5-DAY DETOX MEAL PLAN

Sunday Preparation

1. Low bone broth. This is the hardest and longest recipe you will have to make. Better get it up and out of the way. You can also buy good quality bone broth: FUND is our current favorite (and ships nationally). Beard is also a good option – it ships frozen (and if you’re in New York, you can order from one of their local stores).

2. Low Gluten-free crackers with seeds– they keep well all week.

3. Poach the chicken Classic chicken salad.

4. Low Parsley pesto—it’s simple, and then it’s one less thing to do during the week.

5. Low Greener goddess soup– it lasts well all week.

SNACK TIME

Feel free to add other snacks when you need and want. Our favorite detox-friendly combinations don’t require a recipe:

• Brown rice cake + avocado + all bagel seasoning

• Green apple + almond butter + cinnamon

• Dates + tahini + flaky sea salt

• Cucumber + hummus + olives

• Coconut yogurt + berries + chia seeds

FOR PLANT-BASED EATERS

• For the bone broth, feel free to substitute seaweed or mushroom broth. We like OWL Venice Organic Vegan Mineral Bouillon Elixir, which is shipped nationally. Use whatever works for you as the base for the chicken and vegetable stock soup, but modify the recipe by adding more vegetables and try adding tofu cubes instead of the shredded chicken. (Yes, tofu is soy, but it’s fine in moderation if you need more plant-based variety during your reset—you know best what your body needs.)

• Chickpeas come a long way here: You can use them as a substitute for the chicken in Cashew Chicken Wraps. The same goes for the classic chicken salad – use two cups of rinsed chickpeas and roughly chop them.

• Adding seaweed noodles, chickpeas, roasted pumpkin seeds (½ cup), and extra spinach to the winter salmon (sans salmon) recipe will take the dish in a new direction, but will get you in the right place nutritionally. The finished product will be more of a twist on a batter.

• Use the Grilled Chicken Paillard recipe to prepare a tofu steak – cut a block in half and treat it the same way you would chicken.

• To swap cannellini beans for the turkey in the turkey burgers: Take two 16-ounce cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and shaken dry. Mash half of them to create a sticky binder for all the ingredients for a patty. Instead of grilling the steaks, bake them on a greased parchment paper-lined sheet pan at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
