    Although we cleanse twice a year, detox lentil vegetable soup recipe keeps the cleansing going all year round.  Obviously, the best detox is to stop putting harmful foods into your body.  But, as we all know, we can't control everything other than what we put into our bodies.

    A JUICE CLEANSE OR FOOD CLEANSE? WHICH IS BETTER?

    For instance, in a previous post, To Cleanse or Not to Cleanse?, I explain why my husband and I juice cleanse twice a year, drinking only juice. The belief around detoxing is to deal with environmental exposure to toxins, gastrointestinal health, and autoimmune diseases, regardless of their origins. During the cleanse, one juice we love is celery juice, which is high in levels of vitamin C and K, and assists in digestion and detox.

    OTHER WAYS TO BEGIN YOUR DAY WITH A HEALTHY CLEANSE

    Also, I start each day with a cup of warm lemon water. All you need to do is squeeze fresh, organic lemon into a cup of warm water to get your digestion flowing. Another trick is to drink two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in water to aid in healthy digestion. Both versions help get everything moving before you even begin your day. Regardless of your current diet, or health, detoxing provides an added health benefit to your diet.

    HOW TO MAKE DETOX LENTIL VEGETABLE SOUP RECIPE

    Throughout the year, I also like to make soups, as well as salads and main dishes which contain cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens.  Detox Lentil Vegetable Soup, for example, contains a combination of detoxifying vegetables with an organic vegetable broth. For this particular batch, I used celery, carrots, garlic, onion, spinach, ginger, and turmeric. As a result, each vegetable chose contributes to detoxification.

    Health professionals claim cruciferous vegetables boost liver health through anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. They’re also high in fiber, which encourages the excretion of toxins. Spinach, for instance, contains chlorophyll, which contains detoxifying plant pigment. Garlic and onions, for example, help boost your body’s ability to process food and eliminate waste.

    Of course, lentils are high in fiber and protein, another added bonus to the digestion system.

    As I have said many times, my crockpot is my LOVE appliance. not only does this soup taste fabulous, but I also make it in the crockpot, so it cooks while you work.

    Since it's getting cold outside, detox lentil vegetable soup is the perfect soup to ward off germs and colds.

        Kae, Of course you can. They all cook at the same rate. I mix mine all the time. I also mix red and white quinoa when I have a little of both.
