Wild Rose Herbal Detox - Day 1

Print Friendly and PDF Back in December, I had decided to do the Wild Rose Herbal D-tox program(you can buy it here) since I hadn't been feeling well. With the holidays coming up, I wasn't very successful - I stopped after 3 days. While I always eat quite healthy, following a detox takes a little extra determination.

At the end of each day, I will write down what I ate for the day.  I'm hoping this can help someone who wants to try and follow this D-Tox program, or just plain eat healthier.  I like to keep most of my meals pretty simple as I end up making two meals most of the time: one for me, and one for hubby and the boys.
Note: All of these Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox recipes will also work with the Wild Rose Cand-Aid program.

DAY 1

Breakfast
oatmeal w/fruit & nuts (1 serving)
1/2 cup steel cut oats (or any type of oats, just not instant)
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup frozen berries
1/2 cup roasted almonds (350 degree oven for 15 minutes)
1/4 teaspoon cinammon


  1. Cook oats as per directions:  For steel cut oats, add 1/2 cup oats to 1 1/2 cups boiling water and simmer for 20 minutes or until desired consistency.
  2. Put oats in bowl, add berries and they will thaw quickly.
  3. Add milk, almonds and cinnamon.
  4. Stir and enjoy!  Serves 1.
Lunch
I didn't take the time to make my lunch for work today and Teriyaki Experience is the only take-out option for me on this eating plan.  They cook with water, have brown rice and use fresh ingredients.  I just ask them to omit the mushrooms.  I also brought my own sauce which is a mixture of Bragg's Soy Seasoning and chili flakes.


Supper
chickpea salad with lemon dressing (1 serving)
-4 big handfuls organic salad
-red onion, sliced (use as much of these as you can eat, much healthful benefits including anti-inflammatory)
-1 cup roasted chickpeas (2 cups chickpeas tossed with 1/2 tsp olive oil and sprinkled with salt, pepper, chili powder and garlic powder.  Bake at 425 deg for 30 minutes, turning them after 15 mins.  Use one cup for your salad and keep the other half for snacking!)
-1 cup grape tomatoes
-1 apple, chopped
-1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

dressing:
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon (I squeeze a bunch at a time and have a ready-made container of it in the fridge).
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried mustard


  1. Mix dressing ingredients together in a small bowl with a fork.
  2. Put all your salad ingredients in a big salad bowl.
  3. Pour dressing, toss and enjoy!  
I've received lots of comments at work that my salads are huge!  Most people don't believe they could eat that much at once, so if this is too much for you, just size it down.  I find if I want to stay satisfied with a salad, it's gotta be big!

Snack
strawberry-almond rice cakes (1 serving)
2 brown rice cakes, unsalted
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 large strawberries, sliced

This is a sweet and satisfying treat!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. I don't think you can have vinegar though.

Monique Poirier said...

Hi Sylvie, you are absolutely right! I always thought that apple cider vinegar was allowed on the Wild Rose D-Tox as it's allowed on the Candaid program.

I've been meaning to add that information, but my computer has broken down and my work computer doesn't allow me to edit or add new posts due to some firewalls.

I had no idea could leave comments until I tried to reply to yours, so thank you very much for your comment!

Fresh squeezed lemon can be used instead of the vinegar in all salad dressings.

wondering about the homemade butter...wild rose allows butter but not cream

Monique Poirier said...

Hi Sue, the process of making the butter separates the buttermilk from the butter. The buttermilk needs to be discarded (or frozen) if you're following the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox, however, the butter is absolutely allowed on the D-Tox as is store-bought butter.

Vinegar undergoes a fermentation process which Wild Rose does not allow.

Question, I don't see chickpeas on the list or legumes... Are we allowed them during the Wild Rose cleanse?

Monique Poirier said...

Yes, Chickpeas are allowed, they fall under the beans category.
