5. 5-Ingredient Detox Smoothie

The Skinny: 181 calories, 1.6 g fat, 41 g carbs, 29 g sugar, 4.7 g fiber and 2.5 g protein per 2-cup serving

Antioxidant-packed berries and iron-rich kale make a nutritionally sound base for this easy detox smoothie. The ground flaxseeds in this recipe are a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, and studies suggest consuming them may even help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. Don’t skip the tofu either — it adds a bit of protein, but also helps create a nice silky texture. Add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to make this feel more like a complete meal.

6. The Ultimate Detox Salad

The Skinny: 442 calories, 38.7 g fat, 20.4 g carbs, 9 g fiber, 5.7 g sugar and 9.2 g protein per serving

This healthy salad packs in all of the fruit and veggie color families. Kale and broccoli provide vitamins A, C, B6, calcium and iron. Red cabbage is full of antioxidants and vitamin C, helps lower cholesterol and may also help lower the risk of some cancers. Carrots carry plenty of vitamin A, a nutrient essential for maintaining good vision. On top of that, avocado, walnuts and sesame seeds store a source of poly- and mono- unsaturated fats.
