Dear ,
The word “detox” is among the most overused and misunderstood terms in the field of health.
One of my biggest "pet peeves" are the many "detox smoothies" out there... with more sugar than a soft drink! Needless to say, that's NOT the way to detox!
But it doesn't mean that true cellular detoxification is not possible. You can successfully detoxify your body.
And in today's modern world - where even the most careful among us are exposed to mercury, mold, aluminum, glyphosate and the list goes on - it is more important than ever!
These and other toxins can be at the root of many health challenges.
This free class is conducted by our friends, Pedram Shojai (author of the New York Times Bestseller The Urban Monk) and detoxification expert Dr. Dan Pompa.

TODAY'S DETOX RECIPE
===============
When the craving for chocolate strikes, there isn't another food in the world that can substitute.
Of course, as you've heard by now, REAL chocolate is a superfood with a myriad of health benefits. Rich organic cocoa is one of the most powerful antioxidant foods. It also helps blood vessels relax, lowering blood pressure. And it boosts endorphins, giving you a euphoric feeling (it's no wonder "chocoholics" are so hooked).
So what's not to love?
Is Your Chocolate Addiction Keeping You From The Lean Body You Crave?
While savoring a small square or two of organic dark chocolate (ideally 80% cacao!) is delicious and satisfying, many people find that it's all too easy to go back for MORE.
Before you know it, half the bar is gone and you've consumed several hundred calories and 20+ grams of sugar.
If you're one of those people, your daily chocolate ritual could be adding calories and sugar you body doesn't need, adding to the padding in those places you don't want.
How to Eat MORE Chocolate for Leaner, "Greener" Body
I love to enjoy squares from a high quality chocolate bar. But when it comes to really reaping the benefits of cocoa, I prefer it in a dessert with a matrix of fiber, protein and other healthy fats. Not only will you feel more satisfied, but with the right recipes, you can enjoy MORE chocolate-y goodness with less calories and sugar.
Today I'm going to share two super-simple and delicious chocolate recipes that will satisfy your cravings for chocolate, while also providing powerful detoxifying ingredients that fill you up and purify your digestive system.
Feel free to top these treats with organic raspberries, sliced almonds or cacao nibs for even greater flavor and more health benefits!
To your health,
