Detox Smoothie
Detox smoothies helps the body get rid of toxins that occur naturally when we metabolize foods, but also to help eliminate chemical and viral toxins. When toxic waste accumulates in the body, it can create weight gain, hormonal imbalances, lowers immune system, slows digestion, creates breakouts, poor hair and bone health, brain fog, and contributes to disease.
The formula for a detox smoothie includes a base liquid + a base ingredient + creamy ingredient + greens + seeds/herbs.
A Base Liquid: includes filtered water, coconut water, unsweetened nut milk, fresh apple or orange juice, herbal or green tea, or unsweetened kefir.
A Base Ingredient: can be any fresh fruit like apple, orange, kiwi, berries, pineapple, mango, and peaches, or a fruit like cucumber or beets.
A Creamy Ingredient: banana, avocado, unsweetened natural yoghurt, blanched almonds or nut butter, or even cauliflower (yes! even cauliflower which is actually tasteless but adds a great creamy texture).
Greens - kale, spinach, beet greens, or arugula are great additions.
Seeds/Herbs - adding fiber and filling chia, hemp or flaxseeds and/or herbs like ginger can aid in stomach upset, bloat, and even extra fat-burning fire.
