Detox Shopping List

The 7-Day Detox starts on Monday, January 9th! The Detox is outlined in SKINNY DISH!, and here is the shopping list for all 7 days. (For folks who don’t have SKINNY DISH! yet, I’m posting the menus in the menu bar above). Most households only have 1 fridge, so you may need to make a 2nd trip for produce mid-week. Just be sure you get the refrigerated ingredients for the first 3 or 4 days on your first trip. The list will provide enough food for 1-2 Detoxers. Trader Joe’s shoppers can’t buy in bulk, but if you’re shopping at stores with ample bulk sections, specific amounts have been noted. Also for Trader Joe’s shoppers, the dark leafy greens are by the bag (Kale, and Southern Greens Blend), with each one equivalent to about 1 large bunch of kale or collards/mustard greens). Items should be organic when possible, especially celery, dark leafy greens, salad greens, apples, and bell peppers as they are highest in pesticides when grown conventionally.
