Detox Cleanse Hot Beverages

Golden Milk -the perfect choice for a cold wintery day!

In preparation for your 3 day detox cleanse, here are some suggestions.

I like to start my day off with a coffee or a matcha latte but during a cleanse, no caffeine allowed.

In fact there are quite a few things that you will need to avoid.

  • no alcohol
  • no caffeine
  • no dairy
  • no eggs
  • no meat, beef , pork, shellfish or raw fish
  • no gluten
  • no soy
  • no potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers
  • no strawberries, oranges,grapefruits, grapes, bananas
  • no corn
  • no white rice
  • no added sugar
  • no peanuts, though other nuts are fine !

Here is a great alternative you may enjoy first thing in the morning- golden-milk

Check out my adapted version :


2 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups almond milk
  • 4 cardamom pods, cracked or 1 tsp ground
  • 1 TBSP ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 black pepper corns
  • 2 TBSP raw honey

METHOD

  1. Place all ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a low boil and then gently simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Using a sieve , pour milk into a bowl.
  3. Serve in a mug and sprinkle with cinnamon.

I absolutely love this beverage. It is full of flavour and warms the soul. I also enjoy a cup before bed. Yum yum yum 🙂

Throughout the day consider sipping on something in addition to water :

CCF Tea – A traditional Ayurvedic tea blend designed to soothe digestive distress and promote a very gentle detoxification.

Ingredients :

1 TBSP cumin seeds

1 TBSP coriander seeds

1 TBSP fennel seeds

Mix together in a small bowl and store in an airtight container.

Add 1 cup boiling water to 1 TBSP of seed mixture and let sit for at least 5 minutes.

Broth

Sipping on broth between meals can help when you’re feeling hungry and it’s not quite time to eat !

Lots of recipes to choose from but here is the one I recommend.

Nothing too complicated 🙂
