THE 5-DAY DETOX FOOD PLAN

Sunday Prep

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

2. Make the Gluten-Free Seeded Crackers—they keep well all week.

3. Poach the chicken for the Classic Chicken Salad.

4. Make the Parsley Pesto—it’s simple, and then that’s one less thing to do during the week.

5. Make the Greener Goddess Soup—it holds well throughout the week.

SNACK TIME

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

• Brown rice cake + avocado + everything bagel spice

• 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 swap for a kelp or mushroom broth. We like the OWL Venice Organic Vegan Mineral Broth Elixir, which ships nationally. Use whatever works for you as the base of the Chicken and Vegetable Bone Broth Soup, but modify the recipe by bulking up with more vegetables and try adding cubes of tofu instead of the shredded chicken. (Yes, tofu is soy, but it’s fine in moderate amounts if you need more plant-based variety during your reset—you know best what your body needs.)

• Chickpeas will go a long way here: You can use them as a substitute for the chicken in the Cashew Chicken Wraps. Same goes for the Classic Chicken Salad—use two cups of rinsed chickpeas and rough chop them.

• Adding kelp noodles, chickpeas, toasted pumpkin seeds (½ cup), and extra spinach to the Winter Salmon recipe (sans salmon) will take the dish in a new direction but will get you to the right place nutritionally. The finished product will be more of a twist on a stir-fry.

• Use the Grilled Chicken Paillard recipe to prepare a tofu steak—slice a block in half and treat it the same as you would chicken.

• Here’s how 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 binding agent for all the ingredients to form a patty. Instead of grilling the patties, bake them on a greased parchment-paper-lined sheet tray at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
