10 resources for healthy and easy recipes

It's a new year, and many of us are trying to eat more healthfully. To spare you the insane, highly restrictive, and mostly unsustainable detox diets and juice cleanses that abound at this virtuous time, we designed a week-long menu here at Vox with the help of nutritional consultants Matt Fitzgerald and Yoni Freedhoff.

Our main goal with the Anti-Detox Diet, as you can probably guess from the name, was not to perpetuate pseudoscientific health claims like gluten phobia or impose impossible food rules. Instead, we delivered delicious, enjoyable, and achievable eating suggestions.

The diet is easy: every recipe uses fewer than six ingredients and only takes a few minutes to make. The diet is also based on facts most everyone can agree on: we can stand to eat more vegetables, fruits, and whole food, and less added sugar and processed food.

Today, we checked in with readers in a Facebook chat to learn about how they're finding the Anti-Detox Diet.

The main questions we heard were, "What do I do after the week is over?" and "Where can I find more healthy and easy recipes?"

Here are a few awesome resources we find helpful. Some even have nutrition information for their foods and allow you to search by dietary requirements.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
