Tips To Detoxify Your Body During The Holiday Season

Good day ladies, with the holiday season approaching and Thanksgiving in a few days. Here are some simple juice and smoothie recipes that can help you detoxify your body from the amount of food and alcohol that you will consume over the holiday season.


Green Goodness Smoothie(used blender)

• 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy beverage
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 kale stalk
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1/2 mango

Morning Glory Juice(use juicer)

• 2 kale leaves 
• 2 celery stalks
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 apple 
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 small piece of ginger

Sassy Spinach Juice(use juicer)

• 3 cups spinach
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 cucumber
• 1 apple
• 1 lime
• 1 small piece of ginger

Green Tea Ginger Lemon Smoothie

• 2 cups water 
• 1 small piece of ginger
• 1 green tea bag
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Add all natural sweetener for taste(agave, maple syrup, etc.)

Directions for this smoothie: Bring water and ginger to boil in saucepan, then lower heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, add the tea bag, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the bag, add lemon juice, and enjoy warm or chilled.

Remember that juicing can give you a daily dose of nutrients in an easily digestible form by removing the pulp(fiber) from fruits and vegetables. Drinking juices during a detox can help support your body with enzymes and minerals, as well as restore an alkaline environment. Smoothies include the fiber, but also provide the body with important vitamins and nutrients during a detox. Part of the detox process is elimination, and keeping the fiber keeps things going. So you can use both juices and smoothies to help detox the body. 

If you want to do this detox daily, for a few days, or even a week its fine. Your body will thank you for it. Hope this information is helpful to all and Happy Thanksgiving to All!
