I suppose since it’s the mark of a new year, we should ask if you have any resolutions yet? Besides knocking out a print cookbook (!!!) I don’t think we have anything set in stone. But, I can never shake the idea of January being a “blank slate” month for my diet. If you’re like us, the new year always seems like a good time to reconsider eating habits. So we decided to make you a little gift. Today we’re not only sharing a new recipe, but we’re also releasing our new and improved Detox Guide! The best part? We’re giving it away for FREE to email subscribers! We use the term “detox” loosely. Our ideal of a good detox is just filling up on whole foods. Our new Detox Guide is 15 recipes from the blog, but repurposed in a meaningful and easy-to-digest (ha!) format with the goal of helping you detox from all that holiday, end-of-year goodness. Every meal and recipe is nutritious, vegan and gluten free. Sounds like the perfect reset button for your diet. Ready to check it out? Just sign up for our email list – if you haven’t already – and see what’s inside! We promise you’ll love it. And if you’re already a subscriber, it should be sitting in your inbox now! To kick off the launch of this guide, we’re sharing this recipe for naturally-sweetened Apple Pie Date Bars that are seriously reminiscent of Larabar’s Apple Pie flavor (second only to their peanut butter flavor). I shared a version of these bars in our first Detox Guide, but have since reworked and seriously improved them for those of you who missed out. Consider these little gems everything you’re looking for to fit into your busy lifestyle this year: Simple, healthy, natural, fiber- and protein-rich, and perfect as a snack or on-the-go breakfast. Without further ado, get your download by subscribing to our email list! Treat this Detox Guide as a little gift from us to you to thank you for all the love you showed us in 2014. Happy eating, friends!
