Healthy Detox Recipe: Quinoa Bean Salad with Roasted Kale & Sweet Potato {Vegan | Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free} | www.mixwellness.com #detox #recipe #eatingcleanWe’ve been on a bit of a binge lately. No, nothing like that. It’s February, for goodness sake. A clean eating binge. Darren, in particular.  He vowed that after all of the holiday indulgences that occurred at the tail end of 2014, he wanted to join the committed women (and men) in my January 2015 Superwoman Slim Down (Real Food) Reboot. Done.

Of course, by default, this means I’m on board too. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I couldn’t in good conscience, enjoy these grain & dairy-free fudgy bean brownies, while he sipped on lemon water. That would be cruel.

I kid, I kid. This is not your average detox, filled with crazy juices, fasting, hunger, and lots of trips to the little girls’ room. It’s 100% real, clean, DELICIOUS eats. He’s even agreed that the food has been good (can I get a witness?), has rarely been hungry, and lost 7 lbs in the first 3 days (freakish men and their insane weight loss). BIG win for me.

Not to mention the fact, that while he’s got mad skills in the kitchen and grill, I would be doing the heavy lifting in the kitchen. I’m no short-order cook, so like many couples in the group, we’re both on the cleanse train. Only makes sense.

So in addition to the delicious recipes that are part of the program, I’m always looking for more to add to my rotation, not only during the cleanse, but also to enjoy after the fact. This is one of those dishes. Not only is it Superwoman Slim Down (Real Food) Reboot Phase 2-approved, it’s got sustainability for many years to come. You know how I love to recycle.

See what I mean about real, clean eats? Like I said, not your average detox. Learn more about it here.
