After a wonderful month of butter cookies, eggnog and other sundry delights, it is time to clean the pipes. I have a couple of cleanses that I really like and think can work for different metabolisms and temperaments. One of my favorites is the Colorado Cleanse:      http://lifespa.com/cleansing/colorado-cleanse/  which can be adapted to suit your needs. I often make this salad for the first four days (although the mustard is not really allowed)

but the oily delight of the avocado with the zing of citrus ginger kraut is very satisfying. I have also heard great things about what these ladies are up to: http://consciouscleanse.com/

and am eager to try it out this month. I will let you know how it goes!

Here is to a month of vibrant health for all.
