Turn On The Rice Cooker

Sure, it sounds all Suzy Homemaker, but it's really the never-eat-at-home girl's dream come true and can stop you from drunk dialing the deli downstairs for a grilled cheese. Instead of rice, throw some quinoa in there, so it's always hot and ready to go when starvation strikes: "This complete protein is gluten-free and packed with amino acids essential to cleansing and detoxifying the body," says Kumai. "Quinoa also contains plenty of fiber and phosphorus to aid in the expelling of toxins."

For an extra healthy kick, add some heart-healthy avocado, rich in monounsaturated fat, to it (keep them in the fridge to extend freshness). "This type of fat promotes the release of bile from the gallbladder, assisting in proper elimination of toxins from the body and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, & K," says Kumai. "Also, avocados contain vitamin E, folate, pantothenic acid, fiber, and potassium, which are all good for keeping your tummy feeling good."
