I don’t know about you, but the holidays really wore me out.  Don’t get me wrong, I love any excuse to get together with the gals and stay out way too late, however, i’m in desperate need of my beauty sleep and am so pumped to eat clean and green all January.

Lemon Chicken Detox Soup

This Lemon Chicken Detox Soup is the perfect light yet satisfying bowl of goodness.  Its loaded with vegetables, shredded chicken, leafy greens, and delicious chicken broth. It’s a great way to cleanse without depriving yourself of nutrients and flavor.  Feel free to add any other vegetables you’d like, and if you want to go straight vegetarian, forego the Chicken and use vegetable broth instead.  It’s fairly simple to improvise and adjust to your liking, so don’t be shy! Let’s do this 2018!
