Detox Menu

I have struggled in making this as simple to follow as possible with multiple options for different tastes. If this is hard to follow or understand please let me know. I am shocked how many followers we have. I am loving all the feedback! This is what I have down so far.  This is my first trial in making my personal detox so trial and error.  We may have to add a few things or take away as we see what works best for us. Lunch and dinner can be switched if you like your heaviest meal for lunch rather than dinner.
Good snacks are celery, carrots, green veggies you can add hummus or natural peanut butter but only 1-2 TB(servings are very important with nuts and seeds and so easy to eat more than one serving),
apples or oat cakes with natural peanut butter, smartpop popcorn, grapes or 1/2 grapefruit
