January Detox
After the excesses and (stresses) of the festive period, this guide is to help you steer through the month of January with an appropriate ‘duty of care’ to body and mind. Use, what is arguably one of the dullest months of the year to get rest and super-charge your immune system and overall health.
Limit Alcohol
The first thing that is on the list is to limit alcohol and if the months weekends seem unbearable without a cheeky cocktail, then this pretty blood orange, alcohol-free, mocktail, might just be your answer.
We recommend a visit to Poundland for bargain cocktail maker sets and Hobbycraft for an amazing selection of Jars which make the most on trend choice for drinking receptacles.
Blood Orange and spiced Vanilla Mocktail
Ingredients
- 6 blood oranges juice, freshly squeezed,
- slices for garnish
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lime
- 500ml sparkling water
- blood orange slices for garnish
- Cardamom
- ginger
Instructions
- Squeeze the blood orange juice into a jar with a sealed lid or cocktail shaker. Add the honey, spices and vanilla extract to the fresh juice. Shake. Add ice to cool it down.
- With the drinking glasses – you can frost the rims using orange juice round the rim and dipping into crystallised brown sugar, gold and silver sprinkles or other edible decorative frosting, generally, it is wise to use a ready-made decorator icing for the rim as opposed to orange juice for things such as sprinkles to stick.
- Pour evenly into two ice-filled glasses. Top with a squeeze of lime and sparkling water and a slice of blood orange on top.
Notes
Squeeze the blood orange juice on a non-porous surface or one that you don’t mind ruining. It will stain.
Alternatively, if you are more partial to the craft beer or an opportune prosecco – take a visit to Sainsburys and explore their impressive array of Alcohol-Free drinks – to keep your spirits up!

Foods and Prebiotics
Another reason to visit Boots is their own brand probiotic with prebiotics blend. If embarking on a healthy eating campaign this supplement can really boost your gut health and is well worth a try in line with the other healthy eating guidelines.
If it is the snacking on crisps and junk food that is your biggest challenge – Boots is also a good call – their chilled lunch cabinets providing lots of healthy snacking options carrots, dips and graze packs all providing you with essential nutrients when hunger hits!
