Indulge and then Cleanse!
It's holiday season!!!......and one of the wonderful things about this time of year is all of the amazing food!! Though all of it is scrumptious and fantastic for our soul, it may not be so good for our bodies. The last thing we want is to feel weighed down and heavy from all of our indulging.
One way to help you stay feeling fantastic is by picking some specific foods that have properties to help "cleanse" the body. I am not a fan or advocate of cleanses like the cabbage soup cleanse, or the lemon and cayenne cleanse. It is never a good idea to sacrifice your metabolism for weight loss. However, adding in some nutritious foods into your meals can have some great health benefits!
I found a great article on Women's Health that will give you a few ideas for what to incorporate......

Here are a couple meal/snack ideas to help as well:
- chips and guacamole
- yogurt and granola
- grilled artichoke with a garlic aioli
- beet salad
- stir fry!
-potato salad with fresh dill
-veggie juice with wheatgrass, carrots, and apples
Get to cleansing! :)
