As much as I love all the sweet and rich foods of the holidays, every year by the time New Years rolls around I am sick of it all. Cookies, cakes, candy, sweet breads, chocolates… even a “sweet” person like me hits a wall. Before the new year begins I really start to feel lethargic and very unhealthy, and that’s when I know it’s time to get my eating back on track. With perfect timing, I received my new issue of Body + Soul in the mail today (*thank you again, Lori!) and detox smoothies were on the cover. With delicious ingredients like mango, cucumber, apples, and peaches, I’m very excited to make many of the beverages. Not too sure about adding in raw cabbage… but I guess I’m willing to give it a try.

Smoothies are the perfect breakfast on the go.
Don’t worry about throwing in a vegetable or two. Trust me, if you just toss in a handful of baby spinach or kale, you’ll never know the difference. The fruit overpowers everything. I usually throw in a tablespoon of flax too. You’re very welcome
