Detox Recipes

A three day detox is a wonderful way to refresh your body. There are plenty of ideas on the web to get you started. My favourite regime is to use good living juices and soups. After a weekend of celebration and treats for my son's birthday this is the way to go. Here are some ideas for juice recipes. Combine fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices and water or coconut water to boost your body.
