5 day Detox
Level 1 (low level of intensity)
This is reasonably relaxed in comparison to some detox diets as it allows solids in the form of salads and soups and a few grains. There is no meat or dairy allowed for the five days but you are allowed to have Quinoa a few times and a few wholegrain crackers.
I have carefully planned it out to ensure you are getting some protein (eg grain + veg OR veg + nuts = complex protein) every day and you get your calcium from the green salad, spinach, Tahini, Broccoli and Almonds. The first three days you should feel energised but if you are not used to eating a vegan diet, you may feel a little tired on the fourth day. If this is the case then for lunch add some chickpeas and kidney beans into your Quinoa Tabbouleh.
It is very important that you do not get tempted to eat any meat, fish, dairy, pastry, sweets and so on during these five days.
Make sure you do drink the stipulated amount of water/tea.
The green smoothie is the foundation of this diet - don't leave it out!
You should plan a couple of days before and buy as many ingredients as possible. You can also pre-make the soups and freeze them to make it easier on yourself.
If you would like a different detox, such as a liver detox, candida cleanse or a tailor made detox plan to suit you, please send me an email at [email protected]

So here are the ingredients you will need
* Chlorella is a super food but some people can be allergic to it so always try a tip of a teaspoon first and increase every three days till you can take 1 to 2 teaspoons a day. If you are on medication, always consult with your doctor before taking chlorella. The amounts are estimated to be suitable for one person but you will have left over veg. If you are doing this with one/two people just double the amount of chickpeas, quinoa and lentils. |
Green Smothie (for aprox one pint)
Blend altogether in blender Green salad Base
Hummus Recipe 250 grams cooked chickpeas (cooked very well until soft. Alternatively use tinned but avoid tins with BPA linings and rinse really well) 3 tablespoons Tahini Juice from half a lemon 2 large garlic cloves 1 teaspoon paprika Half a fresh chili or pinch dried chili (optional) 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons water Salt pepper Preparation Add half the chickpeas to the liquidiser, add garlic,Tahini, lemon juice, oil and water. Liquidise until smooth. You may need to stop the liquidiser many times to stir the mixture. If it is not liquidising well, add a little more water but be careful not to add too much. Add the rest of the chickpeas and continue to blend - stir - blend until smooth. Add the chili. Add the amount according to your tastes. If you don't like hot food, you can opt to leave out the chili. Add salt and pepper to taste. You may want to add some more lemon according to taste. It's a personal choice and everyone makes a their own humus a little different. :-) |
