4 Green Cleanse Recipes that are Easy and Filling
Apr
I am a food blogger, not a Doctor. Please consult with a medical professional before attempting any kind of cleanse.
I love a good cleanse but I’m not the kind of gal that can skip meals. I get grumpy and shaky when I skip food for even half a day. Although pushing through this dependence is part of the joy for some, it’s not my main goal for a cleanse. For me, a good cleanse is about feeling light. It helps me rest from the toxins I’m putting in my body like alcohol and sugar. Yogi Bhajan says, “A regimen of healing foods ‘bathes’ the internal organs with particular nutrients. . .” and I just love that idea!
I learned the Green Cleanse from my Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training and it’s still my go to. It’s perfect for people who are lean. If you don’t have enough body weight to give up food for a more traditional cleanse like The Master Diet, the Green cleanse is perfect. It’s a wonderful diet for women and it’s perfect for people who are highly active too. You can learn all about the Green Cleanse here.
The basics are: if it’s green – eat it! You can have mung beans and you can have around handful of pistachios a week although you should try to limit your proteins. You can eat spinach, lettuce, chard, zucchini, tomatillos, green peppers, jalapeños, poblanos, leeks, chives, leafy greens, honeydew melon, green grapes, kiwi, green apples, green onions, broccoli and so many wonderfully healthy foods!
Here are a few of my favorite and completely original Green Cleanse Recipes that I’ve created! I hope you love them as much as I do.
Macerated Kale Salad with Fresh Lime Dressing
This Kale Salad can be adapted to include all your favorite flavors! I chose to add a bit of pistachios, green onion, and golden raisins. But you could include shaved brussel sprouts, grapes, kiwi, broccoli and all kinds of things. The secret is in the dressing – which is delicious and helps soften the kale.
Green Lettuce Wraps
Green lettuce wraps are hands down my favorite meal when I am doing a green cleanse. It’s an everyday meal that you can eat over and over again. I chose to use spinach, broccoli, zucchini, green onion, tomatillo salsa and avocado but you could adapt these ingredients to your taste buds.
Green Gazpacho Recipe
This gazpacho has all the flavor of it’s red counterpart! Gazpacho, a chilled soup, is the perfect dish for summer and is remarkably easy to make.
Easy Guacamole
Just as simple as 1, 2, 3! This easy guacamole is just a smash and go recipe. If you want to spice it up, add lime, green onion, tomatillos, salt and pepper. Or you could just keep it simple with just the avocado. It’s so tasty and so easy!
Yum! Are you ready to start your green cleanse because I’m feeling inspired! And scroll down if you are looking for even more healthy and vegetarian recipes.
