If you are familiar with the content we post, then you know we laugh at the idea of a salad being a simple side dish. We direct the spotlight on the salad, allowing it to take center stage as the main course. You just need to pack it with plenty of cruciferous and colorful vegetables, heart-healthy nuts, savory beans, avocados, berries, and, most importantly, an incredible dressing. 

Make It Colorful

In order to make the perfect salad, you want to include as many nutrient-dense, filling ingredients as possible. If you can make it as colorful as possible, that is a bonus. The reason you want to include colorful foods, such as blueberries, purple cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, or bell peppers, is to diversify your antioxidant intake. This relates back to the concept of “eating the rainbow.” Eating this way not only ensures that you eat a wide range of fruits and vegetables, but also that you eat as many vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients as possible. Continue reading to learn about other tips to make a great post-holiday detox salad

Start With The Greens

Greens will form the base of your salad, but you don’t have to be traditional with your choice of leaves. Some people enjoy crispy romaine, while others prefer the diversity of spring mixed greens. Kale makes for an excellent salad base, so long as you remove the thick stems and chop it finely. Arugula is a great choice if you water a peppery base, and shredded Brussels sprouts or cabbage work well as bases for slaws. The point is that green vegetables are some of the healthiest foods on the planet! Some people abide by the phrase, “The more you eat green, the more you get lean.”

Don’t Be Afraid Of Onions

Onions, garlic, and other members of the allium family, exhibit unique flavor profiles. They have a strong bite, but a lot of health benefits come with that intensity. For example, onions exhibit impressive anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties because of their sulfide compounds. The same compounds that make your eyes tear up benefit your health! If you need to tame the intensity of onions, soak them in a little sea salt and lemon/lime juice. You can also crush up fresh garlic to incorporate into your salad dressing. Fun fact: crushing the garlic actually releases the health properties!

Bring Legumes To The Party

Legumes are naturally rich in fiber and protein, two things that help fill you up. When you add them to salads, they add a starchy creaminess that is very hard to replicate. In fact, you keep aiming for black beans, kidney beans, or garbanzo beans bite after bite! Most beans are naturally rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, in addition to resistant starch. Plus, several studies found that they exhibit anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Dress For Success

Before you dig into your big bowl of greens, colorful vegetables and fruits, onions, and legumes, you need a proper dressing. You can go with a simple vinaigrette using olive oil, your favorite vinegar, and sea salt and pepper, or you can blend several ingredients into a dressing. If you prefer creamy dressings, consider blending avocado, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, and salt and pepper. Once your dressing is ready to go, drizzle it over your salad, toss to coat all the ingredients, and serve. When ready to eat, you can top with some almonds, walnuts, cashews, or other nuts and seeds of your choice.

The holidays are filled with love, joy, merriment, family, and lots and lots of food. Too often are holiday dishes rich, heavy, and filled with unhealthy fats and excess salt. The worst part is that these unhealthy dishes are not just at the big holiday gathering. Coffee shops, work parties, gatherings with friends, and other events during this time of year feature an assortment of fattening foods. They are incredibly delicious, which is why they are so hard to resist. 

At a certain point, though, your body lets you know that it’s time to lighten the load. After all, the body can only take so much! The feelings of fullness last beyond the big meal because people continue eating leftovers for days. This is perfectly common, and most people call the remaining days of the year a wash because their fitness or health goals start on January 1st. Don’t be that person because that attitude can propel poor eating habits into the New Year. You want to get a head start on your healthy eating!

It’s perfectly acceptable to abandon ship, veer from the norm, and start making recipes that are much easier on the body after the holidays. Learn the leftover lesson from previous years and get back on the path to better health before the New Year. To help encourage detoxification, though, you need to eat the right foods. The following recipes should aid your detox efforts after some serious holiday eating. Let us know which recipe is your favorite in the comments below.

The persimmon is a fall and winter fruit (available from October to February) that is uniquely plump and sweet. It is an underrated fruit, primarily because a lot of people ignore them in the grocery store. They know what the fruit looks like, but since they don’t know what to do with it, the fruit remains in the store. For those who love persimmons and have countless recipes, we applaud your culinary knowledge and skills. If you are familiar with persimmons, then you know they are not for everyone, especially, kids, but this smoothie may change the way the little ones feel about the unique fruit.

If you are new to persimmons, it can be tricky to determine their ripeness. Just like other fruits, persimmons taste best when you allow them to fully ripen. Hachiya persimmons take a little longer to ripen than Fuyu persimmons, which you will want to buy for this recipe. Many people think that Fuyu persimmons have a sweeter flavor profile and that they are less astringent than Hachiya persimmons. A Fuyu persimmon is ripe when it is a little squishy, but still slightly firm to the touch. Firm Hachiya persimmons are very tart, and only sweeten up once they fully ripen.

As far as flavor goes, Fuyu persimmons have a mild taste with a honey-like flavor. You can eat them raw, removing the tops and the skin before slicing them up. Just make sure to discard any large seeds, especially before you blend them into this smoothie. The persimmons are the only fruit or vegetable in this smoothie and they are slightly sour, the homemade almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice will balance that tartness. We hope you (and the kids!) love this simple persimmon smoothie. It’s definitely one for the books that is very easy to make.

Who is ready to do away with the classic holiday side dishes? Before we offend anyone, you do not have to get rid of grandma’s recipes or anything like that. Instead, maybe you can include different sides at your holiday meals or parties this year. Too often do vegetables take a back seat at the holiday spread. If you see veggies on the table, they are most likely stripped of nutrients and prepared in an unhealthy way. This recipe departs from a dish of boring steamed carrots and pivots to change peoples’ minds about carrots. They will be an instant classic at your table!

It is very easy to roast vegetables that have a lot of flavor. The tricky part of roasting vegetables is cooking them evenly. The easiest way to get an even cook is to cut them uniformly. Thicker pieces will obviously take a lot longer to cook than thinner pieces. For this carrot recipe, you cook the carrots whole after peeling them. If the carrots you purchase are thick, feel free to cut them in even sticks to ensure an even roast. By the time the carrots are done, you want them to be fork-tender and caramelized, but not mushy. That is why the roasting time depends on the size of the carrots.

Now, tarragon is an underutilized herb in most households, but a lot of people don’t know how to use it. You only see fresh tarragon in teh spring and summer, but you can purchase dried tarragon any time of year. Tarragon has a subtle taste and is popular for flavoring, its medicinal properties, and for its fragrance. It pairs well with asparagus and carrots and goes great in soups and stocks. It is also rich in manganese, which is an essential nutrient that reduces oxidative stress in the body and plays several roles relating to metabolism, growth, and brain health.

Cranberries are not only reserved for cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. You can impart the sweet-tart cranberry flavor into myriad recipes! From snacks and appetizers to entrees, desserts, and more, cranberries find their way into unique fall and winter favorites. Since they are only available for a short while, get your hands on them to make some of the recipes in this article.

Cranberries primarily consist of carbs and fiber, but they are also 90% water. They are some of the best sources of antioxidants, which work to fight free radicals. The most common health benefit associated with cranberries is the fact that they may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). A-type proanthocyanidins prevent the binding of E. coli in the bladder, a common first step in getting an infection. If you usually develop UTIs, you may want to incorporate fresh cranberries, or fresh cranberry juice, into your diet. This is an excellent proactive approach to living a healthier lifestyle. 

The same A-type proanthocyanidins, which only exist in cranberries, that reduce the risk of UTIs also reduce bad bacteria in the gut. More research is necessary, but preliminary research shows that cranberries promote optimal digestive health. Lastly, and then we will provide you with the recipes, the certain antioxidant compounds in cranberries may exhibit anti-cancer properties. Needless to say, cranberries are superfoods that deserve a featured spot in your diet.

We are in the thick of cold and flu season, people! For this reason it is integral to enhance immune function, which is why we are providing you with some nutrient-dense recipes in this article. The unfortunate reality is that there is no magic pill or silver bullet that magically transforms the immune system into a forcefield that protects the body from everything. And the sad reality is that most immune-boosting recommendations seem boring. Hopefully, the recipes in this article are anything but boring to your taste buds!

Why Is The Immune System So Important?

In brief, the immune system protects the body from harmful substances, including germs, bacteria, fungi, and pathogens. As long as it is running smoothly, you don’t even notice the immune system’s existence. If it stops working properly, either because of aggressive germs or general weakness, you will get sick. Some germs may only make you ill the first time you encounter them, while others may cause sickness time and again. When the immune system is working properly, it:

  • Activates and mobilizes to neutralize germs that can harm the body
  • Ends the attack once the threat has been taken care of
  • Distinguishes between cells that are yours and those that do not belong in the body
  • Learns about germs after you have come in contact with them, and develops antibodies against them
  • Sends out those antibodies to destroy germs that attempt to enter the body in the future

You can improve sleep hygiene, exercise regularly, spend time outside, and eat healthy foods to maintain healthy immune function. Rather than just giving you a list of foods to eat, we are providing you with tasty recipes that may contribute to more efficient immune function. 

Green Juice Shots

Feeling a little sluggish lately? Boost your energy, enhance immune function, and improve digestion with these green juice shots.
