New Year Cleanse: Day 19 — Hooray for Halibut
Halibut is my fish of choice, in rotation with a meal comprised of salmon. I love halibut’s flaky white tenderness. Its ability to pair seamlessly with many side dishes is key when the family has opposing requests to complement the featured fish of the meal.
New Year Cleanse: Day 18 — Boastful About Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are one of the most maligned vegetables out there (at least they used to be). I’m not sure why, but I think it originated from days gone by when the trend was to hard boil and overcook all things green.
New Year Cleanse: Day 17 — Quick-Cooking, Quality Quinoa
This healthy grain-like seed is light in texture and pleasantly mild in taste. While on the cleanse, quinoa serves as a nice alternative to the abundance of brown rice circulating around the days of my three-week focus on mindful eating.

New Year Cleanse: Day 16 — All in for Almond Milk
Almond milk has become a favorite cleanse beverage of mine through the years. As a regular skim milk drinker, it’s easy to recognize the taste similarities these two cereal complements share.

New Year Cleanse: Day 15 — Beneficial Blueberries and Blackberries
I love waking up my mouth with these black and blue beauties! And on the cleanse, it’s so much fun to fill my mouth with a blast of sweet, juicy, and nutrient-rich goodness, a handful at a time.

New Year Cleanse: Day 14 — The All-Purpose Avocado
On or off the cleanse, I can find a way to use avocado in a variety of dishes for every meal. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this versatile fruit can be used throughout the day to make main courses and snacks more interesting. Want to break up meal monotony? Add avocado!
New Year Cleanse: Day 13 — Give it up for Grilled Chicken!
Grilled chicken lives at the heart of my family’s meat consumption. Chicken is easy to make ahead and have on hand for clean and easy protein snacking, not to mention easy go-to leftovers to incorporate in all sorts of meals throughout the week.
