Detox smoothies are an delicious way to detox. To detox your body, you need to find foods that will help the body purge itself, while providing itself with the necessary vitamins and nutrients.
1. Berry Smoothie
1 1/2 cups Berry Mix (Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries)
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
1 cup Purified Water
1/8 cup Rolled Oats
Blend everything together until you reach a smoothie consistency. The beauty of berries is their easy prep. Fresh berries need a rinse before going in, while frozen you just pop right in. When detoxing organic produce is always recommend.
2. Kale Smoothie
1 handful Kale
1/2 apple
1 cup Coconut Water
Recommend baby kale, since you can just grab it and toss it in your blender.
3. Ginger Spice Smoothie
1 nub Ginger Root
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 handful Spinach
1 cup Purified Water
The more you mince the ginger before adding it in, the less bits you’ll have to crunch on once it’s all blended.
4. Cocoa Bliss Smoothie
1 tbsp Dark Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Strawberries
1 cup ice (if during warmer months)
Blend everything until its in a smoothie consistency.
5. Clean Green Smoothie
1/4 cucumber
1/2 handful spinach or other leafy green
1/2 avocado
1 celery stalk
2 sprigs of Fresh Mint
1 kiwifruit
1 cup Purified Water
1/2 of apple
squirt of lemon
Blend everything together in your blender. If you’re using organic cucumber (recommended) you can leave the peels on for added nutritional value.
