We are excited by all of the interest in our Wellness Programs, particularly the Raw Food Detox plans. It is so gratifying to witness people ready and determined to take their health and healing into their own hands. And we are here to help you! If you are interested in using nutrition to heal, we urge you to take advantage of the great discount we are offering this week over on Living Social.
Our Juice Cleanses and Meal Plans are all meant to support the healing process, by providing optimum nutrition to put your body in the best position to start healing itself. The New Family Naturals healing program involves temporarily “detoxing” or eliminating certain substances from your diet and replacing them with nutrient-dense, raw foods and vegetable juices.
Here are just a few of the things you should know about our healing meal plan.
What to Expect - The Food
All of our Cleansing Meals are:
- Gluten Free
- Dairy Free
- Low Fat
- Free of Refined Sugars
- Nut Free
- Vegetarian and Vegan
- Organic and All Natural
Everyday includes a shot of Wheatgrass Juice, an abundance of green, leafy vegetables, a hearty entrée, and a serving of nutrient dense sprouts. All meals are meant to optimize cleansing and therefore are lower in salt, sugar and fat. There are no nuts, unlike many other gourmet raw programs, as nuts may slow the cleansing process. Limited amounts of avocado, as well as a variety of seeds are used to provide complexity as well as added protein and calcium.
Here is a sample of what some days might look like:
Breakfast: Spiced Melon Soup
Midmorning: Shot of Wheatgrass
Lunch: Taco Salad with (vegan) Queso, avocado and Flax Crackers
Dinner: Fresh Collard Wraps with Zesty Dipping Sauce
Breakfast: Citrus Platter
Midmorning: Shot of Wheatgrass
Lunch: Large salad with sprouts, raw crackers and fermented veggies
Dinner: Living Lasagna, with zucchini noodles, marinated vegetables and fresh basil marinara.
Breakfast: Green Vegetable Juice
Midmorning: Shot of Wheatgrass
