\"Simple
\nI don’t particularly care for the word “detox.” \u00a0Its potential underlying meaning is one of cleansing, starving, or\u00a0subsisting on cayenne- and maple syrup-spiked water. \u00a0When I talk about a post-holiday detox, I’m referring to that period after the holidays wherein we all (don’t deny it) take a few days (some of us even take a few weeks — good for you!) to re-evaluate the food and drink<\/a> with which we nourish ourselves.<\/p>\n

I think detoxes are kind of organic, honestly. \u00a0Most of the time, our bodies crave\u00a0some green veg and clean, clear fluids after the holiday hedonism. \u00a0But, I also think it can be hard to detox if it’s a complicated endeavor. \u00a0I don’t want my children to go through a post-holiday detox, but I would prefer to make detox meals for myself that will double as meals or sides for them. \u00a0I don’t want to involve too many complicated foods or ingredients. \u00a0And, most importantly, I don’t want to restrict too much because that’ll make me a little crazy-pants.<\/p>\n

\u00a03 Post-Holiday Detox Tips + Tricks<\/h2>\n

1. Grains have a place in your post-holiday detox.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gluten-free grains (or seeds) like quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice, millet, and amaranth are healthy, filling vessels for veggies and fruits. Be sure to read the ingredient lists, though, especially if you’re purchasing flake cereals which contain any of these grains, as they may also contain corn or oats. \u00a0Try this<\/a>\u00a0perfect detox-friendly quinoa dish, which will also please those with which you co-habitate…<\/p>\n

2. Make your detox a do-able endeavor, especially if you’re trying to feed\u00a0your family.<\/h3>\n

Set your juicing equipment<\/a> and fruits and veg out the night before (or pre-juice, but note that your juice will lose nutrients if it sits).\u00a0 Make\u00a0noon or evening\u00a0dishes <\/a>which your family can also eat (at least as a side). \u00a0Purchase yourself a large reusable water bottle<\/a>, if you don’t already have one, and pre-fill it with your water and any add-ins (cucumber, lemon, etc.). \u00a0Then grab-and-go in the morning. \u00a0Keep a small container of tea in your purse, car, or desk so that it’s available when you need it. \u00a0Pre-pack raw nuts and seeds (in appropriate serving-sizes). \u00a0Also remember that, when detoxing, a homemade energy bar<\/a>\u00a0can be your bestie.<\/p>\n

3. Don’t miss the point of a post-holiday detox.<\/h3>\n

It’s to think. \u00a0It’s to remember how nourishing and fueling food can be. \u00a0It’s to try to eliminate the nasty. \u00a0Sometimes a detox will make you cranky, but if it makes you miserable for a lengthy amount of time, don’t push it. \u00a0Just be mindful about what you eat and intentional about purchasing and consuming.<\/p>\n
