recipes include the following:

Orange & Green Tea Detox Smoothie

Author Notes: Full of fiber and slightly sweet, this detox smoothie will fill you up and keep you going! —garlic and zest

Salmon & Orange Detox Packet

Author Notes: Fish is a great ingredient for a detox plan. Especially if we’re talking a gourmet detox! I found inspiration for this dish on the Real Simple magazine site. —Claudia | Gourmet Project

Apple Detox Salad

Author Notes: Just 4 basic ingredients – apple, beetroot, orange and raw spinach. This salad is exactly what it says – it’s a mixture of ingredients that cleanses and invigorates  —Maria Teresa Jorge

Detox Hot Chocolate (Great for those sweet cravings!)
