Nobody is perfect and we all have those days or weekends when we eat almost everything and anything in sight. This is especially true during the holiday season, when a plethora of goodies and treats attack your from every angle. Not even the person with the strongest will can resist the buffet! If you’re out there and can resist the temptation, we want to know you!
Overeating or overindulging happens to the best of us, but what you do after an unhealthy binge eating session is what matters most. How do you hit the reset button on your health and aid the body’s cleansing abilities quickly? Well, you can start by making this powerful detox salad, which contains an assortment of colorful vegetables that provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and more. All of those nutrients give your body the extra boost it needs to keep up your immunity and energy levels.
This salad is low-carb and loaded with scrumptious, crunchy vegetables. Carrots, broccoli, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and the optional topping of raw cashews make it highly flavorful, textural, and enjoyable. Plus, the lemony dressing adds a zesty vibrance to every bite. You have the option to throw all of the ingredients in your food processor and blend until all of the ingredients are finely chopped. If you only want to do that for the broccoli and Brussels and shred the carrots and cabbage, feel free to do so.
