Detox deserts?

azzacca

I am going to be doing a week long detox with no wheat, sugar, caffeine or dairy. I am going to a gathering on Sunday. Any suggestions on what I might bring?

Detoxing isn't needed. Your body detoxes just fine.

I think most Raw Food cookbooks (or uncookbooks) will have something to meet your needs. You might want to go to a bookstore/library and browse some books to see what strikes your fancy.
A friend of mine brough a raw apple pie to a dinner and it was YUMMY.

Try looking into (Googling) some Paleo Diet recipes. They are all wheat, sugar, and dairy free.

is it the 7 day detox miracle?

Detox deserts? I hear the Sahara and Kalahari are nice.

Oh wait....

It's one that my trainer gave me to do.... Basically not much changes for me, other than the dairy and sugar. I already avoid caffeine and have reduced wheat to next to nothing.

Or if you don't want to go to the bookstore and get a cookbook, there are lots of online recipes. Here are some:

Fresh fruit is always good, but if you want to feel like it's more of a dessert, you could bake apples with cinnamon. Or, if you can have rice, you could make like a rice pudding without egg and sugar, just add fruit and soy or rice milk.

1pound chicken tenders
salt
ground black pepper
1/3 cup prepared Buffalo wing sauce

4 carrots, cut into sticks
2 kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
1/3 cup fat-free ranch dressing

Directions
1. Season the chicken tenders to taste with salt and pepper.
2.Coat a ridged grill pan with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat, or heat an electric countertop griller. Grill the chicken, turning once, about 4 minutes, or until browned and no longer pink in the thickest part. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the Buffalo sauce.
3. Place the chicken on a platter with the celery, carrots, cucumbers, and the ranch dressing for dipping. Serve with a good supply of wooden picks.

Ranch dressing and ricotta both count as dairy, but those recipes DO sound good!
