There are many reasons to start a detox: you would like to kickstart your health journey, you might have lost some of your energy over the past few months or you simply want to reset your body. But one thing comes to mind when starting a detox, what if I’m hungry?
A detox shouldn’t be about depriving yourself or your body, but rather nourishing it with the nutrients it needs to thrive. After all, you should feel satisfied and happy after a body-reset, not starving and dreading the next time you’ll plan another detox for yourself!
Which is exactly why snacks are appropriate during a detox. There’s just one but: as you are eliminating processed food and added sugars to your diet, not all snacks fit the bill. Discover here 10 detox approved snack recipes to make you feel great and healthy.
