Seriously Delicious Detox Salad

Packing serious detox punch, this light and healthy salad features kale, cabbage, broccoli, green onions, almonds, and cilantro. You can chop it by hand, but to make it REALLY finely shredded, you'll want to throw it in a food processor. (via Gimme Some Oven)

Detox Kale Smoothie

In addition to containing ingredients like ginger and kale, this smoothie also boasts TONS of fiber, which can help you stay regular. This is super important, because a healthy digestive process is beneficial for ridding the body of toxins that can otherwise accumulate in the gut. (via Feel Good Foodie)

Slow Cooker Cabbage Patch Soup

Soups can really help detox — they contain lots of water to help you stay hydrated. (via The Seasoned Mom)

Turmeric Latte

Turmeric is one of those superfood ingredients that's gotten major buzz in recent years.

A turmeric latte — often referred to as golden milk — is an unbelievably healthy addition to your nighttime routine. (via Broke Foodies)

Matcha Waffles

Here's another matcha-infused breakfast option for the green tea-lovers out there. In addition to detoxifying properties, green tea also contains plenty of antioxidants to help things along. Bonus tip: To make this a truly detoxifying meal, be sure to keep it dairy- and gluten-free. These ingredients can impede the detoxification process. (via Encha)

Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte

Cooling and refreshing, this green tea latte is both delicious and detoxifying. Don't skip the step of mixing your matcha powder together with water — it needs to be a paste-like consistency before you add it to the almond milk, or your drink won't be smooth and creamy. (via Pinch of Yum)
