D-tox January: a month of juices, smoothies and g-free soups.
Since reading that the ideal fruit and vegetable intake to ensure effective cancer prevention through nutrition is 27 different fruits and vegetables per week, I’m on a mission to up my families weekly quota. It’s now just over two years ago that I began my treatment for stage 3 breast cancer and I’ll be eternally grateful for the incredible medical team that contributed to my becoming a survivor. While they still monitor me very closely, and I pop my daily prescribed medication as well as whopping amounts of vitamin D, I strongly believe that prevention of a recurrence of cancer is firmly in my own hands. There are, of course, many contributors to a healthy lifestyle, but nutrition (at least in my book) is one of the easier ones to grasp control of.
My conclusion on how to increase our increase of fresh organic produce is to put my blender to better daily use for juices and smoothies. My aim is to try and make a different drink 7 days a week. While thinking about where to draw inspiration for recipes that would also go down well with my family, I decided to reach out to the blogging community for help. The response has been overwhelming.
How better to start the New Year than with a consortium of incredible food bloggers, all contributing to provide you with a month of detoxifying and nourishing juices and smoothies, with a few soups thrown in too for good measure. There will be a new recipe from a different blogger throughout every day in January. At the end of the month, there’ll be a Linky tool on this page, allowing you all to contribute with your own juice, smoothie or detoxifying soup recipe. I’ll also invite comments and on the 5th of February I’ll randomly select a winner from all those who have participated through comments and links to receive a copy of the Rebecca Katz, One Bite at a Time cookbook. Not all recipes in the book are gluten free, but the majority are and there is a ton of information on how to nourish yourself in such a way as to help keep disease at bay. It’s a great book.
The calendar of contributing bloggers and the dates on which they will post their d-tox January recipes is as follows:
