Get your metabolism humming and jump-start your health with these 3 recipes from Living Plate's 21-Day Cleanse Meal Plan.  Inspired by registered Dietitians Jeanne Petrucci and Julie Harrington, these low-glycemic recipes are aimed at stabilizing blood sugar, maintaining healthy weight, normalizing hormones, promoting healthy digestion, and reducing inflammation associated with many chronic diseases.  1. 10-Minute Detox Soup: 10 Minute Detox Soup INGREDIENTS
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons yellow miso paste
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped into 2” pieces, stems included

  1. In a large soup pot, sauté onion and garlic gently in olive oil until softened and fragrant. Add curry powder and stir to combine.

  4. Remove from heat and let stand until cool enough to puree.
  5. Puree soup in batches in blender – be sure cover of blender is on tight as steam from soup could pop lid [we like to cover with a towel just to be sure!]
