Month-long cleanses such as “Dry January” or “Veganuary” to name a few are now (very well) known, have become so popular of late that they are now cliches. But they seem to do the trick. And so many of us do it; probably because it’s the perfect way to eradicate the guilt of the gluttony we’ve indulged in for way too long.
So, with that, if you’re looking for ways to help you stay on the wagon, eat healthy and wholesome while fulfilling your exercise goals for a month or so, here are some of my favorite tried and tested innovations that will help you stay on track.

One easy way to ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you need is by blending them together in the form of a smoothie. And the best and most innovative way to do that nowadays is with the NutriBullet Balance, a blender that uses a SMART Nutrition System that sees it connect to an app on a smartphone or tablet, and give real-time nutrition data, down to the very gram. It does this by weighing the food that you put into it, measuring and tracking as you pop them into it. It can, therefore, count calories, proteins, carbs, fats, and sugar content of recipes by using the built-in Nutrition Sensor. This is all about making it easier to make healthy smoothies as users can following the recipes built into the app, which are suggested based on the user’s personal tastes and nutritional goals. A perfect gadget for any detox or cleanse.
