Hi friends! I hope you’re enjoying the week so far. I’m in the middle of another detox from Dr. Cabral and I feel amazing.

For today’s post I wanted to talk a little about spa kitchen, as next week I’ll be focusing on extra tasty and fresh meals. Spa cuisine is often made up of fresh, local, seasonal or organic ingredients that are presented in a simple but colourful way. They tend to focus on quality rather than quantity and are not only rich in nutrients but also in flavour. In spa meals, you often see a lot of fresh produce, herbs and citrus.
The spa experience is all about being more aware of your personal wellbeing, with treatments that leave you feeling lighter and refreshed. Spa cuisine takes it a step further by nourishing your body from within. Luckily, you don’t have to spend a day at the spa to enjoy these carefully crafted dishes. Today, I’m sharing a roundup of spa cuisine recipes that you can easily recreate anytime.
Many of these recipes are also gluten and dairy free.
