Start the new year as you mean to go on with a delicious new meal plan courtesy of Dubai’s favorite healthy-eating hub

While New Year’s resolutions often kick off with a strong commitment to eating well and exercising more in the first few days of January, bad habits typically return with a vengeance come week two. Luckily for those intent on actually sticking to their fitness pledges in 2018, Flow, the popular health hub at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, has launched the Flow January Detox – a set-menu meal plan comprising breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack that is designed to provide a total body reset for the coming year and draw a line under festive season indulgence.

Available at AED625 for five days of meals, the brand-new programme focuses on detoxifying and anti-inflammatory ingredients and runs throughout January and aims to cleanse the body while taking the hassle out of shopping and food prep. With dairy-free, sugar-free and gluten-free options available in abundance, meals comprise a structured balance of fruits, veg and lean proteins in nutrient-dense dishes including egg-white omelets quinoa and pistachio-crusted salmon and, of course, smashed avocado on toast.
