If you’re like me, you’ll find that commitment much easier to make if there’s not a half a wheel of brie ogling you from the fridge, or a small mob of leftover gingerbread people just hanging around the cupboard. Gather together anything that might be troublesome, and make a care package for a hungry teenager near you.Shop, Don’t DropWe’ve put together a big shopping list for you, and it can help you break your shopping into two weekly excursions. Be warned: All that produce can add up to a big bill. Don’t faint: Remember, you’re shopping for a whole week at a time. While you’re shopping, pick up a few extra food containers to manage leftovers and pantry items over the two weeks.Prep SchoolOkay, now here’s the tough part: When you get those groceries home, wash your greens. It’s hard to do. I know. I usually just want to shove everything into the fridge and drink wine in front of The Good Wife. But if you wash your greens now, you’ll have one less thing to do once you’re working your way through the recipes. You’ll be grateful later, I promise. Pack washed and dried greens into a big Ziploc bag with a bit of paper towel to manage the moisture inside. And while you’re in washing modes, you might as well rinse all those apples and pears, so they’ll be ready for snacking.A Full Pantry Is a Happy PantryOne signature of the Food Lover’s Cleanse is the variety of big-flavored condiments we use: Think vibrant green tahini sauce fragrant with fresh herbs, crunchy seeds and nuts spiced with garam masala, and red pepper relish made crunchy with walnuts. There are a couple of great vinaigrettes—sesame-miso and whole-grain mustard—and a crunchy dark chocolate bark that delivers a bit of much-deserved sweetness at the end of several Cleanse days. All these recipes can be made ahead of time, so that you can get your Cleanse meals together on the fly.The PantryThe Greenest Tahini SauceIf you leave this on the thicker side, it’s a great crudités dip.

Toss out any cracked shelled mussels, as well as any open ones that don’t close up tight when you squeeze them. The beards are the tough little fibres that help mussels cling to rocks; to remove them, just pinch the hairy fibres with a clean kitchen towel and pull.

Red Pepper–Walnut SpreadDinnerTomato Farroto with Sardines4 servingsFresh sardines are only sporadically available, so we’ve recommended using canned sardines here. By all means broil fresh sardines if your fishmonger has them. If you go with canned, spend a little money on them: Imported Portuguese and Spanish sardines such as Cole’s and Matiz taste much better than the grocery store staples. You could also use good-quality tuna— again, imported canned tuna, or line-caught albacore from the Western U.S., will taste best.

This is because you’ll be stocking up on a number of pantry items that will carry you through the entire cleanse (and beyond, in the case of spices, for example). We’ve put asterisks next to all items that you’ll be using again in week two.Unless otherwise specified, consider each item listed below to be one small can, jar, bottle, box, or however else the item is sold. Where we’ve deemed it useful, we’ve listed a more specific size or amount of items, taking into account the total requirement for those items that are used in both weeks.This cleanse serves 4 for dinner and 1 for both breakfast and lunch. Our dinner recipes will provide leftovers for use in lunch the next day, depending on how much your family eats.
