Several recipes in these meal plans include Collagen Protein as an ingredient. Further Food Collagen Peptides are made from grass-fed, pasture raised bovine. Collagen is keto and paleo friendly, free of gluten, dairy, sugar and soy, and dissolves completely with no added taste. Collagen protein powder will also keep you 40% more satiated than whey or soy protein, helping keep you full and curb sugar cravings. Pescetarians and vegetarians can use Further Food Marine Collagen made from wild caught Atlantic cod. Additionally, some recipes feature Turmeric Tonic an anti-inflammatory blend of superfoods and adaptogens and Mindful Matcha, a brain boosting superfood blend of organic matcha, mushrooms and superfoods. However, these are all optional ingredients and feel free to leave them out.

Hi! I gather from what I’ve read (well, sort of just scanned at this point) that dairy foods (cheese & milk) as well as nut milks are not included in the detox plan. Also, I really don’t cook often. I live alone, work & have no time! Is it cool to just make wise choices from the Yes & No food guide?
Hi Linda: Thanks for the question. Depending on the type of meal plan you are doing, dairy foods can be eaten in moderation. Nut milks are definitely allowed as long as they do not have any added sugars. The yes and no guide is a great guideline for you. Good luck!
I have food intolerance to Salycitates what things can I replace with
Mary: Thanks for reaching out. We don’t specifically mark recipes as containing salycitates. However, if you know the foods that you are sensiive to, we recommend omitting them and replcing with non-salycitates foods in the recipes. For instance, if you cannot eat broccoli, you can substitute that vegetable with cauliflower or spinach. If you are sensitive to certain spices, then either omit them or replace them with ones that have worked before. Additionally, you might find it helpful to work with a nutritionist who can personally tailor a menu to suit you. Good luck!
Does this come in booklet form with all the recipes that can be downloaded?
Hi Emma: Thanks for the question. For now, the recipes are available online-you can print out the meal plan chart and some of the recipes that you want to make. We love the idea of a booklet and will work on making one available at some point for future detoxes.
