Not surprisingly, committing to (and following through) on any kind of cleanse can be trying. There is an abrupt change in how we think about food, drink, and meal planning. No more just tossing a bag of nuts into your bag for a long day. You have to be a bit more conscious of what your consuming. The big picture though–cleansing is an incredibly beneficial process, both for your body and mind. You will break free from bad habits and dependencies you may have developed, and you will give your body the opportunity to stop cravings. If you can get through the more trying moments of a cleanse, it is so worth it. This salad really simplifies the cleansing process for me…it is incredibly easy to prepare, fresh, satisfying, and never gets old. If you just keep these salad ingredients and other fresh alkalizing veggies on hand, you’ll always have a perfect way to nourish yourself in times of detox distress….

This is the Toujis take on the amazing traditional Korean rice dish “Bibimbap”. So many different flavors to enjoy, it’s a real treat. Make sure when you’re preparing the individual ingredients, that you chop them finely enough…the goal is that you will taste every flavor in each bite….
Picked every single one of these beauties and made the most DELICIOUS, fresh green juice ever….
How fitting that this pink beauty enhances your beauty (and health) as well. Radishes are rich in silica, which strengthens skin, hair and nails. So I typically add them to fresh juices when I’m looking to give my skin a little extra love….
