Detox Plan

Detox recipes from Denise Mari, founder of Organic Avenue



First thing in the morning


•Wake up your system with a trio of elixirs in any order — just down the hatch!


◦Combine 8 oz. of pure alkaline water with Organic Avenue's Alkalizing Salts, a powerful alkaline boost from Dr. Young


◦1 oz of pure aloe vera juice to improve bowel regularity and increase nutrient absorption


◦1 oz of chlorophyll, diluted with up to 8 oz. of purified water to oxygenate and boost nearly every major body system


Mid morning


•Mix a scoop of Organic Avenue's Green Powder with 1 liter of pure alkaline water for energy and a raw organic anti-aging boost


•After 20 minutes it’s time for a fresh pressed green juice. My favorite is a simple blend we call YoungLOVE* (see recipe below) that is just juiced cucumber, spinach, and celery. Remember to chew your juices — sip, enjoy and no gulping!


Lunch time


•The basic building blocks of food are carbs, plant based proteins, and fats, so for lunch enjoy healthy sources of each that also support the cleansing process:


◦Lemon Lime Shake (see recipe below) with citrus, coconut, cucumber, and avocado


◦Young Alive Green Shake (see recipe below) — green juice blended with avocado, flax oil, and Himalayan salt


◦And another liter of water with Organic Avenue's Green Powder to keep the plant-based energy going


Mid-afternoon


•Time for some nutrition with an extra flavor kick — enjoy some raw soup like carrot ginger soup (see recipe below) featuring carrots, ginger, and orange juice.


•And make time for another green juice, on the Love Young cleanse it would be the MellowLOVE* (see recipe below) — cucumber, parsley, celery, romaine lettuce, green apple


Early evening


•Give your body some ruffage to aid its nightly sweep. A simple salad of raw, organic ingredients (see recipe below) is a satisfying and delicious end to the day. Add your favorite raw vegetables or even organic edible flowers for something a little special — because cleansing is not about deprivation, it’s about abundance of health.


Later evening


•Drink only water or herbal tea after 9pm, and allow yourself to go to bed early if possible to give your body extra time for house-keeping. Look forward to waking up knowing you gave your body amazing nutrition, a break from new toxins and the support to clean up old ones.


Be sure to drink plenty of pure alkaline water throughout the day, take time throughout the day to notice your stress level and your breath and make adjustments if possible, get out and get active — even if you only have a few minutes to spare, and start again the next day. Try for 5-7 days, and feel free to rotate some different raw organic vegetables into the recipes to keep it interesting and delicious.
