5 Recipes That Can Support Your Body's Natural Detoxification
While our bodies are naturally pretty good at working on detoxing all on their own, sometimes a little support doesn't hurt. The good news is that simple habits and delicious foods can help support the systems that facilitate your body's natural detoxification, including parsley, cilantro, dandelion root, licorice root, cayenne, turmeric, red pepper, garlic, lemon, lime, grapefruit, artichokes, beets, cruciferous vegetables, wheatgrass, milk thistle, spirulina, chlorella, and sea vegetables (like seaweed salad, nori, dulse).*

Together, the blend helps to promote a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, and—bet you can guess—support detoxification.* Below, find some of our favorite recipes featuring this simple superpower ingredient:
