I’m so excited because, as we announced last Friday, our Beauty Detox Summer Salad Challenge starts today!
Join us! Catch the wave of collective energy, that can help support you in your health and beauty goals. These challenges are meant to harness the energy of the community and use it to benefit all with positivity and inspiration to live your best life.
To be part of our #beautydetoxchallenge, eat ONE large salad-based, all-plant meal for lunch OR dinner each day. It begins today (Monday), and ends this coming Sunday!
Remember, this challenge is NOT about only eating one salad per day, or only eating salad and nothing else for a week. Rather, you still eat regular meals (and ideally your Glowing Green Smoothie in the morning), but one of your meals is this big, salad based meal.
And this is NOT about restriction either. Your lunch or dinner main course salad should be large, abundant with greens and can be topped with:
- Avocado
- Cooked veggies
- Lentils/beans
- Seeds/Nuts (these are more dense, so as I mention in The Beauty Detox Solution, you might want to pick one of the other options, or if you’re eating these at lunch please be moderate in portion size!)
- Quinoa
- Starchier veggies like squash, sweet potatoes
- Or even paired with veggie soup or a wrap.
If you need some ideas you can also pick from the recipes I posted on Friday.
Or, like this salad below I recently made, you can see I paired it with some leftover Turlu Turlu Turkish Vegetable Casserole from dinner the night before!
Remember our Beauty Detox Mantra: Progress Not Perfection!
We’ll of course be updating you about the challenge right here on the blog, but the social aspect of this challenge is VERY important as that’s where you’ll share your pics.
We want you share pictures on the social network of your choosing, and use the appropriate tag — #BeautyDetoxChallenge — so we can find you! Here are the links to tag as well:

This is very important; posting pictures is half the fun and it’s also a great way to keep you accountable while inspiring others! It’s win-win-win all around :)
I will also do my best to retweet/regram posts you tag me in as well. Bloggers who participate will be linked on a dedicated post on this blog next week!
Show Me Your Stunning Summer Salads! :)
This is such a fun way to establish an powerful health habit that can keep you looking and feeling your absolute best — now, and in the years to come.
I so look forward to you joining us in this challenge and for you to share your beautiful creations with me and the worldwide community.
I’ll be looking out for the tags and can’t wait to see what all my beauties are eating and sharing.
Thanks so much and talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Kimberly
This is a Middle Eastern salad-based dish we got while traveling. Delish!
Hi Kimberly,
You say to eat a large green salad first thing at lunch. In terms portion size, how large is large? Thanks!
