While we strive to encourage healthy eating on a regular basis – not just a one-time cleanse – sometimes your body needs a bit of a reset, especially after extensive holiday indulgence. If you\u2019re feeling a bit sluggish this January, try our soup cleanse. The soups are a bit heartier than <\/span>a juice cleanse<\/span><\/a>, they\u2019re easy on the system, and are rich in nutritious ingredients to nourish yet recharge you. Best of all, unlike a more restrictive juice cleanse, you won\u2019t be left hungry (or worse – hangry).<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is designed to serve 1000 calories + 200 cals (your choice of snack and\/or protein) a day for a short period of time. <\/span>Each soup cleanse contains 3 soups, 1 salad, and 1 shot and is a 1 day cleanse, but feel free to do a longer one – maximum 5 days, once per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morning Chi:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Mushrooms, chia seeds, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper.

Build and Restore:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Sweet potatoes (rich in vitamin E, potassium and fibre) are the base for this sweet, spicy, and creamy soup. Subtle notes of curry are combined with anti-inflammatory and <\/span>antioxidant-rich turmeric.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The Salads<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

D.Tox Quinoa Salad:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Loaded with carrots, cabbage, celery, apple, fennel, cucumber, quinoa, and parsley, and served with a light balsamic vinaigrette on organic greens. A light, end-of-day meal to recharge you for the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n
