1 teaspoon cumin
Method
Mix diced tomato, peppers, red onions, celery and cucumber together in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture in half and separate in two bowls.

Refrigerate overnight.
A vegetable soup made with water and fresh vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, celery, carrots, and cabbage is a good choice for a detox diet, and you can eat as much of it as you want. Baked potatoes are also a good choice, as long as you avoid sour cream, butter, and other toppings. Vegetable stir fries made with brown noodles or brown rice and salads with either no dressing or one such as a balsamic vinegar are also good choices. Fresh fish can also be eaten while on a detox diet because certain types of fish contain no calories, and can be combined into a casserole with fresh fruit or vegetables.
A detox recipe consisting of fresh spinach, water, a banana, a celery stalk and a few slices of cucumber is an effective way to enhance your detox diet. Blending these ingredients into smoothie form and replacing two meals a day with these will not only help to get rid of toxins in your body, but may also double your amount of weight loss during the detox diet's time period.
