This Sugar Free + Grain Free Granola is a totally satisfying, crunchy snack. Naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and packed with a cornucopia of nuts and seeds. Gluten Free! By the end of day three of my detox, I was really bored with snacking on almonds. There needed to be an alternative and did I…

Sugar Free & Gluten Free Banana Bread + Detox Days 11 & 12 Recaps aka The End!
So, as I mentioned on Day 9 , I went on a little banana bread bender. Thankfully, I didn’t compromise my cleanse as this particular banana bread is totally detox friendly. It’s sugar free, grain free and gluten free and, as evidenced by the fact only the crumbs remain, we . loved . it . Super…

Spicy Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry + Detox Days 6-8 Recaps
My main objective with this detox is to really increase my fruit and veggie intake. That is something that can get a little stale. Smoothies are super good because you can pulverize and drink down a healthy amount of greens but, as far as meals are concerned, I can sometimes have a harder time coming…
Detox Smoothie + Day 3 Recap
This Detox Smoothie is a welcome change. Even though I’m OK with a little repetition and I understand that cleanses might not always be fun, but after two days of this Green Smoothie, it was time to switch up my game to keep things fresh. Lemon is like an ultimate detoxifier. Ever wonder why…
Twelve Days of Detox – Day 2 Recap
Similar to Day 1, the second day of my detox went fairly smoothly. Considering the last couple of cleanses I’ve done have been of the juicing variety, I’m finding it nice to enjoy whole foods while still detoxing. Being a creature of habit helps with these sorts of challenges. Routines are something I enjoy. That…
Detox Vegetable Soup + A Recap of Detox Day 1
Well, hello! Welcome to my “Twelve Days of Detox” journal. Before I get down to business I should quickly mention a couple of things: Firstly, I’m not a doctor. Shocking, I know.

My Cleanse is Over!
Almost … Instead of coffee I’m sipping on some hot, homemade vegetable broth. Saturday marked the last day of ten (!) days on the Master Cleanse and now I’m almost finished. I say almost because I do a three day ease in and ease out period. Yesterday I drank fresh OJ all day long and…
Master Cleanse – Day Seven
I’m seven days into my Master Cleanse. Four days longer than my first time. It has been fairly smooth thus far. The first half was relatively easy but now I’m finding the cravings are getting stronger. I made Joe Chili Lime Chicken and baked potato for dinner and was literally hovering over him in a…
Master Cleanse – Halfway Update!
As this is posted I will be on Day Five of my Master Cleanse. Phew! I’m happy to report that time is going pretty quickly. I’ve actually had a super busy past few days, which I think has helped. If you’re just tuning in, I have embarked on my second Master Cleanse. Unlike the first…
Springtime Master Cleanse
Yesterday was the first day of Spring. You wouldn’t know it in my neck of the woods as apparently this is going to be the Winter that never ends. We still have heaps of icy, dirty snow lining the sidewalks and don’t get me started on the massive, ten-foot high piles of black, filthy snow…
