Light & clean

Feeling “heavy”? It happens! Our body is susceptible to changes and it’s not uncommon to experience bloating, fatigue, mental fogginess and irregular bowel movement every time we “mess up” with our routine (think about traveling, changing job, moving to a different place, not sleeping enough, weather changes, etc.). This menu will leave you feeling lighter and more balanced through the use of potent foods and cooking methods for a true and real internal cleanse.
