Detox drinks are a great way to restore some health and bring some nutrients back into your body after a few days of feasting! There are many different ingredients you can incorporate into your drinks, like charcoal in this Black Detox Smoothie from Natalie Yonan. Ginger is well-known for its detoxing capabilities, as you can see with Nikki and Zuzana‘s Goji Berry and Ginger Smoothie!

Turmeric is a very valuable ingredient in your post-Thanksgiving detox. This awesome ingredient has a long list of benefits that can help with your health, so don’t leave it out of your detox meals! Try it in a Healing Turmeric Golden Juice from Celeste Meredith, or in Caroline Doucet‘s Warm Ginger Turmeric Milk.

Detox soups are our go-to whenever we’re not feeing quite up to 100%. Not only are they great for the body, but they’re delicious, warm and comforting as well. The very best part of the season! Speaking of the season, utilize seasonal veggies like in this Tender Turmeric and Squash Soup from Taylor Kiser. Throw some more seasonal veggies in this Quinoa and Black Bean Detox Soup from Linda Wagner!

Ginger is a fantastic addition to a fall detox soup. That warming, spicy sensation will have you up and active in no time. Test it out with Gabriela Lupu‘s Sweet Potato Soup with Ginger! Add a little more spice with curry in this Carrot Ginger Soup with Curried Raisin Relish from Nikki and Zuzana!

You could also swap the quinoa for hearty brown rice and try out an awesome dressing in this Roasted Brussels Sprouts Brown Rice Salad With Sesame Orange Dressing from Tori Cooper!

If brussels sprouts aren’t your thing, don’t worry, we’ve got other options for you too! Beets are a great seasonal detox ingredient, and if you’ve never tried a beet salad then what are you waiting for? Get started with an awesome Orange Vinaigrette Beetroot Salad from Melissa Tedesco.
