Post Holiday Reset Day
Serves: 1
Even though I eat whole plant foods, I still overindulge during the holidays, especially if we go out. It’s almost impossible not to go off plan. I absolutely stay vegan, but will most likely eat something that is not from the garden! Bread, vegetables doused with oil and salt, desserts with lots of “healthy” fats and “healthy” sugars like coconut sugar, enter my body. It’s important to get right back on track and reset the taste buds with perfectly healthy ingredients. A juice day is an effective remedy for overeating, or feeling bloated and tired. Here is my favorite way to reset, inspired by the Medical Medium’s book, Liver Rescue, which I highly recommend.
