Clean Slate: A Cookbook and Guide: Reset Your Health, Detox Your Body, and Feel Your Best

Anyone who has given up the standard American diet and switched over to whole, unprocessed, real foods has surely noticed a difference in their health and energy levels. If you’re interested in cutting out the extra sugar and unnecessary fat (but not all the fat, by any means) and getting back to cooking from scratch, the editors of Martha Stewart Living present Clean Slate, which is so much more than a cookbook. It begins with a list of guidelines for eating well and includes three-day and twenty-one-day meal plans for cleansing your palate and getting started. The recipes in this cookbook are simply amazing: breakfasts like Breakfast Vegetable-Miso Soup with Chickpeas and Banana-Apple Buckwheat Muffins; eighteen delicious juice and smoothie recipes, including a Spiced Papaya Smoothie; plenty of meat-free entrees, such as Roasted Squash with Grains, Grapes, and Sage; healthy snacks, like Roasted Cauliflower Yogurt Dip; protein-packed dinners, from Grilled Tofu with Chimichurri on Toast to Wild Salmon with Lentils and Arugula; and desserts, of course, full of healthy ingredients and plenty of fruit but still so indulgent (give Fig and Walnut Biscotti a try). With delicious ingredients, easy-to-follow instructions, and gorgeous pictures, Clean Slate deserves a place on your bookshelf.
